Free Wireless For Uppingham’s Market Place – Get On Line
The Falcon Hotel and Rutland Telecom join forces with Uppingham First to celebrate opening up a wireless network across Uppingham’s Market Place.Uppingham residents, businesses, and visitors look set to benefit from free access to a high-speed wireless network available throughout the Market Place.
‘Connectivity in the heart of the town has been a problem for too long, and our work with The Falcon Hotel has been a great opportunity to solve this problem once and for all’, says new Managing Director of Rutland Telecom – Christer Karlsson.
A working relationship between the pioneering telecoms provider and the owners of multiple hospitality outlets in the Market Place highlighted the opportunity to make a small decision with a big impact: throw a wireless net across the centre of the town and give everyone access to it.
‘Between our three hospitality units we want to create a vibrant environment catering to all needs, whether sitting down to work away from the office, or just wanting to check on your social networking,’ says The Falcon Hotel Director James Torbell, ‘We feel the work we have done with Rutland Telecom offering free wi-fi is giving something back to all of our customers and promoting Uppingham as a meeting place for all in Rutland and the surrounding areas.’
Between 10am and 1pm on Tuesday 6th December there will be an informal celebration held at The Falcon Hotel, with an open invitation to all residents, businesses, and visitors. Hot drinks and sweet treats with giveaways from Rutland Telecom will mark the launch of the free access wireless network. Jointly held with Uppingham First, Ron Simpson of the town’s Community Partnership clearly outlines the community benefits:
‘We have been actively leading the National Get Online Campaign for Uppingham, and free access to wireless at The Falcon is the perfect time to offer face-to-face support in a friendly environment.’
If anyone would like support with something related to getting online they can sit at one of several laptops available on the day and chat with experts who can help with everything from buying online, setting up free email addresses, or Skyping friends and families anywhere in world.
Christer continues: ‘Together, we are delighted to have a network that makes Uppingham an even better destination for shoppers and business people, and working with Uppingham First means that we can make a difference to people who need it most in the Town.’
