According to the Chairman of the Port Authority, Francisco Álvarez de la Chica, Motril Port has the largest, free WIFI area in the whole of the province.
He was flanked, when he made the announcement, by heavyweights, María Jesús Almazor, who is the Head of Telefónica’s Southern Area, and Flor Almon, who is the Mayor of Motril.
The Internet coverage system is called Social Wifi, (Premium) and can handle 2,000 users simultaneously in the pre-embarking areas around the port, giving a total area of 30,000 sq/m.
This is all thanks to the arrival of fibre-optic (FTTH) in the port, giving 300 megas of symetric ouput.
There has also been a deal struck with CISCO, giving access to their Cloud platform for four years, which can be extended.
