As part of this nationwide deployment, Tejas will be delivering its TJ1400 portfolio of next-generation access and aggregation routers. <\/p>\n
The Tata group\u2019s indigenous vendor said that \u201ctens of thousands of these carrier-grade systems\u201d are already operational in high-availability, mission-critical networks. <\/p>\n
Under the latest phase of the BharatNet project, Tejas Networks’ TJ1400 gear will be deployed in nine states \u2013 Bihar, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur \u2013 and five union territories. <\/p>\n
Altogether, Tejas will supply over 50,000 TJ1400 routers for deployment across 57,000 gram panchayats and 2,000 blocks in the country. <\/p>\n
Earlier, a top executive of its homegrown rival HFCL told ETTelecom that the Delhi-based vendor has won deals in 40-45% of the tendered gram panchayats (GPs) and has commenced the supply of optical fibre cable (OFC), IP and routers, as well as power systems and racks through Exicom Tele-Systems. <\/p>\n
BharatNet is a \u20b91.39-lakh crore flagship program by the government of India that seeks to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural communities. <\/p>\n
The objective of the third phase, with a fiscal outlay of nearly \u20b965,000-crore, is to create a robust, reliable, and scalable middle-mile network for BharatNet using IP-MPLS technology to ensure high-quality broadband to every rural citizen. <\/p>\n
“We are delighted to maintain our track record of being a leading telecom equipment partner for BharatNet deployments, as in the previous phases of this prestigious program,\u201d said Sanjay Malik, chief strategy and business officer of Tejas Networks. <\/p>\n
Tejas has partnered with five leading project implementation agencies (PIAs), namely NCC, Polycab, Invenia-STL Networks, GR Infraprojects, and ITI Limited, for the BharatNet Phase III deployment.<\/p>\n
