Rail travel need not be a boring experience anymore, especially if you are tech-savvy, or can’t do without having access to email or web browsing.
RailTel, the communications arm of the Indian Railways, has recently announced that it is undertaking an intellectual makeover of the 500 railway stations across the country and will be providing Wi-Fi connectivity through Local Area Network (LAN) to railway commuters.
The facility that is till now restricted only to the international airports in the country, will be available in the Bangalore station in three months, and will soon be implemented in 49 other cities, including Pune.
It will enable the Wi-Fi or WiMax-enabled laptop and palmtop users to access internet without any data-cables or wires.
Says Manoj Sinha, senior divisional signal and telecommunication engineer, “Commuters will be able to carry their laptops and palmtops and stay connected with the world even when travelling.”
After the completion of the first phase, more than 500 stations across India will have the Wi-Fi facility. RailTel has already carried out the Wi-Fi connectivity test on a few trains to check out if they can provide the passengers with uninterrupted connectivity even on long distance trains.
