MUMBAI: Dharamshala & Mcleodganj have become the first hill stations in Himachal Pradesh to have Reliance Jio’s Wi-Fi service - JIOnet.

 

Minister of Housing, urban development and town & country planning of Himachal Pradesh Sudhir Mishra inaugurated the service. JIOnet's high speed Wi-Fi service will cover Macleo Chowk and Temple road in Mcleodganj and Kotwali in Dharamshala of Himachal Pradesh.

 

It is part of the Himachal Pradesh government’s initiative to convert Dharamshala into a ‘Smart City.’ People and visitors of Dharamshala and Mcleodganj will be able to access the services on their smart phones and tablets. This service will also be available at Mall Road, Manali, Kullu and Hamirpur locations.

 

Speaking on this new advancement, a Reliance Jio spokesperson said, “High speed data connectivity is one of the foundations on which future prosperity of cities and nations will be built. By deploying Jionet’ Wi-Fi services at Dharamshala and Mcleodganj, a famous tourist destination, we want people to experience the high speed internet and rich digital content through specially designed apps to enrich their lives.”

 

The feedback from users will be used to improve the services further as Jio gets ready for its formal launch. After commencement of service,  4G LTE, Wi-Fi and LTE networks will operate seamlessly with each other.
