THE DEPARTMENT of Information and Communications Technology Visayas Cluster 2 aims to deploy 424 Free Wi-Fi sites in Central Visayas under its Free Wi-Fi for all program.

DICT Secretary Gregorio Honasan II said they will continue their efforts to provide internet connection for all Filipinos.

“Your DICT continues to ramp up its connectivity efforts, especially the Free Wi-Fi for All Program, in line with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s directive to connect the government to other governments, government to businesses, government to citizens, and everybody to each,” he said.

“Free Wi-Fi provides instant access to the Internet and will help Filipinos adopt to the new normal,” he added.

DICT VC2 looks forward to deploying Free Wi-Fi sites in 106 locations across the region, with four Free Wi-Fi sites to be installed in one location.

To date, there are a total of 8,170 Free Wi-Fi sites deployed across the country.

Meanwhile, the DICT aims to deploy more Free Wi-Fi sites in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas using very small aperture terminal technology.
