WiFi Italia, 160 access points for the Hospital of Mantova

First healthcare facilities in Lombardia to join Piazza Wifi Italia: coperage for Mantova, Pieve, Asola, Bozzolo, Viadana, Goito e Rems

The Wi-fi system upgrade is underway. Mantua's ASST has joined the Piazza Wifi Italia project, promoted by the Ministry of Economic Development to allow all citizens to connect, for free and easily, to a free and widespread wifi network throughout the country. The initiative, born in January for Municipalities, has been extended since March to health and hospital facilities. Mantua's ASST is the first in Lombardy to participate.

Infratel Italia SpA, in agreement with the MISE and in collaboration with the technical partner TIM and the Ministry of Innovation, will proceed with the supply and installation of 5 thousand WiFi access points in public hospitals that can request them: ospedaliwifitalia@infratelitalia.it  Installation works are underway in the ASST structures which will allow a total of 160 access points, 22 of which at the Mantua hospital. The others in the hospitals of Asola, Bozzolo, Pieve di Coriano, Viadana, Cps of Mantua (Viale Repubblica), Goito Polyclinic and Rems of Castiglione delle Stiviere.

A second step is planned, which plans to cover other locations, including the Child Neuropsychiatry in Viale Piave, the Consultorio di Lunetta, Suzzara, Castelgoffredo. The new service is integrated with the system already activated in ASST at the Mantua hospital and being extended to other corporate structures, both indoors and outdoors. The goal is to equip citizens and staff with connectivity tools that are also useful for dealing with the Covid emergency.

"The interest shown by the health structures of Lombardy, the region most affected by the virus emergency, shows that technology reduces the distances caused by the epidemic, making patient isolation and distance from their families less heavy" - he declared the President of Infratel Eleonora Fratesi - "with this initiative we confirm our commitment to create a public network dedicated to citizens, which is the primary objective of the Piazza WiFi Italia project". To access the network just download the dedicated application from the App store or Google Play, register and connect with the same credentials not only in the ASST facilities, but throughout Italy
