Wi-fi and apps, as well Gorizia winks to tourists – Friuli

05/29/2016

Gorizia 2.0. We could call it that, perhaps exaggerating a bit ‘, but synthesizing well that you are trying to do in isontino capital. A city rich in history and tradition, and tend to be more devoted to the past (even for the average age of its inhabitants away rather high) rather than focused on the future. But also a city that is changing its skin, and that works to offer more and more modern, accessible and open to citizens and visitors. In this sense are some of the projects launched in recent weeks – and that will materialize from here on – by the municipality.

Just access
Among all, the most visible and concrete is probably the strengthening of public wifi network ‘William’, which covers much of the city center (Gorizia it is among the regional capitals at the time the one with the widest coverage) and has just experienced a decisive transformation. For several days, in fact, it was launched the system ‘passwordless’, ie an automatic connection that does not require the user, citizen Gorizia or tourist who is, to enter his credentials to each new access. All data access of registered before May 18th are no longer valid, because the system has been reset and modified, but users will have to register from now on only the first time: then the system will automatically recognize your phone, tablet or registered computer whenever this will come in the areas covered by the signal.
“We really believe in the technology – says Fabrizio Oreti, city councilor with responsibility for Access of the Municipality of Gorizia – and we want to contribute as much as possible to a city into the future. Now the internet is no longer a luxury, but an essential service that people need to work, study and stay informed. And the answer in all these years of Gorizia on our project was important. For this we do not stop. ” A second innovation concerns the quality of service. The link speed is increased from 1 to 20 Mega, improving not just the experience for the user. That can be a student, a professional, an ordinary citizen or a tourist. And speaking of tourists, who knows that visitors can not take advantage of its new wifi network ‘William’ – now it can be accessed in the city center, the train station or in the premises of the public library – to also use the application for smart phones, tablet pc and “Let’s Go!”.

Interactive Maps and events
The app was launched a few years ago with the idea to promote the modern technological means the beauty of Gorizia and all the the city has to offer. Evidently, especially with a thought to the visitors. In recent weeks the City Council has announced plans to lose the hand, and ‘Let’s Go!’ Will undergo a makeover that will make it better, more complete and pleasant to use. In addition, the application will be implemented many new data on shopping, entertainment and local events calendar, with interactive maps that enable the visitor to discover every corner of Gorizia.
