About BWP Free WiFi
BWP Free WiFi uses the existing wireless technology powering BWP’s modern and secure wireless metering for water and electricity. It is just another benefit to the citizens of Burbank who are customer-owners of their community owned municipal utility.
There are approximately 400 WiFi transmitters throughout Burbank capable of supporting about 10,000 connections at one time. Signal strength decreases the farther away you are from a transmitter and natural or constructed obstacles may block WiFi signals in some locations. Some areas may receive more traffic and experience slower response times.
BWP’s Free WiFi is not encrypted and private information such as credit card, bank or personal information should not be transmitted over BWP’s Free WiFi without taking precautions.
All you need to use the network is a WiFi-enabled device equipped with a browser. Internet browsers include Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
BWP Free WiFi is 802.11b/g/n compatible.
