Making performance internet the standard
Who we are
Always on. Always ahead.
I-ON was founded in Bengaluru in 2008, born from the idea of the ion: small, invisible, but powerful enough to create movement, signal and connection.
We started with a campus Wi-Fi network at Manipal University, Manipal, then took Wi-Fi to hospitality, co-living, airports, malls and other public spaces. Today, I-ON powers homes and businesses across India with performance that holds room by room, device by device.
