More and more public places are being approached by an increasing number of customers who enjoy free Wi-Fi access.
Waiting in launderettes and medical offices is more pleasant when wireless Internet is available. The same goes for museums where visitors are delighted to be able to use their telephones to directly access information concerning the works on exhibition through this medium. And what could be more pleasant than being able to communicate with close ones on a social network, seated on a bench in a sunny park or public garden?
We are attentive to our customers and users and are constantly developing new technologies for free wireless Internet access from public places.
Our patented technology has already enabled a million users to connect to the web and close to 50,000 persons use the Adael network regularly.
Over time our concern for customer satisfaction and our technological know-how have made Adael one of the major operators for free Wi-Fi in France.
