The free service will be available for a maximum of half an hour per person. The aim is to provide relief to devotees who are unable to contact their homes due to a lack of network. In the first phase, there will be a total of 15 Wi-Fi spots at Nadapanthal, Thirumuttam, Sannidhanam, Malikappuram, Aravana counters in Malikappuram, Maramath complex and hospitals.
Currently, an optical fiber cable has been installed from Pampa Exchange to Sannidhanam, passing through Neelimala, Appachimedu, Saramkuthi, and Marakutam. This development enables BSNL to rapidly establish the infrastructure for a new Wi-Fi project. The implementation will utilize high-quality ADSL cables.
