通用Wi-Fi品牌

- 連通城市連繫你我 -

(34)

• 由政府與Wi-Fi營辦商、公私營機構共同協作，透過一個通用的Wi-Fi品牌「Wi-Fi.HK」，方便市民和旅客使用免費公共Wi-Fi服務。

• 鼓勵學校參與計劃，讓訪客、家長及嘉賓到訪學校時，無須登記，免費使用Wi-Fi服務。

• 無須在全校提供「Wi-Fi.HK」服務，可選擇在已計劃裝設Wi-Fi地點如接待處、

禮堂、會議室等地方，讓服務供應商同時提供Wi-Fi.HK服務。

(35)

學校提供「 Wi-Fi.HK」

• 服務由服務供應商提供，學校無須為服務付費

• 自願性質。服務供應商是否提供服務，應不影響其投標建議書的評分

• 在用戶要求文件中，提供Wi-Fi.HK覆蓋資料，可考慮覆蓋範圍包括家長及嘉賓通常逗留地點如接待處、禮堂、會議室等地方。

3. Wi-Fi.HK Service

Wi-Fi coverage area of Wi-Fi.HK : (To be specified by School).

Will you provide free Wi-Fi.HK service

(Y/N) ? Y/N (to be input by Contractor)

( 以上表格可見於「用戶要求範本」第22頁 )

(36)

• 實際Wi-Fi.HK覆蓋點可於安裝系統時與服務供應商詳細落實。

• 學校附近收到學校的Wi-Fi.HK訊號並不構成影響。

• 建議網絡名稱 (SSID)為「Wi-Fi.HK via <服務供應商特定名稱 > 」。如以學校為名，如「 Wi-Fi.HK via abc- school」)，可與服務供應商商議，並需留意學校可能需向通訊事務管理局辦公室登記熱點。
