BENGALURU: It did during for the cricket World Cup last month and is doing it for IPL season 9. Cricket fans can look forward to Jionet’s high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity,this IPL season also.

Jionet, brought by Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, (RJIL) has changed how cricket fans enjoy their games, by providing high-speed internet connectivity at six main stadiums across the country:  Five of stadiums during the World Cup -New Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla; Rajkot’s SCA Stadium; Kolkata‘s Eden Garden;; Mohali’s Punjab Cricket Stadium and Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, and Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium (replacing Dharmashala’s Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association)  will have Jionet.

RJIL has embarked on this project as a part of revolutionizing how spectators experience the games, as they are commonly faced with issues regarding connectivity. Mobile networks aren’t able to handle such large data traffic. Jionet will change this – the connectivity will not only be adequate but will actually be many times faster than experienced before says As a result of which, spectators will be able to share their story ball by ball, connect with their friends and family, surf, stay connected on social networking sites, and more.

To make this possible, Jionet has harnessed its superior network capacity along with an excellent deployment of specially designed, state-of-the-art Wi-Fi access points (APs) that will cover the entire stadium with a seating capacity of minimum 20,000.

Jionet High Density is designed to provide stable high-quality Wi-Fi coverage to individuals in densely packed groups, at which standard Wi-Fi deployment fails as the APs and their associated radio channels become congested with the increase in the number of Wi-Fi users. Under the standard deployment, simply adding more such conventional APs would not improve matters since the radio footprint of additional APs will overlap those of others, causing greater congestion.
