Suneet Singh Tuli, President & CEO, DataWind stated “With a goal to connect and empower the forgotten billions, we are dedicated to drive 4G implementation in India. Our 7 inch 4G marvel is the first in its class, beating existing products in the market by more than a 20% margin”

We need to provide something on the connectivity front as well to bring mobile Internet to the masses. All DataWind devices come bundled with the infinite power of the internet, at no additional cost on the Reliance Communications network.”
In addition to regular voice calling functionality, the tablet incorporates DataWind’s Internet-delivery platform covered by 18 U.S. and international patents allowing the devices to deliver a fast mobile web experience on regular EDGE/3G/4G LTE based networks. This reduces bandwidth consumption by up to 97%, allowing the delivery of web pages across even congested 2G networks in 5 to 7 seconds – with even faster speeds on 4G networks.
