He informed that while bandwidth is being provided by BSNL, the system integrator - Quadgen, a Bengaluru based company - is providing the wireless support. Due to security and other reasons, the ASI has only permitted the Wi-Fi availability in a radius of 30 metres from the main gate of the Taj Mahal, officials further said.
