Reliance Infocomm and Intel join hands to accelerate the Internet revolution in India Intel powered PCs and laptops to provide users instant Internet connectivity through Reliance IndiaMobile and other wireless products DAKC (Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City), Navi Mumbai, September 21, 2004 In yet another industry first, Reliance Infocomm today announced an agreement with Intel to offer instant, assured and uninterrupted Internet connectivity with Intel powered PCs and laptops sold in top eight cities of India. Users purchasing systems from select dealers will be offered Intel-powered PCs/laptops with Reliance wireless products such as Reliance IndiaMobile and Fixed Wireless Phones along with a data cable, to avail of Internet connectivity at speeds that far exceed today's dial-up speeds. With its pan-India CDMA2000 1x network, Reliance wireless products enable anytime, anywhere, high-speed Internet connectivity on PCs, Laptops and other computing devices through the popular R-Connect service platform. With a maximum possible download speed of 144 kbps, Reliance wireless products are far superior to most other personal Internet connectivity devices. Reliance IndiaMobile handsets can be used as wireless modems to connect to the Internet from personal computers, laptops or hand-held devices, even while on the move. "Internet connectivity in India has lagged behind due to poor quality networks and high access costs. CDMA wireless connectivity will now bridge both - the access and cost gaps - and revolutionise Internet usage. Our expanding R-Connect user base has already established us as one of the largest ISPs in the country and is growing every day. With our Phase II expansion underway, Reliance Infocomm services will soon cover the far-flung interiors of India and this tie-up will help boost the rural economy by increasing Internet penetration. This agreement with Intel is yet another step forward in Reliance Infocomm's commitment to bring about a digital revolution in India by changing the way Indians communicate, get entertained and do business," said Kamal Nanavaty, Head, Wireless Business, Reliance Infocomm. Reliance Infocomm is currently enrolling hundreds of Genuine Intel Dealers as point of sale dealers across top eight cities of India to market the new offering. These dealers sell branded and assembled PCs/lap tops using Intel chips. Speaking at the press briefing, Mr. Amar Babu of Intel Technology, South Asia, said, "Through this agreement between Reliance and Intel, the end consumer will have the added advantage of using a PC with wireless connectivity and be able to experience the benefits of anytime, anywhere computing. This move will bring forth the Reliance wireless technology combined with Intel's silicon technology and work with the Genuine Intel Dealer network to ultimately offer seamless connectivity to the end consumer." Apart from higher Internet access speeds, R Connect users also enjoy the lowest Internet access charges and hassle free connection since wireless lines provide instant connectivity. A one time installation of the dial-up software essentially enables the user to access the Internet anywhere on the Reliance network, without the need to change dial-up configurations. Moreover, R Connect enables a user to begin surfing from any location - be it the bedroom, drawing room, office or even while on the move from a car. With an attractive base price of just Rs. 21,789 for the new product offering comprising the Intel Pentium 4 Processor based PC, a Reliance IndiaMobile handset (LG 2230), and the R-Connect data cable, this agreement is set to boost Internet penetration to a wider user segment.

we hv already got a sub topic for thes ringtones http://www.rimweb.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=979 kindly post more rintones details over there or ringtones sub forum in technical section.

does anyone know code to register talisman. pls send me PM. posting codes over here is not allowed.

Most of the users atleast majority of users using RCONNECT use it from home. Company can earn major revenue only if it targets a common customer. Reliance occupies a lead over other mobile operators bcz with its plans it targetted common man with schemes like 501. i think they want more people to shift to netway or broadband services which they will rovide soon.

at Re 1/ min they can't compete Sancharnet.

if unlimited access then fine. but i think they will put some download limit atleast on 700 package.

good guess sumit but truth still unknown. but will be a hammer on students head.

what i was sorry to read that i can't hack users. can anyone help me to open a yahoo .in account

it's good topic. vishal thanx tips really work. i am using PC with 3 OS Me, XP Proffessional, 2003 Server. My C drive is on FAT 32 while other drives are on NTFS. Keeping NTFS helps to maintain good security. my XP & 2003 are password protected. so none knows what all i have in my system.

sounds great. can u pls mention source.

it's available on website in quick links. it also asks password. any idea or may be a web forum to compete rimweb

yeh andar ke baat hai. someone told me and I trust that person. therefore I belive it will be made available. let's all of us also hope 4 best.

Minimum cost is Rs 700/- and no cable only internet. No cable (TV), No waivers 4 post paid customers, installation charges of Rs 1000/-. Not suitable for my pocket. But this I hv developed a hope that they will reduce Rconnect charges.

in 1 or 2 months software upgrade will be made available.

applications are handset specific.

Search jobs . apply but 4 apply pay SMS charges.

is it RUIM compatible :'(

Even after 24 hrs i hv not received confirmaion mail on my gmail id.

Don't worry. u r owner of gtran u can use tata on it. ww authority said its legally permitted.

is repeated reg to hdfc required after 93 migration

RUIM is similar to SIM. It is manufactured with international standards. Different RUIMS may have different memory capacity but can’t vary in physical dimensions. Even today RUIM is available at all web worlds. GTran users hv it in their mobiles while others can get it by requesting for international roaming. Handsets for TATA and Reliance can’t be same bcz of Rworld services. Getting such response from Reliance seems to be a dream with minimum probability of becoming true.

Will they be able to compete with a local cable operator? Quality will be surely better but what about charges. Presently I am paying 200 to cable operator and access internet abt Rs 200 using BSNL.

phone consumes battery when switched off. what do u say?
