Dell and Reliance to offer end-to-end mobility solution

Mumbai: Dell has announced a unique bundling offer on a select range of notebooks and netbooks with specially designed wireless broadband package from Reliance.

To be marketed as 'NetConnect Broadband Plus', the wireless broadband package will include a USB card and six months of unlimited wireless broadband (subject to a ''fair use'' cap) with every notebook or netbook on purchase.

Upon completion of the offer period, customers can choose to enter any of existing Reliance plans available at that point of time. According to the agreement between the two companies, Dell will make these bundled computing products available through its established channel across the country.

''Internet proliferation along with attendant benefits across business as well as personal use has been a key driver in the PC market," says Mahesh Bhalla, director and general manager of consumer sales, Dell India.

Bhalla says, "But the real catalyst in laptop sales would be when internet access becomes easier, affordable and consistent. This is the first step towards Dell's objective of becoming complete solutions provider.''

He added, ''The offer will allow ''computing on the go'' and is best suited for video streaming, video surveillance, rich media content and superior internet browsing.''
