Fibre Reinforced Polymer or Fibre Reinforced Plastic is a composite material, made of a polymer-matrix reinforced with fibres. FRP-empowered Optical Fibre Cables (OFCs) and their optimal application within networks represent a big step in standardization of optical communications technology. As a robust and cost-effective cable-reinforcement solution, FRP Rods have many value-adding features.
BharatNet, with its ambitious aim to provide last-mile digital connectivity through the OFCs in more than 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats (GPs) in India, has come a long way to facilitate Digital India-journey. Bihar, following the Public Sector-led model of BharatNet Phase-II, was divided into 3 Packages under the project. Polycab Telecom was awarded Bihar Package 3 (B3) to design and build the Digital Highway with Optical Fibres and maintain it for 6 years.
When 5G truly becomes ubiquitous, it will herald a new era. It will enable innovative use cases that have been not been possible today due to limited bandwidth. 5G will completely change the way we have thought of connectivity, and will create new possibilities that will be limited only by imagination. With data transfer rates...
We’re living in exciting times, wherein paradigm-disrupting technologies are emerging with regularity. Connectivity is undergoing evolutionary changes, with many possibilities, some of them still unthought-of, are hanging on horizon. Digital intelligence is going to be integral in powered products to add functionality and value to them. Smarter Future, rides on instant connectivity and unification of data and power.
Smart connectivity has become one of the key pillars of modern life today. As elsewhere, rural people of our country have also started to feel the digital dawn in their ecosystems. As India is on its journey to achieve the ambitious target of becoming a trillion-dollar digital economy by 2025, digital empowerment of rural people will go a long way in connecting the unconnected & underserved in economy.
Undeniably fibre-optics technology carries the promise of a flexible, scalable and full-service network platform, enabling the service-providers to transmit massive amounts of information at record-breaking speeds, with minimal interference. But laying of optical-fibre cables comprises processes and procedures which, when not strictly adhered to, could be a potential threat for the environment.
Today data has turned into a staple item of everyday consumption for all of us. Requirement for fixed-line broadband connectivity and the need to have robust infrastructure in place to support it has risen all across urban and rural areas. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the digital needs of people world-over, accelerating disruptions for more efficient networks, that can easily become vehicles for numerous customer-centric services.
Today Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is one of the most frequently applied fiber-optic transmission technologies to build core telecom networks. DWDM is an optical multiplexing system, wherein data-signals from varied sources are put together, with each signal being transmitted on a separate light wavelength. More than 80 separate wavelengths, each about 0.8 of a nanometre-wide, can share a single optical fiber.
For people all over the world, internet-use has become conspicuously inescapable for normal routines of life. The development and diffusion of digital technologies has had a positive impact on every layer of our societies. Digital efficiency touches our lives at multiple points throughout the day, in many obvious and unobvious ways. We’ve unprecedented access to data now, which enables us to make more informed and better decisions.
Smart and connected ecosystem offers enormously expanding opportunities for multiple functionalities. It has brought in far greater reliability in executing and getting services, that cut across and transform social and economic landscape. From the perspective of education, a connected ecosystem has all the potential to facilitate universal quality education and significantly enhance learning outcomes in our country.
