India: A country of extraordinary diversity Ethnicity,
language, religion, cultural traditions, social organisation, geography and climate all contribute to the diversity of this country.
India has had a continuous civilisation since
2500BC The inhabitants of the Indus River valley
developed an urban culture based on commerce
and sustained by agricultural trade Successive
invasions from peoples arriving from the Northwest,
and the adaptation of their culture and traditions
has marked Indian history throughout The first
British outposts were founded in the 17th century
and by the 1850’s the British controlled most of
present-day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh
In 1920, Indian leader Mohandas K Gandhi
transformed the Indian National Congress political
party into a mass movement to campaign against
British colonial rule Non-violent resistance to British
colonialism led to independence on August 15
1947 Violent riots between the Muslim minority
and the Hindu majority, resulted in the sub
continent being divided into the secular state of
India and the smaller Muslim state of Pakistan
India covers approximately 3,000,000sq kms,
compared to Australia’s 7,600,000sq kms
According to estimations published in 2001, India is the second largest country in the world in terms of population, with approximately 1 billion inhabitants and a growth rate of 1.58% India is forecast to overtake China’s population in the next few decades
The Indian Department of Communications (DoC) is in the process of privatising in order to generate revenue In 1994 a national telecommunications policy was announced allowing for private participation in the provision of cellular as well as basic and value added telephone services
Reliance Infocomm is one of the companies taking advantage of this privatisation push The Reliance Infocomm network will have a central network operating centre (NOC) in Vashi, near Mumbai All the switching functions for the full network will be done from this NOC The switching equipment contract for this NOC, which officials claim is the biggest in the world, is said to have

gone to Ericsson Reliance Infocomm is the first
company in the world to roll out such a large
geographical network using one NOC The
significance of a single NOC is that all services
including billing, databases and customer relations
can be managed centrally - Reducing the cost of
network management substantially
Reliance Infocomm is building infrastructures that
will enable them to provide Broadband services
irrespective of the technology it uses KRONE’s
BROADBAND 8 pair modules are being used for the
outside plant applications, within buildings for
Broadband access connectivity and within 50/100
pr MDF boxes for rural telephony
Broadband is becoming a very common term
within our industry It has presented challenges to
Telcos in the modern world where existing
communications infrastructures have been in place
for many years Reliance chose to use KRONE over
manufacturers in line with their commitment and
requirement to offer a future proofed network,
(DoC requirement for new telcos) expertise and
high quality, high performance products
What is Broadband?
‘Broadband’ is the common term for a high
bandwidth Internet connection A Broadband
service can be capable of transmitting data at up to
40 times the speed of a standard modem
Broadband is always ‘on’ - you don’t need to dial up
every time you want to ‘log on’ Just sit down at
your computer and the Internet is there - like
electricity or tap water!
In the home a Broadband connection can open
up a wealth of entertainment and information
resources, including video and music on demand,
online game playing and the fast exchange of files
with friends and family At work it can vastly
improve marketing and internal processes by
allowing real-time interaction with customers and
colleagues, permanent connection to online
services and continuous access to your e-mail
account
Reliance is taking no chances and is determined
to provide as good as possible service to their customers There are three basic service types, or classifications, that most communications can be categorised by: voice, data and video Today we see most service providers, both telcos and cable companies, delivering only one or two out of the three The telcos that will survive the new communications environment, and especially those that will dominate, will be the ones that learn how
to deliver all three services over a single unified network The basic architecture of this full service network, that will deliver both narrowband and broadband services, is a fibre backbone coupled with the existing copper plant for the last mile This architecture has been specified and is currently being built by the world’s top twenty-one telcos The FSAN consortium is actively pursuing the standardisation and deployment of this narrowband and broadband full service access network Broadband networks enable new applications such as video and audio streaming, which will place extra requirements on infrastructure Networks have to become more intelligent and optimised to hold content near to users and reduce the congestion and delay in retrieving remote content Reliance’s wireline roll-out is well under way and
is expected to have provision for 3 million customers by 2005 Network architecture is a combination of fixed line, wireless and limited mobility It is estimated that A$10 million will be spent in 2003 on copper connectivity alone KRONE India are working closely with Reliance to realise new products that will be developed and allow for further expansion of Reliance’s capabilities India is rapidly becoming a force in the ICT world Software development in India is proving to be one
of their major exportable commodities India’s acceptance and take up of technology is a key contributor to their expansion into the world market This increasing interest in technology is reaching the 150-200 million people with the disposable income that will be looking for broadband in their homes and business
