Cricket fans will enjoy free Wi-Fi services at six cricket stadiums during the upcoming T20 World Cup matches in India.
The free Wi-Fi service will be available at stadiums in Bangalore, Dharmashala, Kolkata, Mohali, New Delhi and Mumbai.
The service provider has fixed a certain range to allow only spectators inside these stadiums to have access.
There are more than 600 Wi-Fi access points scattered across each stadium to ensure proper coverage in every corner of the arena, while Eden Gardens in Kolkata has 1101 access points, which is understandable given the sheer size of the stadium and the seating capacity of 68,000, Cricket Country reported.
“We supported connectivity for about 30,000 people in Mumbai. At any given point, 20,000 people were continuously connected through Wi-Fi. It was delivering speed of 15-35 megabit per second,” the spokesperson for the internet providers was quoted as saying.
