Digital India: Soon you will be able to purchase Wi-Fi data at a kirana store

The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT) has developed a ‘public data office’ (PDO) technology solution to deliver low-cost Wi-Fi solutions. The mass PDO solution is priced at Rs 50,000.

Ever thought you could buy Wi-Fi data from your ‘kirana’ shop? Soon, that would be a possibility.

The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT) has developed a ‘public data office’ (PDO) technology solution to deliver low-cost Wi-Fi solutions. The mass PDO solution is priced at Rs 50,000, says an Economic Times report.

C-DoT is a government-owned telecom research and development centre.

Small stores like local kirana shop – with help of PDO – will be able see Wi-Fi data through vouchers. These vouchers coukld be priced as low as Rs 10 also.

“The concept of PDO will enable even a thelawallah to sell low-cost Wi-Fi-based broadband services anywhere. Even a nearby kirana shop can resell data services for as low as Rs 10 or even less," C-DoT's executive director Vipin Tyagi told ET.

The vendor will get a tech solution pack including both software and hardware elements. It will include a Wi-Fi access point with e-KYC, one-time password authentication and a mechanism to manage service vouchers. A billing system will also accompany the package.

According to the report, the service will be available over a license-free ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) band.

For commercial production of the device, C-DoT plans to transfer the technology to nearly 20 manufacturing partners including Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) and Himachal Futuristic Communications (HFCL).
According to C-DoT, in semi-urban or rural areas, the technology will be available in 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHZ bands, which do not require any regulation for access.

Last month, the telecom regulatory authority of India (TRAI) had asked the Department of Telecom (DoT) to modify the internet service provider (ISP) permit rule and make cheap Wi-Fi devices in line with the government’s Digital India move.

The TRAI had recommended ‘public data offer aggregators’ (PDOAs) for license-free public Wi-Fi services. These could work with small public data officer for penetration of Wi-Fi.

5G Technology Network Launch, Speed, Mobile Phones in Future of India.

Hello Friends,… Why 5G Technology come into news before few days? There are a few reasons behind this 5G technology future in India. Let’s get some interesting facts about Fifth Generation – 5G Technology.

As we all know that India is one of the biggest End-User of electronics and gadgets. India has a biggest electronics consumer market in future also. And Digital India needs more speed of the network, to function lightening fast.

5G Technology Future in Digital India.

So, before going over the technical details of 5G. We are seeing some recent events that really start an initiative for 5G technology in Digital India.

As stated times: Ericsson and Nokia have begun a conversation with the Indian government officials and policy makers to push for regulatory framework around the 5G technology, including identification of relevant spectrum band.

How 5G Technology Works?

At present spectrum band between 700Mhz and 2.6, GHz is available for mobile services in India. Wi-Fi services are generally used between 2.4Ghz to 5.9Ghz.

5G Network requires very high bands, and every telephone companies should have at least 100 Mhz each for 5G. considering what they have in India today. A number of Telephone Companies in matured telecom markets are looking at bands around 3.5Ghz and 4.8GHz.

So, friends for the feasibility of 5G Technology, “Spectrum is the important element for 5G. India has to come up with those rules and terms. They [policymakers] can look around the world and see examples on allocations. It’s important that India gets good allocation of spectrum,”

When 5G Technology Start in India?

In India, many Telephone Companies operators are trying to achieve full-scale 4g networks, and still in process of deploying networks.

They are a focus on urban and semi-urban areas, with expanding their 3G footprints in the Digital India. But, 5G Technology is planning to be completed for first 5g commercial deployment in 2020. Many operators in the US, Korea and Japan are preparing to pilot or trial 5g in 2016 and commercially launch the first 5G technology solution from 2017.

So, we are in hope to start our 5G Network in Digital India in 2020. Hope this will become a landmark year in Digital revolution in India.

Why 5G Technology Needed?

1. 5G Mobile network became a world’s fastest network.
2. The wearable electrical circuit has to work 5G Speed.
3. 5G Will Enable Mobile AR/VR.
4. 5G Technologies Might Be For Future Cities.
5. How fast is 5G? Low latency, high Capacity.

Compare that to the 300Mbit/s currently offered by EE’s LTE-A network, and you’ll see that we’re talking about a 12-fold speed increase over 4G here.

A realistic, nicely rounded final figure for 5G speeds, then, could be in the region of 10Gbps.

When will we see 5G?

Most estimates point to a 2020 initial roll-out for 5G network technology.

So, Wingers what do you think about 5G Technology or 5G network future in Digital India?. 5G Mobile Phones, 5G Wi-Fi and 5G smartphone are going to become our future trends. Technology is need to update every moment and 5G is next step in Spectrum. Have a thought on this, share with us.

30% of Indians Put Info at Risk on Wi-Fi

More than 30% of Indian web clients put their own data at danger of being stolen by means of open Wi-Fi. 

(CCM) — Indian web clients show don't falter to share their own data, for example, charge card subtle elements or messages, on open Wi-Fi — even at the real danger of being stolen. A worldwide overview by Intel Security uncovered that more than 30% of Indian clients get to, review, or share touchy, individual data utilizing open web hotspot. The South Asian nation bested the rundown of 14 nations reviewed for the study, trailed by Mexico (19%) and Brazil (18%).

The consequences of the overview propose that the lion's share of Indians (84%) interface with the web while out of town. "At the same time, they regularly get to and share delicate data without considering the potential digital dangers of unveiling Visa subtle elements, work sends, and individual data on unsecured open Wi-Fi," said Venkat Krishnapur, Head of Intel Security's India Development Center. More than one in three Indians (36%) shared their own information even in the wake of understanding that it could make them powerless. The organization reviewed more than 1,400 individuals in India between the ages of 21 and 54 for this report.
