Hyprop launches free, high-speed Wi-Fi across local portfolio

Tuesday, 8 December 2020. In its quest to embrace the shift towards online retail, adapting to changes in shopper behaviour and the ongoing repositioning of the company's local assets, Hyprop is launching high-speed carrier-grade Wi-Fi in all nine properties this week.

Wi-Fi and connectivity are integral to Hyprop's broader digital innovation strategy to ensure that the Company remains at the forefront of digital developments across the retail landscape and abreast of digital best practice. To this end, Hyprop took the strategic decision to own its Wi-Fi infrastructure. Shoppers will now have access to high-speed uncapped connectivity, allowing them to connect and transact while visiting the malls.

"Rolling out Wi-Fi across our local portfolio forms the cornerstone of our 'digital first' approach. Our Wi-Fi offering is free, uncapped and a carrier-grade service with a fair use policy for all our shoppers. We are looking forward to welcoming all customers as part of our Hyprop community to connect in a safe environment whilst experiencing all our malls have to offer," commented CEO, Morné Wilken.
