Huawei and Airtel offer free Internet access to EasyCabs passengers in Delhi NCR

Huawei and Airtel have teamed up to offer free Internet access to EasyCabs customers in Delhi NCR.

About 100 EasyCabs in the region have been equipped with Huawei's E355 Wi-Fi USB modem with Airtel's 3G-enabled SIMs. The offer will be valid from June 28 to September 27, 2013 in Delhi NCR.

Announcing the consumer initiative, Huawei Device India President, Victor Shan said: "We are really excited to launch 3G Wi-Fi connectivity on-the-go in Easy Cabs, powered by Airtel's high speed 3G Internet and enabled by Huawei E355 Wi-Fi data card. As consumers continue to own multiple Wi-Fi-enabled devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets and gaming devices, we hope that they can utilise their valued time and make the most out of their journey by enjoying faster emailing, surfing, gaming, movies and video clips."

Talking about this alliance, Rohit Gothi, Hub CEO, Bharti Airtel, Delhi-NCR and Rajasthan said, "With the Internet emerging as an inherent part of the lives we lead today, we at Airtel are always looking for new ways of bringing our customers closer to the always-connected online experience that they enjoy. Through Huawei's data card services available in EasyCabs across the city, we are delighted to offer our customers in Delhi NCR a seamless and high-speed data experience to stay connected to the exciting world of internet - even when on the road."

Huawei E355 was launched in India last year as a product that can work as a regular USB modem capable of accepting GSM SIM, or in a mode that can create a Wi-Fi network for your mobile devices while it is connected to your PC. Connect it to a USB power source and it can also function as a standalone device, creating a Wi-Fi network that you can use.
