The Mojo Networks, a pioneer in cloud-managed Wi-Fi, is geared up to kickstart its first ‘Wifi Think Fest’ for students across India. The contest is an attempt to encourage students to take an out-of-the-box approach towards developing new applications of WiFi technology. The awards ceremony for this contest will be held at the 4th Wi-Fi Knowledge Summit, an initiative which brings together WiFi practitioners and enthusiasts to develop best practices for WiFi planning, deployment and optimisation. The summit will be a two-day grand event from September 14-15, 2017 at IIT-Bombay.
“Our aim is to harness the imagination of young minds for extending the power of WiFi beyond just a means of internet access. We are encouraging all students to come up with innovative ideas to unleash the power of WiFi in making their campus a smart campus, city a smart city. So, let your imagination run wild and think about how you can facilitate the creation of a smart world,” Pravin Bhagwat, co-founder and CTO, Mojo Networks, says.
