The CM Free Wi-Fi Service has been expanded across Punjab. According to the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA), the network now covers 442 locations in Lahore alone, where more than 58 million users have used approximately 1191 terabytes of data.
In addition to Lahore, the service is active in 23 districts of Punjab, providing free internet at 952 public sites. These include key urban centers and important public locations where residents frequently require internet access.
The government has also announced the rollout of free Wi-Fi in 450 women’s government colleges across Punjab. Officials explained that the service in colleges is intended to improve access to educational resources, enhance safety for female students, and ensure they can reach emergency services without delay.
Recent upgrades also include the deployment of Wi-Fi 6 technology, which offers faster speeds, reduced delays, and better performance in crowded areas.
Authorities have clarified that the free Wi-Fi service is primarily for essential and emergency use, such as education, communication, and access to government services. It is not designed for video streaming or entertainment purposes. Content filtering and usage management tools have been implemented to ensure responsible network use.
By extending internet access to urban centers, public areas, and educational institutions, the government aims to reduce the digital divide, support learning, and strengthen public safety infrastructure.
