Digital revolution is helping India march towards a digitally connected nation by harnessing

power of technology led innovations. Our citizens are increasingly getting connected via cutting

edge technologies like 4G and WiFi which are helping them in improving and empowering their

lives. As per latest estimates, India has deployed 95,000 public WiFi hotspots thanks to government and

private telco initiatives for boosting broadband connectivity in tourist spots, government of�ices,

educational institutes, health centres, market places, gram panchayats and others. The draft Telecom Policy i.e. the National Digital Communications Policy 2018 talks about

achieving 10 million WiFi hotspots by 2022 through NagarNet and JanWiFi. For achieving this

India has a long way to go as NagarNet project focuses on establishing one million WiFi hotspots in

urban areas whereas JanWiFi is looking at deployment of 2 million WiFi hotspots in rural areas. It is with this objective, DigiAnalysys is organizing the second edition of My India WiFi Summit &

Awards 2018 to be held on 06th September 2018 in New Delhi, India. The one-day event is focused

towards bringing multiple stakeholders - operators, government, vendors, application providers,

enterprise users and allied sectors. Upholding a collaborative approach, the comprehensive

participation will align industry in�luencers from different sectors to explore areas of working in

hand in hand to bridge the digital divide.

KEYINDUSTRYSTATISTICS- For achieving large number of hotspots, TRAI has come out with Public Data Of�ice (PDO)

concept. The vision of this initiative is to establish an Open Architecture based WiFi Access
