Mirae (Wi-Fi)

Mirae (Korean: 미래; lit. 'Future') is a North Korean WiFi service that enables mobile devices to access a state-sanctioned intranet network via a separate SIM card named Mirae and an app. Only websites approved by the North Korean authorities can be accessed.

In 2018, it was announced that people could access the national network through the "Mirae public wireless data communications network" smartphone app. Network was first installed on Pyongyang’s Mirae Scientists Street. The network is available at various places in Pyongyang, including Kim Il Sung University, Kim Chaek University of Technology, Yonggwang, Ryomyong, Haebangsan streets and the Sci-Tech Complex.

The use of SIM technology ensures that authorities always maintain tight control on the network. This technology also makes it easier to track individual's online activity. Other than Mirae, there are two cellular networks in the country that also provide wireless data service.
