BSNL, in partnership with Skylotech India, on Thursday announced a breakthrough in satellite-based NB-IoT (Narrowband-Internet of Things), in pursuance of Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision of a Digital India — starting with fishermen, farmers, and construction, mining and logistics enterprises.
With this solution, India will now have access to a ubiquitous fabric of connectivity for millions of yet unconnected machines, sensors and industrial IoT devices.This new ‘Made in India’ solution, which is indigenously developed by Skylo, will connect with BSNL’s satellite ground infrastructure and provide PAN-India coverage, including the Indian seas. The coverage will be so vast that it will not leave any dark patch within the boundary of India, from Kashmir and Ladakh to Kanyakumari, and from Gujarat to the Northeast, including the Indian seas.P.K. Purwar, CMD, BSNL, said: “The solution is in line with BSNL’s vision to leverage technology to provide affordable and innovative telecom services and products across customers segments.”
