Kotoka International Airport To Offer Free WiFi Soon

There is good news for all the travelers who use the Kotoka International Airport. The Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) has started the process to provide a suite of complimentary and subscribed WiFi access at all terminals of the Kotoka International Airport. Currently, the company just provides limited free WiFi access at the business and first class lounges. This move is to open the wifi to all travelers using the airport.

This is a great move on the company because it would mean that the KIA can keep up with the international practice where almost every airport in the world provides either free and unlimited WiFi access to all travelers. The company has therefore called for proposals from interested entities to bid for the contract to install, operate, manage and maintain a reliable, modern and scalable WiFi network based on GACL standards.

The eventual winner would be required to implement multi-tiered wireless network connectivity options for passengers at both terminals 1 and 2 of KIA. GACL said the system would be expected to provide a fast, secure and passenger-convenient complimentary WiFi access that would be upgraded by the operator as technology emerges.

Furthermore, the Internet Service Providers would be allowed to place adverts on the WiFi page since it is a free service.

This is indeed good news; however, it is our hope that the process of selecting the providers would be done above board and devoid of any controversy or embezzlement.
