Ruckus Wireless provides free high-speed outdoor public Wi-Fi service up and down the City’s world-famous Market Street corridor in San Francisco, partnering the City and County of San Francisco, CA. The public Wi-Fi service with the network name ‘_San_Francisco_Free_WiFi’ in the city covers the intersection of Market and Castro Streets down to the pedestrian corridor at the Embarcadero, one of the most heavily foot-trafficked thoroughfares in the world. The free Wi-Fi service is an outcome of public-private partnership between San Francisco’s Department of Technology (DT) and Ruckus.

“Because San Francisco is at the world’s epicenter of technology innovation and use, residents, visitors and even businesses now have a fundamental expectation for pervasive wireless connectivity,” said Mayor Edwin M. Lee. “We have gone to great lengths to build the foundation to deliver on these expectations with the best Wi-Fi technology we could find right in our own backyard.”

 Selina Lo, president and CEO of Ruckus Wireless“Ruckus and San Francisco share a similar vision of the vital importance in providing pervasive, reliable wireless connectivity to people who rely on getting online everyday to work, play, and live,” said Selina Lo, president and CEO of Ruckus Wireless.

“With the explosive growth of the mobile Internet and mobile Internet applications, high-speed Wi-Fi access is now viewed as a non-negotiable utility. We are proud to have been chosen as the foundation and technology provider for delivering such a valuable service to the City of San Francisco.” Read More Ruckus Wireless Teams With San Francisco to Deliver Free High-Speed Outdoor Public Wi-Fi Access to Millions of Residents and Visitors
