FON on Queens Road Central, Hong Kong

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Fresh off the heels of the announcement we went to see if FON really works in McDonalds in the busy Central district on Queens Road right at the financial district next to the Bossini, Giordano and of course McDonald shop.

I take out my Wireless Device and……………..

The FON_FreeWiFi signal is shown, very cool, also tested the Signal strength on the street level.

The signal strength is not bad, not fantastic but I still get a Tx Rate of 54 Mbps.

and here is the FON captive portal, I login and it works although there is a bit of weirdness I’m on the Internet browsing! Well done, on the path to WiFi’ing up the City for free!

FON now in Starbucks and Mcdonalds!

Geek or Freak?

This month we’re introducing Nina from FON Japan. Nina is half Japanese, half American, and the perfect combination for FON in Japan. While North Americans celebrate Thanksgiving this month, Nina has her own Japaneses thanksgiving ritual each morning at our Tokyo office. Is it a coincidence that the Movimiento is spreading so quickly across the land of the rising sun or does WiFi run on faith? Is Nina a Geek, Freak, or a Fonero Spiritualist?

  1. Geek
