PM-WANI PDOA Software & App Provider in India

Public Data Offices (PDO) are internet booths who will establish, maintain, and operate only WANI compliant Wi-Fi Access Points and deliver broadband services to subscribers. Keeping in mind the model of PCO (Public Call Office) booths across India, PDOs are designed with a similar business model. It facilitates ease of doing business and encourage local shops and small establishments to become Wi-Fi providers.

Any entity can be a PDO. NO REGISTRATION will be required. It will install Wi-Fi Access point. Any Village level entrepreneur (VLE), Grocery shops owner, Tea stalls, Kirana shops, Vegetable shops, restaurant owner etc. all can become PDO and start selling internet broadband over Wi-Fi.

• Employment creation in Rural & Urban areas
• Disposable incomes in the hands of small and medium entrepreneurs
• Boost the GDP of the country. Proliferation of Broadband Services through public Wi-Fi is a step towards digital India and consequential benefit thereon.

Becoming a PDO does not need any registration. PDO needs to partner with a PDOA for purchasing an access point compatible with its PDOA stack and with an ISP to arrange the backhaul for the access point.

PM-WANI (Prime Minister’s Wi-Fi Access Network Interface) is a Government of India framework, approved in December 2020, that allows anyone to offer public WiFi through small hotspots without a telecom licence. The ecosystem has three roles — PDOs (hotspot operators), PDOAs (aggregators who authorize and manage PDOs) and App Providers — all registered through the C-DOT Central Registry. Nanovise provides the complete certified software stack for this ecosystem.

A PDOA (Public Data Office Aggregator) authorizes and manages PDOs. Nanovise is a fully certified PDOA and provides the entire stack: PDOA dashboard, captive portal, AAA authentication server, payment gateway integration, WANI handler, user activity logs (IPDR compliance), access point management and mobile apps for users, PDOs and PDOAs.
