"Our patented technology allows us to provide low cost internet access to millions of people who are unable to afford it with current products."

With access to billions of web pages, at no cost, users can take advantage of content for both education and entertainment.  The web is the most powerful tool for commerce, allowing users to make travel bookings, participate in ecommerce and promote their own businesses and conduct transactions.  Even endless forms of communications can be conducted on the free access delivered by DataWind, including access to E-mail and social networking sites.  All DataWind internet connectivity products will now come bundled with the infinite power of the internet, at no additional cost to the user.  

Covered by 18 U.S. and international patents, DataWind's web delivery platform delivers a fast and affordable route to internet over 2.5G and 3G networks.  DataWind's back-end cloud servers compress and accelerate the delivery of web content by factors of 10x to 30x to render a fast and rich desktop-like web experience even on traditional GPRS/EDGE 2.5G mobile networks.  Utilizing this technology, a year of unlimited access on the UbiSurfer browser is now going to be bundled in with all DataWind low cost internet connectivity devices and delivered using the Reliance Communications GSM network for free.  The free-access does not include audio/video streaming or local-downloads, which can alternatively be accessed by upgrading access plans.
