STONNINGTON'S iconic Jam Factory will introduce free wi-fi next week - in time for the school holidays.
Jam Factory's centre manager Leigh Regan said the free wi-fi, which goes live on September 24 as part of the centre's $20 million redevelopment, would be a "great asset" to the area.
He said it would be 10-15 times faster than the 3G network, there would be no need to sign up and people could access it inside the Jam Factory and up to 100m surrounding the building.
"The Jam Factory will be the only shopping centre in the Stonnington area to provide premium wi-fi facilities to visitors, making it a major drawcard to local workers, students and residents at no cost," Mr Regan said.
"Free wi-fi allows workers to conduct meetings over lunch, and provides students an alternative location to study."
