KOCHI: Kerala's major cities are all set to become wi-fi with the BSNL’s WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) service getting ready to be launched by the end of March, enabling access to internet anywhere.

This will enable the customers to use internet at a speed of 2 mbps anywhere in Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kozhikode and Thrissur districts.

BSNL has completed a survey and adopted a plan of action for providing the service.

The study of radio waves and various frequencies has been completed.

The results are encouraging and the entire state will be wi-fi soon.

The city limits of the four districts will be covered first.

Later it will be extended to other parts of the districts.

Corporate offices and people who are travelling will benefit the most since the users can do away with cabling for accessing the internet.

BSNL Ernakulam principal general manager M Haridas said that the initial benefits are for those who want to use internet while travelling.

There is no need for a modem and any computer which has the facility for accessing the wi-fi can use the new facility.

The WiMax system will be installed in all the BSNL mobile towers so that the wi-fi service will be available in all the parts of the state which have mobile connectivity.

According to Haridas, the existing users and the new customers can avail themselves of the facility as technology for broadband now used by the BSNL customers and wi-fi is different. The BSNL is yet to come out with the tariffs for the wi-fi system.

However, there will be pre-paid and post-paid options for the customers.

At present, the BSNL broadband is available for those having land phone connection or USP portal.

With the introduction of the new facility, customers can access the internet without a land phone connection or USP portal.

Almost 30 times faster than 3G, the WiMax can support data speeds of up to 70 mbps, against 3G’s 380 kbps to 2 mbps.

Don't know ? It's not going to do much good for me as I don't have a laptop or other Wi-Fi gadgets now. But if this is going to decrease the Broadband tariff, then it's something. Like 1 or 2 Mbps Unlimited plan.
Too bad it's not going to be available in Kottayam right away. May take sometime to reach here.

Same with me. I was planing to buy a wireless adapter to move the Computer to a different room. But I also need a to get a Wireless modem for that. So changed my mind. But if the tariff plan of Wi-Max is catchy then I will take a look.

Is it the signal to decrease Wired broadband tariff and introduction of new UL plans by the end of March ?
