New Delhi: Delhi Metro has introduced the facility of free high-speed wifi service from all Metro stations of its Yellow Line. In a press statement, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) noted that the Wi-Fi service is launched on the Yellow Line which consists of 37 Metro stations and runs mostly underground through one of the most congested parts of Delhi covering outer Delhi, north Delhi through central Delhi and south Delhi and finally Gurugram. Over 330 access points have been installed at these 37 stations to provide uninterrupted internet access to the commuters.
This High-Speed Free Wi-Fi Service aims to help students travelling to and from North Delhi Campus of Delhi University. Passengers can access standard internet applications like Email, Facebook, Google Search, WhatsApp, Video, and Audio calls by logging into network ID “OUI DMRC FREE Wi-Fi.” To access free WiFI at the metro stations, passengers will be required to select “OUI DMRC FREE WIFI” on their phones. The next step is to enter their phone number and email ID to get OTP by SMS. Once they have received the OTP, they should enter it, accept terms and conditions and tap the connect button to get access to free Wi-fi. However, users should be wary of using public networks as they are not always secure.
The OUI DMRC free high-speed WiFi connectivity is available on all stations of the Blue Line and Airport Express line which consists of 50 metro stations where over 400 access points are placed by DMRC to provide uninterpreted internet access whereas, Airport Express Line (New Delhi Railway Station to Dwarka Sector 21, linking Indira Gandhi International Airport) consisting of six stations has been provided with over 50 access points to provide uninterpreted internet access.
With the launch of High-Speed WI-Fi at all stations of Yellow Line, Oui DMRC Free WI-Fi is now available at 94 stations of the Delhi Metro Network. This Free Wi-Fi service is being provided by a Consortium led by M/S Techno Sat Comm. DMRC in association with Techno Sat Comm is striving to introduce this facility inside Metro trains apart from providing free WiFi at the Metro stations across its network. Upgrading and installing the desired access points is quite a challenging task in already operational trains. DMRC on a trial basis had introduced free wifi service in the trains of its Airport Line, which were suspended due to Covid induced constraints in 2020 and are now in the process of being restored within the next 10-15 days.
