For the first time in Ireland, certain venues and businesses that provide free public WiFi will have the opportunity to display the “Friendly WiFi” symbol which is awarded by Friendly WiFi Ireland, the accreditation body that promotes safe public WiFi for young people.

The first venues and businesses that will have the option of being recognised by Friendly WiFi Ireland, which has developed the friendly WiFi scheme, will be those using the MyPlace Connect WiFi network.

The “Friendly WiFi” symbol will be an optional extra which venues that are supported by MyPlace Connect can avail of.

Peadar Gormley, the CEO and Founder of MyPlace Connect, Ireland’s largest free WiFi network provider, said: “There has been a recent increase in demand from certain venues on our network that are primarily family orientated, like resort hotels and shopping centres, who want to ensure their customers’ needs are fully catered for, including providing WiFi that the whole family can enjoy. Given the recent rise in the use of smartphones and iPads among children and young people who rely on free public WiFi, for these business it is a significant selling point to be able to display the “Friendly WiFi” symbol awarded by Friendly WiFi Ireland, as it provides parents with peace of mind.”
