Cities of São Paulo and São José dos Campos
CommScope and AmericaNet bring public Wi-Fi to millions of people in São Paulo
The partnership between AmericaNet and CommScope began in 2017 and includes the project Wi-Fi Livre SP in São Paulo, the capital of São Paulo state, which is one of the largest public internet initiatives in Latin America and covers cultural centers, squares, libraries, tourist areas, train stations and parks such as Ibirapuera . In this massive project 1,200 Ruckus access were deployed in about 600 hotspots throughout São Paulo, serving more than two million people per month. Wi-Fi livre SP served as the basis for the infrastructure later adopted in São José dos Campos.
The city of São José dos Campos in the state of São Paulo was the first Brazilian city certified by ABNT (Brazilian Association of Technical Standards) as an Intelligent City , according three international standards. It gained around 700 access points for public internet connections that bring free internet to more than 200,000 people every month.
