Public Wi-Fi plan ‘PM Wani’ gets cabinet approval. Wi-Fi ACCESS NETWORK INTERFACE (WANI) : The proliferation of broadband across the length and breadth of the country is an essential ingredient of Digital India. Towards this objective, it is envisaged to leverage public Wi-Fi network for the delivery of broadband services . This is sought to be facilitated by rolling out WANI infrastructure with the broadband services being provided under distributed architecture and unbundling of infrastructure to improve performance by different players under the WANI ecosystem. While delivery of broadband is possible through different media and technologies, under the WANI framework, it is envisaged that last-mile broadband connectivity , where the consumer accesses broadband services, will be through a network of public Wi-Fi access points .
