As part of the Launceston City Heart Project, 50 new wireless access points are now being rolled out across Launceston.
City Park, Princes Square and much wider areas of the central business district will have access to the free network.
Launceston acting mayor Danny Gibson said the new service operated at faster speeds and without time restrictions.
"It's going to expand the network significantly. We already have a network that is well received," he said.
"The community have been asking for this, so has our tourism industry."

A portal page will appear, and once the terms and conditions have been accepted, users can click get online.
The service is currently available at QVMAG, the Launceston Leisure and Aquatic Centre, the Brisbane St Mall, Quadrant Mall and Civic Square.
More locations will be brought online in coming months.
