NEW DELHI: State-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL<\/a>) on Friday selected Israeli satellite transmission firm Novelsat<\/a> to provide high-capacity satellite-based backhaul and broadband services to Lakshadweep, Andaman, and Nicobar Islands under a Universal Service Obligation (USO) project funded by the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT).
The contract was awarded by System Integrator Precision Electronics Ltd<\/a> (PEL) on behalf of BSNL.
Under the partnership, BSNL will use Novelsat’s Xnet Data Hub system for flexibility in its growing network.
The mobile operator will also use Novelsat’s DynamiX technology for dynamic allocation of network resources in MCPC\/Point-to-Multi-Point networks on top of Novelsat’s NS4 waveform for improved network economics, the company said.
Last month, U.S.-based ST Engineering iDirect inked a partnership with BSNL to provide satellite broadband to the Indian islands of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep.
