The search giant unveils a new service to its U.S. users that switches between cellular and Wi-Fi signals and lets customers pay for only what data they use. This service is tagged “Project FI”.
According to Google’s blog, Project FI automatically connects you to more than a million free, open wi-fi hotspots. Once connected, google helps you secure your data through encryption and when you’re not on wi-fi, users are being moved between whichever networks is delivering the fastest speed.
This service will be launched in the US. Experts say Google’s plan is to rent voice and data capacity from two leading operators in the US- Sprint and T-Mobile, while using existing wi-fi hotspots.
Google says it plans to let its subscribers make calls over Wi-fi Network, without the use of an app and this service will be available on the Nexus 6, which Google developed with Motorola which makes it the first smartphone that supports the hardware and software to work with the new service.
