Free WiFi Service Launched By Delhi Metro

New Delhi: For the first time in the country, ‘High-speed WiFi internet services’ were launched on the Airport Express Line of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation today. With this, India became the fourth country after Russia, South Korea and China to launch high-speed WiFi facility in the metros.

”Passengers will now be able to access the free WiFi simply by logging into the network with the name ‘METROWIFI_FREE’. It has 2 Mbps speed with unlimited usage,” the DMRC said.

This is for the first time in India that the free Wi-Fi facility on moving Metro Trains has been inaugurated. Delhi Metro currently provides Wi-Fi facility at many of its major stations, including those on yellow and blue lines.

After launching the facility, Dr Mangu Singh, Managing Director of DMRC, said, “Internet connectivity is very important. Although we have WiFi in stations and now this seamless continuous connectivity is a significant step. It is challenging especially because providing WiFi in a moving vehicle is very difficult.”

In addition, Mangu said, “The work has already started in all the six lines except the new ones.
