“Unwiring Pune” – the project was jointly announced by Intel and Pune Municipal Corporation in March 2006 and will be started on April 2, 2007. Infrastructure will be established by Intel along with Microsense, Chennai based company. The network will cover the entire 280 sq.km of Pune.

Intel will provide design and planning support, network deployment is carried out by Microsense.
