With the launch of Greektown Wifi, the Internet reached a whole new level in Detroit’s historic entertainment district. This Greektown Wi-Fi hotspot delivers broadband speed and performance to Greektown Detroit, and it is a service of Cronus Communications.
Cronus Communications has built a revolutionary wireless broadband network in Greektown Detroit, and Greektown Wifi keeps the neighborhood connected to the world. More and more people are emailing, instant messaging, tweeting and surfing the web everywhere in the downtown core, and the network gives them high speeds and excellent connectivity wherever they are in the Greektown District. It is one example of the work Cronus does through its Public Spaces Wi-Fi services.
Cronus Communications First to Launch Free Wi-Fi Access in Detroit’s Greektown
Free wireless Internet access in Greektown Detroit became available to the public with the announcement from DETROIT, Michigan (October 15, 2013). Detroit’s historic Greektown now has free public Wi-Fi supplied by Cronus Communications, with coverage that extends to the Detroit Riverfront through Free Public Wifi By Cronus.
Cronus Communications was the first company in Detroit to provide free Internet on such a large scale. The Wi-Fi is accessible on Monroe Street, from Chrysler Service Drive to Randolph Ave. To get online in these areas, simply turn on your Wi-Fi-enabled device, connect to the ‘Greektown Wi-Fi’ signal, and launch your browser to agree to the terms of service.
“Greektown is a district where people should be able to live, work, and play,” said Tom Paparaptis, president and founder of Cronus Communications. “And as local Business internet providers, we need to offer continued advantages to move into this district, to increase its revitalization and rebirth.”
“With such growth in Detroit these days, it’s important to provide free Wi-Fi, starting with Greektown and the entertainment corridor on Monroe,” Paparaptis said. “We will be promoting Detroit events and businesses through our mobile marketing technology and we’re eager to engage with local companies.”
According to Paparaptis, Cronus has over 155 nodes (network connection areas) that aren’t used for Wi-Fi but rather for commercial use, much like the infrastructure behind its Fixed Wireless Internet service. These can be converted to cover the whole city depending on demand.
“This is a great start so far and we look forward to working with groups and individuals interested in extending the network,” Paparaptis said.
