It is planned that the connection allows that up to 250 people at the same time can have a connection in a restaurant or bar, and for using this service you have to register on the network Guaifi. Once one is registered, so your laptop, tablet or smartphone connect automatically when entering a premises that is registered in Guaifi center network. And despite of safety concerns in public networks, it is said that this network offers a safe Antihacking- navigation, both for the local and the user. On the website of GuaiFi you find a button (contrataló) application, but don’t worry, this is for the bars and restaurants, as a user you just need to connect the WiFi for your device (laptop, etc.), open your browser and follow the instructions.
