Romanian telecom operator RCS&RDS currently provides 2,400 Wi-Fi hotspots across Romania, through its Digi Wi-Fi service, according to the company.

“Digi Wi-Fi is the only wireless internet network of this size in Romania, most of the other networks do not have over 100 hotspots. From 2011 until now, the Wi-Fi network has grown by five times - the number of hotspots first installed was 500. We will continue to expand the network at a similar pace,” said Valentin Popoviciu, Development Manager, RCS&RDS.

The telecom operator recently provided a new way clients can connect to the Digi Wi-Fi service: by selecting the Digi Wi-Fi Direct Login network, the subscribers are automatically reconnected after the first entry in the network, depending on the terminal and its settings, according to RCS&RDS.

RCS&RDS, controlled by Romanian businessman Zoltan Teszari, was created 15 years ago and operates on the Romanian market, as well as in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Spain and Italy. It offers cable TV, internet, fixed and mobile telephony services in 200 cities in Romania.
