Sterlite Power has completed its
Gurugram Smart City project for creating an intracity fibre network for the
city’s communication needs. The company’s convergence business had entered a
public-private partnership (PPP) agreement with Gurugram Metropolitan
Development Authority (GMDA) to build, manage and maintain the fibre network in
Gurugram sub city 2 for 21 years.
In this project, Sterlite Power has installed
four underground ducts that carry fibres connecting all the bus stops, schools,
police stations, government buildings along with various private buildings. Two
ducts among these are dedicated to Gurugram smart city’s operation and the
other two can be commercially used by communication service providers. The
entire route is updated through geographic information system (GIS) along with
an integrated fibre monitoring system for proactive monitoring as well as
preventive and corrective maintenance.
This public-private partnership has created a
world-class optical fibre infrastructure to place Gurugram smart city at par
with global standards. It provides fibre connectivity to GMDA’s integrated
command and control centre (ICCC) which served as Gurugram’s COVID-19 war room
for distribution of food and relief material.
Sterlite
Power’s Convergence Business unit is one of the leading providers of
best-in-class dark fibre solutions in the country utilising its highly reliable
Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) network. The increasing demand for data has received
another surge due to the work from home and learn from home arrangements in the
pandemic situation, which is becoming the new normal. With future technologies
like 5G, IoT, M2M communications, development of intra-city fibre
infrastructure turns out to be critical which will enable telcos, ISPs, MSOs
with superior fibre for FTTX. With its expertise in designing, deploying, and
maintaining OPGW and all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) fibre networks,
Sterlite Power aims to provide best-in-class communication infrastructure and
solutions by creating the most reliable network.
