Thanks very much to Jane Akshar for the information, on the above page, that wireless broadband is now available via a scratch-card system to both residents and tourists in Luxor.
TE Data rolled-out its wireless network in Luxor in June 2007. The network consists of a base-station providing the backhaul to TE Data’s national IP network, and 16 outdoor WiFi access points providing the wireless access to the city’s visitors. The wireless coverage spans a 5 Kilometers distance by the river side, where there’s a high concentration of hotels, Nile cruise ships, and café’s in addition to Luxor and Al-Karnak temples and the Luxor main train station.
In its effort to address all potential users’ inquiries TE Data has launched a multi-lingual portal to support the service and guide first time users. Flyers and other collaterals that highlight the covered areas and the service pricing were also produced and are available through out the Luxor tourist areas.
The service, Scratch-Card based, is sold in two denominations. Tourists can choose between a daily access card and an hourly access card depending on their need or preference.
See the above page for the entire press release.
