[dropcap size=small]W[/dropcap]ith the onset of an era of online calling and social networking, the need of hour was a fast, reliable and unhindered network. Not a single person in this world wants to face any kind of obstruction while Calling or Texting and when this type of thing transpires when one is in middle of something critical, it’s more irksome than anything. Now the search giant, Google is trying to iron out the problem with the commencement of Project Fi.
Rumors of Google launching its own wireless service has finally taken shape in form of Project Fi, which for now has collaborated with T-Mobile and Sprint. Project is in its experimental phase and will support only Nexus 6. [highlight color=#10C0D7 ]It will be available in over 120 countries and at a fairly low price of roughly 30$ per month.[/highlight] The most fascinating part of the story is that [highlight color=#10C0D7 ]you have to pay only for the data you have used[/highlight] and you will get Cashback for the untapped data.
Now comes the question, what’s going to be so different about Fi which will single it out from rest of the giants in this sector? What project Fi really does is that [highlight color=#10C0D7 ]it will connect you to fastest network accessible in your region that might be any open Wi-Fi, 4G or 3G.[/highlight] For instance, you are in the office premises using online calling and you walk out of the premises to some place quiet where Wi-Fi is not available, then your call will be Interrupted and here Fi comes to the rescue. As soon as you walk out of the range of Wi-Fi, Fi will connect you to the fastest network available in that area to an alternative open source without bothering you to make any kind of modification to settings. In a nutshell, network transformation will take place between Wi-Fi and cell networks.
Google has to compete with giants like AT&T, Verizon and if everything works fine, Fi might steal the show as there are only a few limitations in the Project, for instance it supports only Nexus 6 and family plan is not available, which could be overcome as project advances and reaches its final stage.
Here is a video uploaded by Google on Youtube that portrays the characteristic features of the network Fi :
