Free high-speed WiFi on Hyderabad Metro trains soon

Hyderabad: Sugarbox Networks and Hyderabad Metro joined hands to furnish the trains with technology that allows users to seamlessly access Apps. SugarBox Zones have been set up in all trains and at nine major metro stations across the city where commuters can sign in to SugarBox and watch their favourite movies and listen to music at the click of a button.

SugarBox is a local Wi-Fi network that eliminates the users' dependence on mobile data and provides them an uninterrupted access to apps, without any data charges. Currently users can access content on the Zee5 or the FreePlay App on both Android and iOS.

It enables consumers to download an entire movie in three minutes. Rohit Paranjpe, CEO of SugarBox Networks, said, "We started this service with nine metro stations in Hyderabad for now and we will work on expanding this network.

SugarBox's goal is to empower consumers with seamless access to everything that they may need: OTT, Music, Gaming, Shopping, E-learning, Food delivery, Hyperlocal services and more, even in places with bad or no network and even for users without an active data plan. We are starting with Zee5 and will have more Apps across categories on the platform soon"
