RADWIN > ICT> 0 77 A s the secondmost populous nation in Asia,India has become one of the strongest economies in the developing world. Information and communication technologies have significantly impacted the daily life of Indian people living in urban areas, but those living in rural and remote areas are being left behind.According to the 2016 World Development Report published by the World Bank Group, the largest offline population (up to 1 billion people) resides in India. With the digital divide so evident,the challenge to develop a digital infrastructure covering rural India before 2020 is compounded by India’s varying terrains, remote habitations, dense forests, hills and lack of infrastructure. The Indian government has introduced the ambitious “Bharat Net”project to provide last mile connectivity to rural areas, along with many other projects to connect different departments and universities like NFON,NKN,NII& SWAN.Complementing the existing and planned fiber network,broadband wireless access is the quickest, easiest andmost affordable delivery method for last mile connectivity to bridge the digital divide. Deployment challenges in rural areas are different from in the city. Many factors can have an impact on last mile wireless solutions.For example,overcoming interference to provide reliable service in the noisy unlicensed 5.8GHz band; lack of reliable electricity increases the need for alternate energies like solar power; a high number of deployments in one area requires techniques to control self- interference and provide stable throughput.Longer range support BroadbandWireless Access – the quick, easy and cost-effective way to drive last mile rural connectivity in India is essential due to the spread of the population served and to reduce infrastructure costs.Additionally,lightweight,low power and affordable equipment that is robust enough to withstand local weather, together with easy installation and minimal maintenance is key to a quick roll-out of the network and low expenditure through the network lifecycle. By 2030, 40% of India’s population will live in cities, and RADWIN’s wireless solutions,which are the driving force behindmany Smart City deployments around the globe,are providing similar support to large municipal corporations in India to increase efficiency and improve quality of life. RADWIN’s wireless broadband technologies support applications such as Video Surveillance, Municipal Wi-Fi, building connectivity (e.g.schools and libraries) and digital signage.RADWIN JET features beamforming technology to create a narrower beam for improved interference immunity and link quality and increase antenna and system gain in both uplink & downlink directions. When deploying last mile access in rural locations,RADWIN’s Point- to-Point (PtP) & Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) solutions offer the highest performance in noisy spectrums,allowing for greater network growth with less infrastructure compared to alternative wireless solutions. With security features which allow only authorized access,RADWIN’s solutions are secure and also provide Quality of Service (QoS).
