Google Station aims to bring reliable, fast WiFi to more public locations

Google has recently launched a service called Google Station, with the intent of bringing fast WiFi Internet connectivity to public locations.

Earlier this year, the search giant partnered with Railtel and the Indian Railways to bring broadband WiFi Internet access to several railway stations across the country. The project has since successfully deployed fast Internet access to numerous railway stations in the major metros as well as in numerous smaller towns. With the new Google Station platform, they are now extending this access to broadband across other public locations such as malls, tourist areas and more. Via their partner program, anyone who wants to be a part of this drive to bring broader Internet access to the masses can sign up and access their toolkit of services for enabling deployment.

According to the Google blog, they describe this services as such: “So today we’re announcing Google Station, which gives partners an easy set of tools to roll-out Wi-Fi hotspots in public places. Google Station will provide software and guidance on hardware to turn fiber connections into fast, reliable and safe Wi-Fi zones. Users will get a fast Wi-Fi experience with a simple and unified login, while making it much easier for venues to manage their networks.”
