Under the contract, Nokia will ship WiFi6 Mesh technology which the company claims is ideally suited to residential homes with large and multi-floor spaces, as well as for small office/home office (SOHO) enterprises, which represent a large addressable market in India, as per economic times.
"Our partnership with Nokia allows us to bring WiFi6-ready network to our customers - which is a first in the category.
