VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) announced Dec. 6 that customers can now stay connected and even check their email when shopping the NEX thanks to free Wi-Fi services being provided at more than 50 selling locations worldwide.

"The landscape of retail is changing and more customers are using their smartphones to shop, find product information and even product reviews," said Richard Dow, NEXCOM senior vice president, Store Operations. "Offering free Wi-Fi is another customer service we provide as part of the NEX shopping experience."

One of the locations that features free Wi-Fi is NEX Norfolk, Va. According to the NEX General Manager, Tom Jacobsen, free Wi-Fi is a service the NEX is happy to provide its customers. "Whether our customers use our Wi-Fi for price comparison, shopping the NEX web store or simply browsing the Internet, it is a service they deserve," said Jacobsen. "Providing free Wi-Fi is another example of the NEX putting our Sailors first and our commitment to enhancing the time they spend in the store."

NEX locations offering the service will have "Wi-Fi On Board" signing prominently displayed.
