Δfree wireless Internet will now be available to visitors of very important archeological sites, in the context of the cooperation of the Ministry of Culture and Sports with the COSMOTE for the provision of free WiFi in large archeological sites and museums of Greece.

THE COSMOTE already offers free wireless broadband services in thirteen places of cultural interest, while it continues to build infrastructure in other areas, with the total investment of the company exceeding 3 million euros.




Free access to broadband network in archeological sites and museums enables visitors to easily search for information about the monuments, to share their experience via the internet and social networks, but also to the competent cultural institutions to develop new ways of guided and hosted joint.

A meeting was held today at the Ministry of Culture between the Minister of Culture and Sports to sign the extension of the memorandum of cooperation. Mrs. Lina Mendoni, and the President and CEO of OTE Group, Mr. Michalis Tsamaz, during which were discussed, in addition to the cooperation and the implementation of the projects, the possibilities offered by technology for the promotion of our cultural heritage.

As stated by Mr. Mendoni,

I would like to thank Mr. Tsamas personally and in person all the collaborators and those involved in this great program of sponsorship in kind on behalf of the OTE Group for the provision of WiFi network in our important Archaeological sites and Museums. This program started some years ago, but at the moment it is being upgraded and expanded to 25 points of high cultural and historical interest. I will convey the spirit of the discussion that took place at the Central Archaeological Council a few months ago when he had to give his opinion on the specific offer of the company in order to reach today the day of the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation.

An upgraded environment is created that will offer a different, even better experience for the thousands of Greeks and foreign visitors. With WiFi in the archeological sites we will provide them with digital services. It is important for the Services of the Ministry because through the infrastructure offered by OTE, we can implement various services of telemetry, remote sensing and even the extension of the electronic ticket, which in any case the Ministry and the competent Organization for Management and Development of Cultural Resources have designed and is in progress.

For this I really thank on behalf of all of us, my associates and the Services of the Ministry the company and Mr. Tsamaz for their offer. It is extremely essential because it strengthens the ways of protecting the country's cultural stock, promotes Greek culture, promotes its extroversion, supports the modern services that the Greek state must offer to its visitors.

The President and CEO of OTE Group Mr. Michalis Tsamaz said:

Our cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Sports, allows us to use technology to highlight our cultural heritage and multiply the impact of our history. With the new generation network infrastructure and free internet, we send image and sound of the most important monuments around the world, enhancing the image of modern digital Greece.

At COSMOTE, we support our culture and history, because their knowledge is a compass for the future. Only if we know our roots can we know where we are going. By having a positive impact on society, the economy and the environment, we are creating a better world for all.
