Which of these are you?

Looking for free public Wi-Fi to use?

PM-WANI hotspots are found through the official PM-WANI apps on your phone, which show nearby hotspots and let you buy access. Immunity does not operate a consumer login page. We build and supply the equipment and platform that PM-WANI hotspots run on.

Want to earn from public Wi-Fi?

If you own a shop, cafe, kiosk or venue, you can host a hotspot and sell access as a Public Data Office. Immunity is a certified PDO Aggregator and supplies the complete stack. Become a PM-WANI PDO →

Buying Wi-Fi for a business, hotel, hospital or campus?

That is a different requirement from public PM-WANI access. See enterprise Wi-Fi solutions.

FAQ

PM-WANI Wi-Fi: apply, register and connect

How do I apply for PM-WANI Wi-Fi?

There are two ways in. As a user, you do not apply: install a PM-WANI app from a registered App Provider, sign in with your mobile number and OTP, and connect at any PM-WANI hotspot. If you want to run a hotspot from your shop or premises, you become a Public Data Office (PDO) under a PDO Aggregator such as Immunity. Send us your details and we will guide you.

Is there a registration fee or licence to become a PM-WANI PDO?

Under the DoT PM-WANI framework a PDO needs no licence, no registration with DoT and pays no fee to DoT. Any shop or establishment with space for an access point and a broadband backhaul can become a PDO by tying up with a PDO Aggregator.

How can I get PM-WANI Wi-Fi at home?

PM-WANI is a public Wi-Fi framework, not a home broadband plan. You can use any PM-WANI hotspot near your home through a PM-WANI app, or, if you run a shop or premises, set up a hotspot there as a PDO and offer Wi-Fi to the public.

How do I find a PM-WANI hotspot near me?

Open a PM-WANI app from a registered App Provider. The app lists nearby PM-WANI hotspots and lets you choose a plan offered by that hotspot's PDO.

What does Immunity do in PM-WANI?

Immunity is a PDO Aggregator (PDOA). We supply the Make-in-India access points, captive portal, authentication, billing and IPDR records, and onboard PDOs so they can run hotspots without building that stack themselves.

Is your access point PM-WANI certified?

Yes. Immunity offers India’s first PM-WANI certified access point. See Lotus Alpha.

How do citizens sign in?

Through a flexible captive portal, with app, OTP or voucher onboarding, configurable per site.

Can we bill and settle across PDOs?

Yes. Plans, vouchers and PDO settlement are billed through the NetGuard Controller.

How is IPDR compliance handled?

NetCloud centralises tamper-evident IPDR with configurable retention to meet DoT requirements.

Can we scale to many hotspots?

Yes. Multi-tenant NetCloud with zero-touch onboarding and per-PDO dashboards.

Do you support rural and outdoor sites?

Yes. Ruggedised AX821 outdoor APs with remote management for field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Immunity Networks PM-WANI solution?

Our PM-WANI solution combines Lotus Alpha access points with the NetGuard X5 gateway for captive portal and accounting, centrally managed by NetCloud with zero-touch provisioning. Designed and manufactured in India, it is an affordable, rugged, centrally managed public wifi India offering built for PDOAs.

What PM-WANI hardware do PDOAs need?

As PM-WANI hardware, PDOAs typically deploy our rugged Lotus Alpha access points alongside the NetGuard X5 gateway, which provides the captive portal and accounting functions required for public WiFi. Contact us and we will recommend the right PDOA hardware configuration for your sites.

How does the gateway handle captive portal and accounting for public wifi India?

The NetGuard X5 gateway delivers the captive portal for user onboarding and the accounting functions needed to operate public wifi India under the PM-WANI framework, supporting the authentication and usage tracking expected of a PDOA deployment.

How is the PM-WANI solution deployed and managed across many sites?

Our PM-WANI solution uses the NetCloud platform for zero-touch provisioning and centralised management, so PDOAs can roll out and monitor access points across many locations without on-site configuration, keeping operations affordable and scalable.

Is the hardware Make-in-India, and how do I get pricing?

Yes. As an Indian networking OEM, Immunity Networks designs and manufactures its PM-WANI hardware domestically. We engage via enquiry; contact us with your PDOA and public wifi India requirements for a quotation, lead times and OEM-backed support.
