Delhi Metro commuters will soon experience uninterrupted high-speed Internet connectivity, even when traveling underground. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has signed an agreement with Beckhaul Digital Technologies Private Limited to install and maintain an advanced fiber optic network along Metro routes.
Massive Infrastructure Rollout
The project involves laying 700 km of fiber optic cables across all Metro corridors, including the Airport Express Line. This extensive network will serve as the backbone for high-speed connectivity, benefitting commuters, telecom providers, data centers, and smart city initiatives.
Phased Implementation
The implementation will take place in phases, with the Pink and Magenta Lines being the first to go live within a month. A DMRC official confirmed that the entire network is expected to be operational within six months. The fiber optic network will provide connectivity to Internet service providers, ensuring seamless access for Metro users.
Boost for Smart City Initiatives
Apart from enhancing commuter experience, the network will also support smart city projects by providing high-speed data transfer capabilities. Telecom operators and Internet service providers will benefit from improved connectivity, leading to better mobile network coverage in underground Metro stations and tunnels.
Transforming Delhi Metro Experience
Currently, passengers face connectivity issues when traveling through underground Metro sections. This upgrade will eliminate disruptions, allowing commuters to browse, stream, and work without interruptions. As Delhi Metro expands its technological capabilities, the initiative is expected to set new standards for urban public transport connectivity.
The introduction of high-speed Internet will revolutionize daily commutes, making Delhi Metro more commuter-friendly and technologically advanced.
