The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority is upgrading the Wi-Fi system at the Charlotte Convention Center. The tourism group says the effort is aimed at keeping the uptown venue competitive and attractive to meeting planners.
The CRVA said Monday that as part of a two-phase investment in the venue’s connectivity, it has expanded complimentary access of its Wi-Fi – previously only available in public areas – to include meeting rooms and ballrooms. The group has also tripled the download/upload speed in all areas.
