Google Station was a Google service that allowed partners to roll out Wi-Fi hotspots in public places by providing software and advice on hardware to turn fiber connections into Wi-Fi.[1] It was only implemented in India and Indonesia but in March 2018, the service was launched in Mexico.[2][3][4] In February 2020, Google announced the service would be discontinued.[5] The service went offline on September 30, 2020.[6]

RailTel took over the service in India and continues to offer free WiFi at railway stations.[5]
