We are Part of making Digital India executing National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) Project. The NOFN was approved by the government in October 2011. The project is aimed at connecting 250,000 village panchayaths and is targeted to be completed by October 2013. However, this timeline may get stretched by two years. The project is implemented by Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL), a special purpose vehicle formed by Department of Telecom (DOT) . The NOFN has been envisaged as a joint initiative of the state and central governments. The central government has approved Rs 200 billion from the Universal Service Obligation (USO) Fund for the NOFN. We are proud to state that we have executed the pilot project at Parawada in Vishakapatnam District,Andhra Pradesh in the year 2012 on behalf of M/s.Powergrid Corporation of India Ltd who are the executing agencies of this project. Role of the NOFN The NOFN is expected to ensure that broadband connectivity of at least 100 Mbps is available at each gram panchayath. Further, applications such as e-health, e-education, e-governance, e-commerce applications and videoconferencing will be supported by the network. The NOFN, which will be a business-to-business set-up, is expected to provide non-discriminatory access to the network to all service providers, including operators, internet service providers and cable TV operators. The network is expected to provide a conducive ecosystem to these players to launch retail services and enhance their reach in rural markets. In near future we are going to play a major role in this project.
