“The initiative aims to support Abu Dhabi’s smart city development project and advance its digital infrastructure,” it said in a statement shared by Abu Dhabi Media Office.
The initiative aims to provide free internet coverage at various locations, including public parks – 19 in Abu Dhabi, 11 in Al Ain, and 14 in the Al-Dhafra Region – and will soon be available at the Abu Dhabi Corniche beach and Al-Bateen beach.
