BANGALORE:
The Karnataka government on Friday launched free Wi-Fi connectivity in six
commercial hotspots in Bangalore. This is said to be the first free, public
Wi-Fi service of its kind in India. Some airports and confined retail spaces
offer free Wi-Fi. The service will be extended to 10-15 more locations over the
next few months.
Public Wi-Fi
will enable you to access the internet on your mobile devices even when you are
on the road. You then do not need a 2G or 3G connection.
Many
applications can be built using free public Wi-Fi. Bangalore is looking at
using it for high-definition traffic surveillance, and parking management.
Cameras have already been installed at Wi-Fi hotspots, and you can view the
traffic conditions on those roads. There are plans to install sensors on road
sides, which will then help people to use mobile devices to know where parking
is available.
At these six
spots, one can access Internet at a speed of up to 512kbps and the usage will
be limited to three hours per day or up to 50MB data.
