Nokia opens Wi-Fi Zones in select Dhaka cafés
Nokia have launched four Wi-Fi zones at select Cafés in Dhaka City. The Wi-Fi areas will be free for consumers who own an authorised Nokia N Series handset, says a press release. The Wi- Fi zones are being powered by Agni Systems Ltd. and will provide high speed internet connection.
"This is a great opportunity for Nokia to showcase the capabilities of our mobile multimedia devices," said Prem Chand, general manager, Nokia Emerging Asia. "Wi-Fi in the cafes is an excellent way to pilot new services, while N Series users can enjoy some of their favorite pastimes while in the cafe - such as reading the paper, listening to music or accessing the Internet - in an entirely new way."
"Wi-Fi can be more than about Web surfing and checking e-mail," noted Prem. "What if a hot spot was not just a gateway, but a destination? What if it offered rich multimedia experiences based on the neighborhood where you are located? As prime neighborhood meeting grounds, Cafes are ideal places for people to experience this new approach to public Wi-Fi."
These Wi-Fi zones will be complete with an experience booth showcasing three of Nokia's N Series devices, the N 95, N93i and N73, Bose speakers and a 14" screen. This experience corner is open to all patrons of the café to experience the multimedia services of N Series devices.
"These Wi-Fi cafés will enhance neighborhood hot spots and allow people to simply connect, share, and build communities using the newest approach to next-generation wireless applications, services and experiences. "said Prem.
The Wi-Fi zones are located in Kozmo Lounge, Dhanmondi, PM Lounge, Kamal Ataturk Road, Banani, NSIS, Shoppers World, Gulshan and Déjà vu Café, Gulshan Avenue.
