ISP Internode will offer free Wi-Fi access to users at Adelaide’s new $260 million airport. This Internode hotspot will make Adelaide Airport the first airport in Australia to provide free terminal-wide access to the Web. Internode customers using the airport can gain full Internet access using the Internode Wireless network. This Internode Wireless initiative extends the company’s ground-breaking work with CityLan, a wireless network that covers large areas of the Adelaide Central Business District. The terminal-wide hotspot covers all public areas of the two-storey terminal, including its 3400 square metre retail precinct. Adelaide Airport Ltd Corporate Affairs Manager John McArdle said the Internode Wireless "hotspot" laid out the welcome mat for visitors to Adelaide. "They can get online throughout the terminal, which is terrific, especially for business travellers," he said. “What makes Adelaide Airport unique in Australia is that Internode is providing free Web access, which is enormously convenient for people on the move. Most airports only offer wireless access in airline lounges or you need an ISP account to use their wireless networks. "No other airport hotspot in Australia offers free Web access throughout the terminal. We are very proud that Internode has chosen Adelaide Airport to offer this first in Australia." Internode Strategic Development Manager John Lindsay said the free Web "hotspot" at Adelaide Airport was just the start of the company's plans. "We can easily provide full Internet access to any business located within the airport," he said. "The Internode Wireless hotspot at Adelaide Airport is integrated into the existing CityLan wireless network that covers the Adelaide CBD area, making Adelaide an extremely convenient place to both visit and do business." "We will also look for other opportunities to provide Internode Wireless hotspots nationally."
