Manipal University has tied up with D-VoiS Broadband Private Limited, Bangalore for the implementation of a campus wide Wi-Fi Mesh Network, capable of supporting high speed internet and other broadband applications.

This self-sealing, self-adjusting network enables students to access internet, intranet and other value added applications anytime, anywhere within the campus. The Wi-Fi Mesh network at Manipal is one of the largest seamless Wi-Fi networks in the country covering almost the entire city of Manipal.

According to Dr. Ranjan Pai, CEO, Manipal Education and Medical Group, “Manipal University had been a leader in imparting global education and ensuring world class infrastructure for its students. We believe in providing our students the best that technology has to offer to enable them to study at their pace and comfort. With the WiFi Mesh, the students have the advantage of accessing high speed internet anywhere on the campus thus facilitating learning and ensuring academic excellence. “

The WiFi Mesh network is spread across 5 sq km and is capable of supporting more than 15000 subscribers. Manipal University in association with D-VoiS would also implement other value added applications such as streaming video, e-library and video on demand in a phased manner.
