About AdelaideFree

For the past 10 years, Internode's CityLan network has played a central role in making Adelaide a leading city for free WiFi network coverage. The new AdelaideFree network expands on this existing network, adding more than 200 additional high-performance outdoor WiFi access points.

The network uses fibre-optic cabling provided by Internode, the Adelaide City Council and the Government of South Australia to transmit data into the Internode network.

The AdelaideFree WiFi network was officially launched at the Adelaide Central Markets on Tuesday 25th June, 2014. Click here to watch a Nine Network News segment about the AdelaideFree WiFi launch.
