Wi-Fi news from Indio Networks

Indio Networks is proud to launch the much awaited it’s WiFi Service Management Platform for managing Community WiFi hotspots at Africacom 2022 in Cape Town on 8th November 2022. The new platform offers satellite broadband operators, ISPs and managed service providers a fully integrated, next-generation platform for centrally managing all their community WiFi deployments. The platform mimics several features offered by Facebook’s ExpressWiFi platform that was widely popular among the ISPs and satellite broadband operators all over the world.

Access to the Internet is becoming the fundamental right of every citizen of the World. It is widely accepted fact that 21st century is going to be a knowledge and digital century and Internet access will ensure democratization of knowledge and opportunities. This is especially true for developing and less developed economies who are investing in building digital infrastructure for their citizen. 

Over last decade, Meta (formerly Facebook) has worked on many projects worldwide to bridge the digital divide and connecting the unconnected. With this intent, it launched its ExpressWiFi program to help operators build digital infrastructure in remote regions of the world. The program provided WiFi infrastructure and technology to operators and Internet service providers to deploy community WiFi hotspots worldwide. The main goal of this project was to bring Internet access to far flung regions of the world and offer affordable, reliable and fast Internet to the people living in these regions.

In early 2022, Meta decided to wind down the ExpressWiFi program and focus on other important projects. It meant that the service providers who used Express WiFi platform had to find an alternative solution to continue their services. Indio Networks decided to take up this responsibility and offer a fully integrated Service Management Platform (SMP) for managing remotely Community WiFi deployments.

Commenting on the launch of the new platform, Indio Network’s CEO Mr. Rishi Ghare said “We believes that Internet access is a fundamental right of every citizen and WiFi hotspot is the best last mile technology to offer fast, reliable and affordable Internet service to the remote regions. Indio is really proud to partner with leading ISPs and satellite broadband operators to bring affordable Internet services to far regions of the world.  Every time when a child learns, doctor treats a patient, families communicate with each other or a local entrepreneur builds successful business using our WiFi hotspots, it gives a great deal of satisfaction and accomplishment to us. Indio is looking to partner with operators worldwide to replicate this success stories.” 

Indio’s community WiFi platform (Indio Connect) currently serves over 2500 remote villages in South Amercia, Africa and Asia. It expects the deployments to double by end of next year. For more information, please visit www.indionetworks.com
