 Proposal for Creation of Digital Infrastructure in Aspiration Village

1. Objective of the Proposal

To create a complete digital infrastructure in Aspiration Villages using C-DOT Wi-Fi products such as C-
DOT Satellite Wi-Fi, Public Data Offices (PDOs), WiDHWAN and service switch to provide Digital
Services to Citizens

2. Executive Summary
‘Digital India’ programme envisions to “transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge
economy”. The government intends to achieve this by focusing on three vision areas, namely: Digital
Infrastructure as a Core Utility to Every Citizen; Governance and Services on Demand; and Digital
Empowerment of Citizens. The Digital India program has the potential to provide an incremental 20-
30% increase in India's GDP by 2025.

Making available Broadband connectivity to all citizens of our country, whether they are living in cities or
any remote village settlements is the most important requirement today. As part of National Optical Fibre
Network (BharatNet) program, more than 1 lack Gram Panchayats are already covered with fibre. Efforts
are underway to provide connectivity to Citizens over Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is a proven and cost-effective
technology to provide last mile broadband connectivity and proliferate digital connectivity in least time
and investment.

With all these efforts, there are many far flung and difficult terrain areas where connectivity in the form of
Copper or fibre is not feasible. In India, North East, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep Islands,
Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand etc. States are having many villages which are yet
to be brought to the main stream of Digital Economy. Satellite connectivity is only possible option to
provide connectivity in such areas. Recent development and deployment of High-Speed Satellite (HTS)
technology in Ku & Ka band, the bandwidth available for communication need has increased many folds
and cost of bandwidth has reduced tremendously. ISRO has already launched GSAT-19, GSAT-29, GSAT-
11 and GSAT-20 (upcoming) satellites in Ku & Ka band which has made 100 of Gbps of total bandwidth
for our communication need. ISRO is also planning to launch more satellites to increase the bandwidth
capacity in coming year.

Also, there is a need to encourage Village Level Entrepreneurship (VLE) in these areas so that a sustainable
model can be created. Citizen can have an option to create extra income for themselves by reselling internet
data in the form of small denomination coupons/vouchers.

All type of E-governance services can be offered to citizens once the digital connectivity is made available
in these areas.

With all these backgrounds, we propose to create digital infrastructure in these aspiration villages
settlements using C-DOT Wi-Fi products such as Solar Wi-Fi, Public Data Offices and Satellite
Backhaul from any available satellite operators such as BSNL/BBNL. The infrastructure can be used
by any service provider i.e. BSNL to offer various digital services like Voice and Data services along
with E-governance services to the citizens.

3. Digital Push in India

Digital India: ‘Digital India’ programme envisions to “transform India into a digitally empowered society
and knowledge economy”.
BharatNet: India has launched BharatNet National Optical Fiber Network project and has set a target to
connect all 250 thousand Gram Panchayats (GPs) with optic fibre. More than 100 thousand GPs are already
covered under this program.

 Proposal for Creation of Digital Infrastructure in Aspiration Village

NDCP 2018: National Digital Communications Policy (NDCP) – 2018 is the national policy document
to prepare the country and its citizens for the future through digital infrastructure in the country. The policy
document establishes a National Broadband Mission to secure universal broadband access for all Indian
citizens following targets:
BharatNet – Providing 1 Gbps bandwidth to each Gram Panchayats upgradeable to 10 Gbps

GramNet – Connecting all key rural development institutions with 10 Mbps bandwidth upgradeable to
100 Mbps

NagarNet – Establishing 1 Million public Wi-Fi Hotspots in urban areas

JanWiFi – Establishing 2 Million Wi-Fi Hotspots in rural areas

The policy document also focuses on “Strengthening Satellite Communication Technologies in India” by

Reviewing the regulatory regime for satellite communications

Optimizing Satellite communication technologies
Developing an ecosystem for satellite communication in India

4. Need for faster Broadband

Broadband is no more a buzzword of technical meetings and forums; it has become a necessity of every
individual aspiring to connect with the fast-evolving information world. Governments around the world
have recognized the importance of its far-reaching impact on social and economic development of people
and public broadband networks are being set up in every part of the globe now-a-days. There are various
means and schemes to carry this broadband data, and novel wireline and wireless solutions keep on
emerging on regular basis to make this delivery more economical and effective. Wi-Fi is one of such
schemes. It enables transmission in license free band, is very economical and quick to deploy.

Government is in the process of evolving a pilot project for Proliferation of Broadband through Public Wi-
Fi Networks. Public Wi-Fi hotspots can be created using Wi-Fi solution for quick expansion of broadband
network in the country.

Also, with the recent launch of GSAT-11 satellite having 40 transponders in the Ku-band and Ka-band
frequencies, capable of providing up to 16 Gbit/s throughput along with the existing GSAT-14 and GSAT-
19, Government is focusing on the provision of high throughput satellite connectivity to unconnected area
i.e. Aspiration villages.

5. General Requirements

Proposed network in Aspiration villages should be future proof, scalable, maintainable and open standard
to provide controlled, unhindered and unbiased bandwidth shared among the TSPs, ISP and Government
usage on need basis at any location of the island.
The network architecture should be cost effective and built up with the usage of minimum capex, shelter,
solar-powered equipment’s and bandwidth on commercial term and conditions.
The equipment should be IP based and provide backhaul having Point to Multi Point feature to minimize
the requirement of Power and active electronics. It should require less space, easy to install and operate.
Communication technologies for Aspiration villages need to meet the following requirements:

• Provide high speed broadband connectivity for community services.

• Be reliable and rugged to work in Indian environments
• Require low power and be operational on alternative sources of energy like solar powered
• Have an attractive price/performance ratio

 Proposal for Creation of Digital Infrastructure in Aspiration Village

• Conform to TEC standards and other standards for service interoperability

• Works with easily available, low cost end user equipment such as low-cost smart phones etc.
• Preferably be maintenance free or at most require low skill maintenance
• Be easily and locally repairable
• Not demand of special operating environments like air-conditioning.
• Another innovative solution i.e. PDO (Public Data office) which creates a business model for reselling
the data by local and village level entrepreneur.

6. Wi-Fi Technology

Wi-Fi is a technology for wireless local area networking with devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards.
Wi-Fi operates in 2.4GHz and 5GHz unlicensed ISM radio bands. Wi-Fi is originally conceived and des-
ignated to bridge between wired Internet POP to wireless clients for SOHO applications. Since the cost of
broadband on wired connection is substantially lower than wireless connections such as 2.4G/3G/Wi-
MAX/4G, Wi-Fi is generally perceived as “Free” broadband. This has created a huge market for end de-
vices, thereby reducing cost of Wi-Fi chips to few cents. Wi-Fi has now become a de-facto interface for
any electronic device. Wi-Fi, so far has been “access side” technology and is network or backhaul agnostic.
Cellular operators of 3G/4G on the other hand have been striving to capture subscribers offering good QoS
features along with voice services, which is possible due to dedicated or licensed spectrum and proven
core network, involving various types of authentication systems, gateways, billing etc. However, they
could only capture corporate and high value customers due to imbalance in per GB cost between cellular
broadband and Wi-Fi, owing to spectrum costs.

This has resulted in a set of operators offering broadband services on Wi-Fi and other set of operators
offering broadband on cellular connections and competing among themselves. While, this is good for urban
use case, rural population is left to themselves owing to huge maintenance costs, non-availability of skilled
labour for maintenance, power condition and most importantly, low ARPU.

C-DOT BBWT (Broadband Wireless Terminal) Wi-Fi solution addresses all the requirements of ur-
ban, semi-urban and rural population, by efficient integration of Wi-Fi and Satellite backhauls ca-
pable of operating entirely on solar power supply.

7. Feature of C-DOT Wi-Fi system

• Multi sectored Wi-Fi, with each sector configurable in 2.4GHz or 5GHz operation, in hotspot / point
to point / point to multi point or mesh mode
• Supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/AC up to 4x4 MIMO standards
• Supports multiple SSID with in and across sectors

directly from solar panel, without need for battery. However, the system powers off when there is no
sun light. These are particularly used at schools, banks, offices where broadband connectivity is
required only during day time.
• Secondary power input is available where system is needed to operate 24x7.
• Low power operation, with system consuming 25 watts with simultaneous operation of Wi-Fi using
Satellite backhaul.
• TEC GR Certified

can start providing digital services to the Citizens

❖ C-Sat-Fi (C-DOT Satellite Wi-Fi)

C-DOT Satellite Wi-Fi is an innovative integration of VSAT Technology with C-DOT BBWT Wi-Fi
Terminals. The satellite connectivity is used as Backhaul link for the complete village. C-DOT BBWT Wi-
Fi such as Solar Wi-Fi is used for Hotspot and C-DOT Long Range Wi-Fi is used as Point to Point & Point
to Multi Point links to cover the complete village.

The Satellite bandwidth can be provided by existing Satellite operators i.e. BSNL.

The system is optimized to provide concurrent VOIP/Voice calls using C-DOT SAMVAD platform. Local
content servers are placed to provide static content locally over C-DOT Manoranjan platform and reducing
the use of expensive satellite bandwidth and making the bandwidth available for basic connectivity.

The Services can be offered by either local ISPs, BSNL or VLEs by enrolling under CSC (Common Service
Centres).

❖ C-DOT Public Data Office

C-DOT has designed Public Data Office (PDO) on similar lines as those of PCO to offer data services on
Wi-Fi to end users. PDO is a modern and unique concept of C-DOT which would not only take data to the
remotest users, it will also create entrepreneurs at village level.

PDO consists of Wi-Fi access point, computing hardware, billing system and voucher management entity
to enable PDO operator to provide Wi-Fi services to end user. Back haul can either be on Ethernet, Point-
to-point Wi-Fi, 3G/4G from nearest POP.

Users can purchase vouchers from PDO operator after user verification using OTP and get connected to
internet as per the purchased plans. PDO operator is at liberty to generate his own plans both for pre-paid
and post-paid use cases. C-DOT PDO supports both local authentication as well as cloud-based
authentication as per the TRAI Wireless Access Network Interface (WANI) framework.

C-DOT has developed a platform called “MANORANJAN” for Content Acquisition and Distribution
through C-DOT Public Data Office (PDO) system. C-DOT products are indigenous designed and very
low cost which are very easily deployable, maintainable and suitable for our Indian environment.
