NEW DELHI: Railway stations<\/a> may be the next cyber cafes<\/a> of small-town India. Unlike in big cities where broadband access is more plentiful, people from India's smaller towns are finding that walking into a railway station is a gateway to high-speed Internet<\/a> access, and they are making the best use of it. 火车站可能成为下一个网吧的印度小镇。不像在大城市宽带接入更丰富,来自印度的小城镇的人们发现走进火车站是一个通向高速互联网接入,他们最好的利用它。 新德里消息:火车站可能是下一个网吧印度的小镇。在大城市与宽带接入更加丰富,人们从印度的小城镇发现走进火车站是一个通向高速互联网访问和他们最好的利用它。

Data from 15 stations, where Google<\/a> has installed high-speed WiFi<\/a> networks, reveals that railway commuters in tier-II cities are streaming movies, upgrading phone software and conducting other heavy-duty downloads using these networks.
\n
\n“We are focussing on not just high download speeds but also streaming speeds because the highest usage comes from applications such as videos, upgrading phone software, uploading high-quality pictures and other heavy downloads,\" Gulzar Azad, head of access, Google India, told ET in an exclusive chat. As a result, stations in tier-II cities consumed 20 times more data than those in tier-I cities, say Google officials, who add that absolute number of users logging into Google's WiFi networks in smaller cities has pleasantly surprised them.“After Mumbai Central in January, we did a big launch in Bhubaneswar (station), which overtook Mumbai Central within a day of the launch (in terms of) consumption,\" said Azad.
\n
Mumbai Central, one of the busiest stations in the metropolis, had 1,00,000 users of the network per week. Bhubaneswar surpassed that mark in a day .“Similar usage patterns started to emerge in tier-II cities like Patna, Jaipur, Ranchi and so on,“ said Azad. In September 2015, Google had tied up with Indian Railways and its telecom arm RailTel<\/a> to provide high-speed WiFi coverage in 400 stations. RailTel has 45,000 km of fibre optic network across the country that Google is hopping on to for its WiFi network.
\n
\nGoogle says it has rolled out the service in 15 stations so far, including towns such as Kacheguda, Raipur, Ranchi and Ujjain. The company says it has over 4,30,000 users on the network every week, up from the over 3,00,000 users last month. By the end of the year, Google plans to roll out the WiFi service in 100 cities across the country. In aweek, Google plans to connect Gorakhpur, Lucknow Junction and Sealdah stations.
\n
\nWhatever be the reason -poor quality of mobile data networks or the famous Indian love for freebies - rail commuters are bingeing on free data. The average user is consuming 10 times more data than he would consume on a 3G pack in a day , say Google officials. To put that in context, industry reports suggest that users consume about 25 MB of 3G data in a day . That would put average user consumption of data in stations at about a staggering 250 MB per day . That, despite being in “a transit environment.\"
\n
\nThe rollout of WiFi hasn't been without challenges for Google. without challenges for Google.Each station throws up its own set of issues: from power availability to people density to the very architecture of the station. For example, Gorakhpur has one of the world's longest railway platforms (1.35 km). “Many of these stations were built during the British era, so they have very high rooftops. Some of them are really big in terms of platform area - some have 16 platforms, some have only a few platforms, which also changes many aspects. Power reliability in Uttar Pradesh, for example, will be different from how it is in Kerala,“ said Azad, adding that 10-20 teams of design engineers work simultaneously to ensure a uniform experience across all parts of a station.

追求高速数据:铁路平台成为巴拉特的网吧
数据来自15个站,在那里谷歌安装了高速无线网络网络,揭示铁路通勤者在第二层城市流电影,升级手机软件和开展其他重型下载使用这些网络。
“我们不仅仅关注高使用率最高下载速度也流的速度,因为来自应用,如视频、手机软件升级,上传高质量照片和其他重型下载,”古尔扎Azad,负责人访问谷歌印度,告诉ET在一次独家聊天。因此,站在第二层城市消费20倍比一级城市的数据,谷歌官员说,他补充说,绝对数量的用户登录到谷歌在小城市有惊喜的WiFi网络。“在孟买中心今年1月,我们做了一个大的发射在布巴内斯瓦尔(站),它超越了孟买的中心在一天内发布(的)消费,”部长说。
孟买中部,最繁忙的车站的大都市之一,拥有00000个用户的网络/周。布巴内斯瓦尔超过一天马克。”等类似的使用模式开始出现在第二层城市巴特那,斋浦尔,兰契等等,”部长说。2015年9月,谷歌与印度铁路和其电信业务RailTel提供高速无线网络覆盖400个车站。RailTel全国的45000公里光纤网络,谷歌是跳跃的WiFi网络。
谷歌表示,它已经推出了服务在15站到目前为止,包括城镇如Kacheguda sujeet kumar兰契和Ujjain。该公司表示,它有超过30000用户在网络上每个星期,从超过00000个用户。到今年年底,谷歌计划推出无线服务在全国100个城市。在整整一周,谷歌计划连接戈勒克布尔,勒克瑙结和Sealdah电台。
无论移动数据网络的原因——可怜的质量或著名的印度对免费的爱——铁路乘客免费数据的甜头。普通用户消耗10倍数据比使用3 g包一天,谷歌官员说。把它放在上下文、行业报告显示,用户消费大约25 MB的3 g数据在一天。这将使普通用户消费数据在电台每天大约250 MB。,尽管在“交通环境。”
推出的无线网络没有没有挑战谷歌。没有挑战谷歌。每个车站抛出了自己的问题:从电力供应到人们车站的建筑密度。例如,戈勒克布尔有一个世界上最长的铁路平台(1.35公里)。“许多这些站在英国时期建造的,所以他们有很高的屋顶。有些很大的平台区域,一些有16个平台,一些只有几个平台,也改变许多方面。电力可靠性在北方邦,例如,将不同于它是如何在喀拉拉邦,“说自由,10 - 20设计工程师团队同时工作,确保一个统一的体验的所有部分。
