The OpenWiFi project, driven by a global base of operators, managed service providers, vendors and industry organizations, makes it easy for vendors to optimize or reduce their R&D spend, specialize in their innovation and offer a new breed of interoperable enterprise-grade Wi-Fi solutions across cloud services and cutting-edge hardware access points. This in turn offers service providers, a greater choice of competitive suppliers from across the globe, to choose from. Together, this new ecosystem driven initiative from TIP will contribute to reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of next generation Wi-Fi networks.
"Our expansion into the Europe marks a milestone moment in the growth of Indio Networks as we introduce our world-class connectivity products and solutions to new audiences," said Indio Networks Chief Executive Officer Mr. Rishikesh Ghare. "We will introduce upgraded connectivity products inline to the European market needs. We also welcome the opportunity to forge new partnerships with partners and companies in Europe as we have done with exceptional success in India, Middle East, Africa and United States."
Indio Networks Europe expansion will be led by newly appointed Director of Sales, Christian Sauer, a Wi-Fi networking technology veteran with experience in opening markets for new connectivity products across the globe. Mr. Sauer will direct the European sales, partnership and strategic alliances.
"Indio Networks is well-poised for explosive growth internationally, and I am excited to lead their expansion efforts," said Mr. Sauer. "Wi-Fi connectivity solutions is a growing category in European market. We have a tremendous opportunity to provide our world-class product line to achieve a leading position and to increase the awareness of Indio Networks in Europe by appointing Channel Partners and win customers in the region. We expect to be fully operational in the Europe in the first quarter of 2022."

Indio Networks has been an active contributor to TIP OpenWiFi community and is soon planning to commercially launch its Cloud Controller, integrated with Indio's family of Wi-Fi access points. Indio's OpenWiFi solution will be fully compatible with any TIP-enabled Wi-Fi access point thus allowing its customers a choice of hardware platform that fits their specifications and budget. They successfully completed lab and field trials using multiple types of TIP-enabled Wi-Fi APs over the last 6 months. The solution is currently deployed at College of Engineering, Pune and is providing seamless connectivity to over 1000 students in the campus. Indio also plans to perform field trials at Western Railway's office in Mumbai, and many more.
Join us for the launch event of TIP OpenWiFi on 12th May 2021 at 08:50pm IST, featuring a global base of many industry experts who will showcase their plans for this new ecosystem-powered approach for connectivity.
Pune, Maharashtra, India: Indio Networks, a homegrown Indian data networking products company, today released a new line of indigenously manufactured, enterprise-grade WiFi Access Points.
Indio’s enterprise-grade Access Points are specially engineered to support various Public WiFi development initiatives like PM-WANI and WiFi Choupal which require latest generation, secure and affordable networking products. Built on patented technology, the access points support high user density and seamless WiFi connectivity in tough Indian conditions. They deliver a throughput of 1267 Mbps and can support 256 users at a time, with advanced security features to ensure that user data is securely transmitted over the WiFi connection.

With simple Plug-n-Play, the Access Points can be deployed by anyone, without requiring technical know-how of complex RF and WiFi technology. Optimized for video streaming, people can seamlessly perform audio/video calls, online presentations and office work over WiFi.

In an effort to liberate the connectivity sector in India, the Government of India has launched an initiative under the name PM – WANI or PM – WiFi Access Network Interface to set up public WiFi hotspots across India to enable pervasive connectivity,’ease of living’ and last mile connectivity. The entire WiFi network would be set up by PDOAs (Public Data Office Aggregators), and PDOs (Public Data Offices). PDOs will be similar to PCOs (Public Call Office), where users can come around and access the internet based on a pay-per-use model. Users might be charged anywhere between Rupees 2 per 100 Megabytes of internet to Rupees 20 per 1 Gigabyte of internet, the validity of the voucher or ticket is said to be 24 hours.
