Agra Lucknow Expressway to offer free Wi-Fi
Free Wi-Fi will soon be available on the entire 302-kilometer stretch of India's longest expressway from Agra to Lucknow.
Nearly a year after the expressway was thrown open to the public by its predecessor. The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has offered to lease out space for laying an optical fiber cable (OFC) along the six-lane expressway, officials said.
The plan is to earn revenue to maintain the expressway and have a win-win agreement with a private player by giving out leasing rights to lay OFC in order to offer free Wi-Fi facility along the entire stretch, they said.
This will also help UP have a world-class advanced traffic management system (ATMS) for the convenience and safety of motorists by way of traffic monitoring and event detection and speed enforcement through a network of CCTV cameras and phone helplines at every two kilometers on the expressway.
The OFC network may be laid along the expressway, on top of power transmission lines along the expressway or using earth wire, it said
