BSNL Launches Wi-Fi Technology Module For Cars

Indore: In a development which is probably the first of its kind in the country, BSNL's Indore division today launched a Wi-Fi technology module for cars which will enable people to use Internet while they are travelling.

A Wi-Fi technology module which costs around 5000 to 6000 was first installed on an experimental basis in the official car of BSNL Indore unit's General Manager G C Pandey.

Pandey said that this was probably the first model in the country where the car has an antenna which receives Wi-Fi signals with a 3.5 mbps speed, from an exchange based on CDMA technology.

The model is expected be adopted by customers in a big way, once it gains popularity, he said.

A couple of days back, it was however heard that BSNL’s internet capacity had dropped by 21 percent due to multiple fibre cuts in three undersea cable systems. Though immediate comments could not be obtained it was said that preventions were being made to stop disrupting customers.
