The S-band is defined by an IEEE standard for radio waves with frequencies that range from 2 to 4 GHz, crossing the conventional boundary between UHF and SHF at 3.0 GHz. It is part of the microwave band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The S band is used by weather radar, surface ship radar, and some communications satellites. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE UHF Ultra High Frequency SHF Super High Frequency WIMAX Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

   

Wireless network equipment compatible with IEEE* 802.11b and 802.11g standards use the 2.4 GHz section of the S-band. Digital cordless telephones operate in this band too. Microwave ovens operate at 2495 or 2450 MHz. IEEE 802.16a and 802.16e standards utilize a part of the frequency range of Sband, Under WiMAX4 standards most vendors are now manufacturing equipment in the range of 3.5 GHz. The exact frequency range allocated for this type of use varies between countries.

Devas has led indigenous innovation in the arena of satellite communications and technologies to establish a next-generation national satellite system that provides vital services to the masses and government agencies across India.

CAG suspects a scandal in the allocation of S-band spectrum and is reportedly investigating losses worth Rs 2 lakh crore in the scam. The alleged scam is related to a deal between ISROs commercial arm Antrix Corp and Devas Multimedia The Devas Multimedia Company is headed by Dr.MG Chandrasekhar, former scientific secretary at ISRO. Deutsche Telecom a {public-private-partnership with German government (32% stake)} gets a stake in Devas

 In

India only total band available is 190 MHz of the S-band Currently 150 MHz is with the Department of Space And 70 MHz of this was allotted to Devas Multimedia for a 20- years , commercial arm of ISRO entered into an agreement with Devas MultiMedia, Bangalore, for S Band services in 2005 and renewed in 2008 December. contract was signed within 34 days from the approval from the board of Antrix.

The

the CAG in its process of enquiry were the following information given : S-band spectrum was being given away without inviting competitive bids Organizational control systems were not followed The Prime Ministers Office, the Cabinet, and the Space Commission were not properly informed about the contract details Public resources were being diverted to building two customer-specific satellites The contract terms deviated from the terms of previous contracts entered into by ISRO and Antrix

Why did no one know about this deal which was signed on January 28, 2005 ? Why did the government maintain so much secrecy about this deal ? Why was the nation not informed about it? Why no competitive bidding was called When an auction of 15 MHz for 3G Spectrum fetched more than Rs 67,000 crores.Why was this contract awarded for only 1,000 crores ? The S-band spectrum is extremely valuable for mobile broadband services, in terms of usage as well as money

Just think who is benefited with the contract ? And the one who losses ?

The answer is we public losing the amount because of unfair trade practices and not maintained transparently It leads to makes the whole system handicap Corruption in India has wings not wheel Undermines economic development of the nation Creates unhealthy climates for investment eventually corruption evil will rule the society

 Shameless

Corrupt people and the bureaucratic politicians are worse than the terrorists who cause havoc once in a while. They have strong impact on everyday lives of the middle class and poor people all over the country. Corruption in every public service department heavily dents the economy besides slowing down the growth.

SO WHAT CAN we DO?

 Right
