$\"\"$ NEW DELHI: After Facebook<\/a>, Microsoft<\/a> now wants to play a big role in taking the ‘last mile’ of broadband connections to remote and inaccessible parts of India and providing access to high-speed Internet<\/a>.
\n
The US software giant, headed by Hyderabad-born Satya Nadella<\/a>, has proposed to the telecom department the deployment of its TV White-Space technology for a pilot project in Bangalore.
\n
\nThe radio interface developed by Microsoft functions like Wi-Fi on a bigger scale. It provides wireless connectivity across a 10 km radius, a much larger area than the typical routers set up for commercial use today, and speeds of up to 16 Mbps, eight times faster than what is generally available in most parts of India.
\n
Experts say this technology has been successfully implemented in the US and in Singapore and is being tested in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and the Philippines<\/a>, among others.
\n
\nRedmond, Washington-based Microsoft has discussed the matter with the Wireless Planning & Coordination wing of the telecom department to which it submitted the proposal four weeks ago. The idea is to provide cost-effective connectivity, the company’s India chairman Bhaskar Pramanik told ET.
\n
\nThe TV WhiteSpace technology works on chunks of unused spectrum available in broadcasting bands in the lower frequencies from 200 MHz to 700 MHz. Microsoft is running pilots in Africa and a handful of developed markets using the ‘gap’ between airwaves used by multiple broadcasters.
\n
\nAs part of Microsoft’s efforts to provide digital infrastructure in India, CEO Nadella, during his visit to India last month, announced that the company would also set up three data centres in the country by December 2015. These data centres will enable access to customers in banking and financial services as well as the central and state governments.
\n
\nMany such services are currently legally restrained as they require data to be hosted within the country.
\n
The company hopes to partner the government in new initiatives such as Smart Cities and the Jan Dhan Yojana, apart from Digital India<\/a>, which offer significant opportunity for hosting data and cloud services.
\n
\nThe company’s proposal comes in the light of Nadella’s comments that the major was keen to partner with the Indian government and industry at large to help make the ambitious Digital India vision a reality. The Centre’s Rs 1.13 lakh-crore Digital India initiative envisages delivering e-services such as health and education to every nook and corner of the country over broadband.
\n
\nThe US giant becomes the latest global player that wants to collaborate with the government in itsRs 20,100-crore national broadband project aimed at connecting 2.5 lakh village panchayats through highspeed broadband by 2017. This broadband project — the National Optic Fibre Network — is positioned to form the backbone of the Digital India programme.
\n
\nReaching homes, schools, hospitals and other institutions may require wireless technology, especially in hard-to-reach areas. This is where the technology giants such as Facebook and Microsoft sniff an opportunity to deploy their respective technologies.“I believe TV White-Space can be the affordable answer to last-mile connectivity challenges in India, especially for remote areas that lack electricity and other infrastructure,” Pramanik said. It costs less than Rs 10 lakh to install a WhiteSpace technology router.
\n
\nFor India, Microsoft would make use of as much as 19 per cent of spectrum unused by Doordarshan, the national TV broadcaster, in the sub giga-Hertz band. The technology globally uses gaps between airwaves that are untouched by broadcasters to avoid interference or disturbance between transmissions, according to an expert, who asked not to be identified.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>, who visited India soon after Nadella, reportedly had expressed the company’s desire to deploy alternative technology to provide last-mile connectivity to the national broadband project. \n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":45012795,"title":"WhatsApp user-base crosses 70 million in India","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/whatsapp-user-base-crosses-70-million-in-india\/45012795","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":false}],"related_content":[],"msid":45017956,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Microsoft eyes important role in Digital India mission, aims to widen Internet reach in rural areas","synopsis":"The US software giant has proposed to the telecom department the deployment of its TV White-Space technology for a pilot project in Bangalore.","titleseo":"microsoft-eyes-important-role-in-digital-india-mission-aims-to-widen-internet-reach-in-rural-areas","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_link":"\/author\/479231328\/anandita-singh-mankotia","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479231328.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479231328,"author_name":"Anandita Singh Mankotia","author_seo_name":"anandita-singh-mankotia","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2014-11-03 09:40:18","lastupd":"2014-11-03 10:23:29","breadcrumbTags":["Internet","Philippines","Microsoft","Facebook","Mark Zuckerberg","Satya Nadella","Digital India"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"microsoft-eyes-important-role-in-digital-india-mission-aims-to-widen-internet-reach-in-rural-areas"}}" data-authors="[" anandita singh mankotia"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2014-11-03" data-index="article_1">

新德里:在脸谱网,微软现在想扮演重要角色的“最后一公里”宽带连接到遥不可及的印度部分地区和提供高速互联网。

美国软件巨头,Hyderabad-born为首萨提亚Nadella,提出了电信部门部署的电视空白技术在班加罗尔一个试点项目。

收音机界面由微软开发的功能如wi - fi在更大的范围内。它提供无线连接在一个10公里半径,一个更大的面积比典型的商用路由器设置今天,和16 Mbps的速度,比什么快八倍通常可用在印度的大部分地区。

专家说,这项技术已经成功地实现了在美国和在新加坡和被测试在肯尼亚,坦桑尼亚、南非和菲律宾等等。

雷蒙德,华盛顿的微软已经讨论了无线规划和协调的电信部门四周前提交提案。这个想法是提供具有成本效益的连通性,印度公司的董事长Bhaskar Pramanik告诉等。

电视空白技术适用于大量未使用的频谱可用在较低的频率播放乐队从200兆赫到700兆赫。微软正在运行的飞行员在非洲和一些发达市场使用波段之间的差距由多个广播使用。

作为微软的努力提供数字基础设施在印度,Nadella CEO,上个月访问印度期间,宣布,该公司还将在全国建立三个数据中心,2015年12月。这些数据中心将使客户在银行和金融服务以及中央政府和州政府。

许多这样的服务是目前法律约束,因为他们在国内需要承载数据。

该公司希望政府合作新举措,如智能城市和Jan Dhan Yojana,除了数字印度提供重要的主机数据和云服务的机会。

公司的建议是根据Nadella的言论,主要是希望与印度政府和行业合作来帮助使数字印度雄心勃勃的愿景成为现实。该中心的Rs 1.13 lakh-crore数字印度计划设想提供医疗和教育等电子商务在宽带国家的每一个角落。

美国巨头成为最新的全球参与者,希望与政府合作itsRs 20100卢比的国家宽带项目旨在连接2.5十万的村里2017年通过高速宽带。这个宽带项目——全国光纤网络定位形成数字印度项目的骨干。

实现家庭、学校、医院和其他机构可能需要无线技术,尤其是在偏远地区。这就是科技巨头如Facebook和微软嗅部署各自技术的机会。“我相信电视空白可以负担得起的答案最后一英里连接挑战在印度,尤其是偏远地区缺乏电力和其他基础设施,“Pramanik说。成本不到10 Rs十万的路由器安装一个空白技术。

对印度来说,微软将利用多达19%的频谱Doordarshan未使用,全国电视广播公司,在子giga-Hertz乐队。全球技术利用电波差距没有被广播,以避免干扰或干扰传输之间,据一位专家,他要求不透露姓名。

Facebook首席执行官马克•扎克伯格访问印度,Nadella后不久,据报道表示,公司希望部署替代技术提供最后一英里连接到国家宽带项目。
