Botswana Fibre Networks (BoFiNet) has connected the National Stadium in Gaborone and Francistown Sports Complex with Wi-Fi.
According to a press release from BoFiNet, this is part of the BOT50 celebrations that will culminate with independence eve activities and independence day celebrations on September 30.
 It says in addition to connecting the two stadiums, all hotspots will be free from 6am to 11:59 pm on September 29 to 30.  
“The whole purpose of these connections is to enhance the experience of those who will be at the two facilities for the country’s golden jubilee of independence, providing high capacity Wi-Fi to enable revellers and Botswana’s well-wishers to stay connected to the various platforms of interaction, including the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram,” it says.
The release further states that it is in this regard that they will be able to share their experience with the rest of the world.  
It explains that the  Wi-Fi,which will appear as BOT50 HOTSPOT on devices, will provide good coverage within the parameters of the stadiums allowing users to connect to a speed of 2Mbps when the stadiums are at full capacity.  
BoFiNet encourages future partnerships between events organisers and internet service providers to enhance the experience of events in the country. ENDS
