Nanovise is an Indian airport WiFi system provider. Our managed airport WiFi gives every passenger free, verified internet that follows them from the kerbside to the boarding gate. Passengers sign in once with a mobile OTP. International travellers without an Indian SIM get a voucher in seconds when help-desk staff scan their passport or visa with the Nanovise app. Every session is logged to meet Department of Telecommunications (DoT) rules, and operators run it all from a cloud dashboard and a mobile app.
Nanovise’s airport WiFi system is live at two Airports Authority of India (AAI) airports. Passengers there get online through the same login flow, apps and compliance logging described on this page.
Siliguri, West Bengal · Airports Authority of India
The air gateway to Darjeeling, Sikkim and the eastern Himalayas: a busy tourist airport with sharp seasonal peaks, where passengers expect to stay connected while they wait.
Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman & Nicobar Islands · Airports Authority of India
The main gateway to the Andaman Islands, where passengers want to get online the moment they land, whether they carry an Indian SIM or a foreign passport.
There are two simple paths, one for passengers with an Indian mobile number and one for international passengers. Both end in the same fast, terminal-wide WiFi, and both leave a verified identity behind every session.
An airport is a hard place to run WiFi: thousands of phones arriving in waves, people walking the length of the building, foreign passengers who can’t receive an OTP, and strict Indian rules on who may get online. These are the eight things the Nanovise airport WiFi system is built around.
Passengers enter a mobile number and type in the one-time password sent by SMS. No passwords on posters, and every user is verified before they get online.
One login covers the entire terminal: check-in, security hold, gates, food court and arrivals. Passengers don’t sign in again as they move.
As a passenger walks, their phone is handed over from one access point to the next without dropping, so video calls, downloads and boarding passes keep working.
Per-user speed limits and fair-use rules stop one heavy download from slowing a whole gate. Capacity is planned zone by zone for boarding-time crowds.
Identity verification for every user (OTP or passport) and IPDR session logs, in line with DoT requirements for public WiFi. Nanovise is also a certified PM-WANI PDOA.
Where cabling is costly or not allowed, access points link to each other wirelessly. If one link drops, traffic takes another path, so coverage stays up.
Airport IT and the operator see who’s online, check access point health, issue vouchers and pull usage reports from a phone, not just from a server room.
Help-desk staff scan a passport or machine-readable visa (MRV) and the app creates a WiFi voucher for that traveller in seconds, with the identity kept for compliance. No kiosk to install.
Coverage is planned zone by zone, from the kerbside to the last boarding gate. Access points overlap so a passenger’s phone is handed over without a drop, mesh links reach the spots cables can’t, and staff and lounge traffic runs on its own network.
Most airport WiFi complaints come down to the same few problems: a login that doesn’t work for foreign passengers, a connection that drops between check-in and the gate, and a network that crawls when a flight is boarding. Here is how a basic public hotspot compares with the Nanovise airport WiFi system.
| What matters | Basic public hotspot | Nanovise airport WiFi system |
|---|---|---|
| Login | Shared password on a poster, or no check at all | Mobile OTP for every passenger |
| International passengers | Can’t receive an OTP, so they stay offline | Passport / visa scan voucher in seconds |
| Walking to the gate | Drops between zones; log in again | One login, seamless access-point handover |
| Boarding-time crowds | One heavy user slows everyone | Per-user speed and fair-use limits |
| Hard-to-cable areas | Dead zones | Mesh links extend coverage |
| Compliance | Few or no usage records | Verified users and IPDR logs |
| Staff and lounges | Same network as the public | Separate secured networks |
| Day-to-day control | Router admin on site only | Cloud dashboard and operator mobile app |
Indian rules require public WiFi providers to verify each user before giving access and to keep records of who used the network and when. At an airport that has to work for every passenger, including foreign nationals. The Nanovise airport WiFi system builds this into the login itself, so the airport never relies on a paper register. Read more on our IPDR compliance page.
An airport WiFi system is the full set of access points, controllers, login (captive) portal, authentication server and management software that gives passengers and staff internet access across a terminal. A good one verifies every user, keeps them connected as they move, shares bandwidth fairly at busy gates and keeps the usage records Indian regulations require.
Passengers select the airport WiFi network, a login page opens, they enter their mobile number and then type in the one-time password (OTP) sent by SMS. On a Nanovise airport network that single login then works across the whole terminal for the length of the free session.
They go to the WiFi or help desk. Staff scan the passport or machine-readable visa with the Nanovise passport-scan app, which reads the machine-readable zone (MRZ) and creates a WiFi voucher linked to that identity. The passenger logs in with the voucher; no Indian number is needed.
Department of Telecommunications (DoT) rules require public WiFi providers to verify each user before giving access and to keep usage records. An OTP sent to a mobile number is the most common way to verify users; passport-based vouchers cover foreign nationals. Nanovise builds both into the login flow and keeps IPDR logs.
Not on a properly designed network. Nanovise airport networks are planned so coverage overlaps between zones, and phones are handed over from one access point to the next without the passenger logging in again.
Nanovise WiFi is live at Bagdogra Airport (IXB) in Siliguri, West Bengal, and at Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) in Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram), Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
Yes. The Nanovise admin app lets operators see who’s online, check access point health, issue vouchers and view usage reports from a phone. The full cloud dashboard is available in any browser.
Some areas, such as the kerbside, temporary structures and older buildings, are hard or costly to cable. In a mesh network, access points connect to each other wirelessly, so coverage reaches those spots, and if one link fails, traffic is routed through another.
Yes. Passenger WiFi runs separately from staff, airline, concessionaire and lounge networks, each with its own access rules, so public traffic never mixes with operational systems.
Yes. Nanovise supplies and configures access points along with the captive portal, authentication (AAA) server, apps and management software, and supports the network after go-live. Every project starts with a site survey, after which we share a coverage plan and timeline.
Yes. OTP login, passport vouchers, roaming, compliance logs and the admin app suit any busy transport hub. The same Nanovise platform already runs public PM-WANI hotspots and guest WiFi at hotels and hospitals.
