“With our common vision of free internet access in public spaces, we have partnered with the Friends of Sea Point Pavilion to connect people with our FreeWifi service,” says Mark Slingsby, RSAWeb CEO. “We love the Sea Point Promenade but thought, ‘Why doesn’t it have Wi-Fi?’”. RSAWeb is a national internet service provider headquartered in Sea Point.

“This project gives tourists the chance to advertise our beautiful city on their social media and, more importantly, it gives any person high-quality internet. The importance of convenient access, especially in underprivileged areas, cannot be understated. This is part of our FreeWifi Project Beta programme before we target other high traffic areas around Cape Town. We welcome public engagement as to where future FreeWifi would be most beneficial to their local community,” Mark added.

Says the Friends of Sea Point Pavilion, a long-standing community group formed in 2009 to help make the swimming pool area more enjoyable and convenient as a public facility: “The Wi-Fi also gives us a way to help support our food vendors already on the forecourt.” The forecourt area alongside the swimming pool is the only area on the promenade with arranged shaded seating where you can enjoy some refreshments, an ice-cream, a coffee, or even lunch, from a nearby food vendor.

Up to 50 devices can be connected to the Wi-Fi at the same time.
