Worldlink Wi-Fi Hotspot & Facebook Express Wi-Fi

WorldLink Communications has been providing Free Wi-Fi in public places where users can use Wi-Fi hotspot service in various locations all over Nepal irrespective of their ability to pay or not. This service has been helpful in extending the reach of the internet. As of Ashad 2077, the Mobile broadband penetration rate of Nepal is 55.3% according to WorldLink.

Initially, Facebook’s Express Wi-Fi was introduced to boost the rural area connectivity under the WorldLink’s public Wi-Fi platform. It helped to provide free public wifi in remote places like Halseshi Mahadev, Rasuwagadhi, and etc without paying any cost using WorldLink’s Network.

After the successful implementation of Express Wi-Fi in rural areas, WorldLink converted existing hotspot locations in urban areas to Express-Wi-Fi as well.
