Want to get caught up on e-mails or surf the Internet while waiting in the airport? As of this month, Montreal’s Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport offers free wireless signal for all airport computer users.
Throughout the terminal, whether in a public area or restricted areas (international zone, cross-border or domestic), travellers can now access a free wi-fi signal, allowing them to connect to the Web using a computer or portable device.
The network is called AERO wireless broadband and to use it, travellers can just open their browser and accept the terms and conditions that are automatically displayed on the screen.
Although this new service is available across the terminal all day, each session is limited to 60 minutes. After this time period, it will automatically disconnect, at which time the user can reconnect. In that way, it’s hoped to help reduce the use of bandwidth for downloading large files.
