Tata Teleservices, NDMC to launch Wi-Fi service in Connaught Place on November 16

NEW DELHI: Tata Docomo, the unified telecom brand of Tata Teleservices, said on Friday that it will launch public Wi-Fi access at Connaught Place in the capital on November 16, in association with New Delhi Municipal Council ( NDMC), taking a cue from Prime Minister Narendra Modi smart city vision.

Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung will launch the Wi-Fi services in the Central Park of Connaught Place at 3:30 pm, the company said in a statement.

The WI-Fi hotspot will cover more than 4.5 sq. km around the Connaught Place area and will ensure seamless connectivity in the inner and outer circles of one of the most significant business and leisure centres in the city.

Tata Docomo said that the Wi-Fi deployment in Connaught Place is one of the most complex installations in the Wi-Fi services portfolio of the company.

The Wi-Fi hotspot is supported by the company’s wholly-owned national fibre backbone.

In addition to infrastructure, Tata Docomo delivers support services, security and a range of revenue models and value-added services to support these Wi-Fi zones in anticipation of the exponential growth of Internet usage on the back of year-on-year doubling of smartphone devices in India, the company said in the statement.
