New products of C-DOT- XGSPON, C-Sat-Fi & CiSTB launched C-DOT celebrates its 36th Foundation Day
The Government today reiterated its commitment in providing Wi-Fi in all the villages through GramNet with connectivity between 10mbps to 100 mbps speed. Delivering a keynote address at the 36th Foundation Day celebrations of C-DOT here, Minister of State for Communications Shri Sanjay Shamrao Dhotre said that BharatNet also plans to provide 1 GBPS connectivity, which can be expanded up to 10 GBPS and C-DOT’s XGS-PON launched today will help in a great way to achieve this. He said, when India is celebrating 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, this will be a real tribute to Bapu, who had dreamt of a self-reliant Indian village.
Mr Dhotre said that C-Sat-Fi technology of C-DOT will empower Indian People especially in rural and remote areas as telephone and Wi-Fi facilities will be available in all corners of the country on any mobile phone. He said that the new technology will bring people in remote areas to mainstream by connecting them through satellites, where fiber is difficult to be laid and internet is not available.
The Minister launched C-DOT’s latest innovations, “C-Sat-Fi (C-DOTSatellite WiFi”, “XGSPON (10 G Symmetrical Passive Optical Network)” and “C-DOT’s Interoperable Set Top Box (CiSTB).
Speaking on the occasion, the Executive Director of C-DOT Mr Vipin Tyagi said that C-Sat-Fi (C-DOT Satellite WiFi) is based on the optimal utilization of wireless and satellite communication to extend connectivity to the unserved areas including the remote islands and difficult terrains. Besides offering the ease of deployment, the solution is ideally suited to addressing disasters and emergencies when no other means of communication are available, he added. This cost-effective solution does not require the expensive Satellite Phones and can work on any WiFi enabled phone.
Similarly, C-DOT’s XGSPON (10 G Symmetrical Passive Optical Network) is an effective solution to fulfil the rapidly increasing demands of high network speeds emanating from the new dimensions of user applications like IPTV, HD Video Streaming, Online Gaming and host of other cloud based services that necessitate the seamless availability of high bandwidth.
The third innovation, C-DOT’s Interoperable Set Top Box (CiSTB) will prove to be a boon to the dissatisfied customers who cannot change their Cable TV operator in view of the recurring costs of setting and installing the physical infrastructure afresh. Based on a portable smart card like a mobile SIM, this solution will revolutionize the experience of the Cable TV operators by offering them a high degree of choice, ease and convenience without having to replace the once installed STB.
The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), the premier Telecom R&D centre of the Government of India is observing its 36th Foundation Day celebrations on 26-27 August, 2019. This year too, continuing the same tradition, C-DOT held a technical conference as part of GB Meemamsi Lecture Series 2019, wherein several field experts, Telecom veterans and academicians from around the world shared their experiences and discussed innovative ways to address the numerous issues and challenges faced by the technology developers, policy makers and end-users in the new era defined by the all-pervasive “Internet of Things (IoT)”. The conference was jointly organized by C-DOT and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) under the aegis of European Union (EU) funded project on “India-EUCooperation on ICT- Related Standardization, Policy and Legislation” in association with Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI).

सभी गांव ग्रामनेट के जरिये वाई-फाई से जल्द जुड़ेंगे : श्री धोत्रे
सी-डॉट – एक्सजीएसपीओएन, सी-सैट-फाई और सीआईएसटीबी जैसे नए उत्पाद जारी सी-डॉट का 36वां स्थापना दिवस
सरकार ने आज अपनी प्रतिबद्धता दोहराई कि ग्रामनेट के जरिये सभी गांव में वाई-फाई उपलब्ध कराया जाएगा, जिसकी कनेक्टिविटी 10 एमबीपीएस से 100 एमबीपीएस गति के बीच होगी। आज नई दिल्ली में सी-डॉट के 36वें स्थापना दिवस समारोह में संचार राज्य मंत्री श्री संजय शामराव धोत्रे ने मुख्य वक्तव्य देते हुए कहा कि भारतनेट 01 जीबीपीएस कनेक्टिविटी उपलब्ध करा रहा है, जिसे 10 जीबीपीएस तक बढ़ाया जा सकता है। उन्होंने कहा कि आज सी-डॉट के. जारी होने वाले एक्सजीएसपीओएन से इस लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने में बहुत सहायता होगी। उन्होंने कहा कि महात्मा गांधी की 150वीं जयंती पर यह बापू को सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि होगी, जिनका सपना था कि भारत के गांव आत्मनिर्भर बनें।
श्री धोत्रे ने कहा कि सी-डॉट की सी-सैट-फाई प्रौद्योगिकी से भारत के लोग, खासतौर से गांव और दूरदराज के इलाकों में रहने वाले लोगों को फायदा होगा। इसके जरिये उन्हें टेलीफोन और वाई-फाई सुविधाएं मिलेंगी। इस प्रौद्योगिकी से देश के सभी भागों में यह सुविधा सभी मोबाइल फोनों पर उपलब्ध होगी। उन्होंने कहा कि नई प्रौद्योगिकी से सुदूर स्थानों पर रहने वाले लोग उपग्रह के जरिये संपर्कता प्राप्त करके मुख्यधारा में आ जायेंगे।इन स्थानों पर फाइबर लाइन बिछाना कठिन होता है और वहां इंटरनेट उपलब्ध नहीं है। श्री धोत्रे ने सी-डॉट – एक्सजीएसपीओएन, सी-सैट-फाई और सीआईएसटीबी जैसे नए उत्पाद भी जारी किये।
इस अवसर पर सी-डॉट के कार्यकारी निदेशक श्री विपिन त्यागी ने कहा कि सी-सैट-फाई वायरलैस और उपग्रह संचार पर आधारित है, ताकि दुर्गम स्थानों और दूरदराज के इलाकों तक कनेक्टिविटी पहुंचेगी। उन्होंने बताया कि इस सस्ती सुविधा में महंगे सेटेलाइट फोनों की जरूरत नहीं है और यह सुविधा वाई-फाई वाले फोन पर काम करेगी।
समारोह में ईटीएसआई के महानिदेशक श्री लुई जॉर्ज रोमेरो, भारत में यूरोपीय संघ के राजदूत महामहिम श्री रेमंड मैगिस और संचार मत्रांलय के कई वरिष्ठ अधिकारी भी उपस्थित थे।
