📋 Tender Overview
“Public WiFi networks are one of the lifelines of our time and are now more than ever a 'gateway to the digital world' in everyday life. With the BayernWLAN initiative, the Free State is equipping town halls, sights, universities, public transport buses and much more in public spaces with free and secure WiFi. In December 2023 we have now broken the mark of 45,000 hotspots across Bavaria! We have more than doubled our original target of 20,000 hotspots. This shows: We are taking the expansion of the comprehensive digital infrastructure in Bavaria seriously and are thus making a further significant contribution to equal living conditions in the city, the country and all regions of Bavaria!” says Finance and Home Affairs Minister Albert Füracker happily on the occasion of the milestone achieved.
The Free State of Bavaria is continually expanding its free WiFi network. The aim is to provide all citizens with an open, free and secure WiFi offer. With its BayernWLAN offer, the Free State is a frontrunner among the large states in Germany. Across Bavaria, up to 12.5 million accesses are registered every month and around 2,300 terabytes of data are transferred. Getting started with the free BayernWLAN is easy and practical: every hotspot is named “@BayernWLAN”. No passwords or login details are required, registration is not necessary. The BayernWLAN is available around the clock and – not only thanks to its current child protection filter – is also up to date in terms of security.
