PUNE: After
bringing millions of Indians online with its RailTel Wi-Fi project, Google, in
partnership with Larsen & Toubro, on Wednesday announced that the company
has installed 150 "Google Station" hotspots in Pune.
The development is part of the Pune Smart City Development
Corporation Limited's "Smart City" project and this is the first time
that the company is deploying "Google Station" - a localised captive
portal that enables the connection to public Wi-Fi - outside of the railways. "We
built Google Station to be both the highest-quality and easiest Wi-Fi service
for users and the easiest for partners to deploy.
We think this makes 'Station' a great connectivity partner for
the growing number of Indian smart cities," Vinay Goel, Product Management
Director of Google Station, said in a statement. The company said the move
would potentially bring three million Pune residents online within seconds at
locations all around the city, including gardens, hospitals and police
stations.
Nearly, 7.7 million users benefited at over 270 railway
stations through Google's RailTel Wi-Fi project last year. Google launched its
first free Wi-Fi services at Mumbai Central station in January 2016. The
company said it would continue to deploy high-speed Wi-Fi at more stations
across the country.
