It is learnt that China Telecom will construct the District into a "wireless city" in three phases. And the District's infrastructure construction of the "wireless city", covering all key regions, will be accomplished in three years and be applied to social public service and management, e-government and enterprise informatization. Thus, the project will provide mature wireless application service and powerful communication guarantee for the 2010 Shanghai Expo. Wireless technology will be initially applied to some social public hotspots, business tourism centers and government service sites in 2008. On the basis of the Phase 1, the construction will be expanded upon optimization of network and application. From 2009 to 2010, the Phase 2 and Phase 3 will expand wireless coverage in other major areas, such as trunk roads in the town proper, bus bays, rest areas for tourism scenic spots, suburb modern service centers in Zhaoxiang, New Hongqiao Business Region in Xujing. All these hotspots shall be connected to form a large-scale one, to realize effective wireless coverage of the whole District and provide all-round wireless broadband service for the World Expo.

At that time, through "wireless city" network, citizens can enjoy the convenience of the information age by timely accessing to free public information issued by the government. In the near future, the citizens can go surfing wirelessly through the broadband at any time and any place, such as in the entertainment places, hotels and restaurants, tourism scenic spots, park greenbelt, shopping malls, transportation hubs, conference centers, and service windows. Just as the popularization of laptops liberates people from wires, the construction of the "wireless city" frees people from cables.
