PM-WANI (Prime Minister's Wi-Fi Access Network Interface) is India's Digital Public Infrastructure framework designed to proliferate broadband internet access through unlicensed public Wi-Fi hotspots.
By eliminating licensing requirements for local operators (PDOs), PM-WANI allows kirana stores, cafes, and venues to deploy compliant guest Wi-Fi networks and monetize public broadband access effortlessly.
01 — What Is the PM-WANI Framework?
The PM-WANI architecture connects Public Data Offices (PDOs), Aggregators (PDOAs), App Providers, and a Central Registry. It allows seamless cross-network authentication, short-duration sachet internet plans, and standardized SSIDs across all compliant hotspots.
PM-WANI transforms neighborhood establishments into digital access hubs, democratizing last-mile broadband connectivity across urban and rural India.Key Benefits of Wifilogy PM-WANI Integration
