The launch of Mayo’s Wifi4EU service took place today in Ballina.

The first group of towns going live this week are Ballina, Belmullet, Crossmolina, Newport & Swinford. 

Mayo County Council plans for a second group of towns to go live in Q1 of 2021.

The Wifi4EU service has been installed and will be supported by Castlebar Company Westnet,

The WiFi4EU Project provides free outdoor public Wi-Fi service in 9 locations in County Mayo. The service is installed in public places such as main streets, public parks and other public areas of high footfall. It aims to provide high-quality Internet service, free of charge in these public spaces. This new service encapsulates one of the main pillars of the upcoming new Mayo Digital Strategy, “Infrastructure”, a key enabler of any new modern society and one which will allow the citizens of Mayo to grow in this new phase of digital technology.
