Salvador City Hall
Every summer, thousands of tourists flock to Salvador to enjoy its gorgeous natural attractions and its world-renowned festivities, namely its six-day Carnival. To continue to support the massive influx of visitors, the city recently decided to strengthen its IT infrastructure. As part of a major digital innovation (DI) initiative called “Conecta Salvador,” Salvador teamed with Fortinet to offer free and secure Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the city’s main neighborhoods. Now, tens of thousands of people can enjoy free and safe Wi-Fi via 100 FortiAP access points placed in 20 areas. The Fortinet solution is also a boon to the local economy, helping taxi drivers, street vendors, and local shops increase their sales and improve their customer service.
