[nitin_k]

Indore: In a development which is probably the first of its kind in the country, BSNL's Indore division on Wednesday 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 Rs 5000 to Rs 6000 was first installed on an experimental basis in the official car of BSNL Indore unit's General Manager GC 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.

Imagine of such service provided across India. Similar to mobile networks, if you go out of your network circle, you get into other providers network and you have Wi-Fi day in day out any where.

If this really works this will be boon to IT folks in Bangalore. If installed in company buses people can log in to office work as soon as they board the bus.

Usually people spend 1+ hours traveling each way to and from office here.
