The recently released Draft National Digital Communications Policy 2018 (NDCP) by the Department of Telecommunications is also in keeping with the vision of Digital India. There has been a spurt in the number of mobile broadband users in the last one year. As the draft NDCP points out: over 200 million Indians used social media, mobile banking and digital payment platforms in 2017. The NDCP report details further: \u201cAt the current pace of digitization and digitalization, it is estimated that India\u2019s digital economy has the potential to reach one trillion USD by 2025.\u201d<\/p>
With this rapid pace of growth, it is crucial that all stakeholders, including state governments, service providers and those offering digital services work towards making digital technologies accessible to people from all walks of life. Such efforts to reach this goal are already in the works. In the NDCP, \u201cConnect India\u201d outlines how much broadband coverage should be available to users across India from individuals to major institutions such as schools. For those who live in remote areas that have never had the network infrastructure to allow them to connect to the internet, the Indian government has set up the BharatNet project, an initiative to expand broadband connectivity into rural areas.<\/p>
These initiatives to expand broadband as part of the Digital India campaign, will require that service provider networks be optimized to not only support increasing numbers of users coming online, but ensure a quality experience as individuals and organizations interact with more and more digital applications. Present day TDM-based networks lack the capability to address this growth of mobile data subscribers and maintain an ideal user experience. Indian service providers will have to focus on integrating more fibre to lay the foundation for more robust, scalable and future-ready network infrastructure.<\/p>
Turning the vision of Digital India into a reality<\/strong><\/p> As more and more Indians utilize digital applications to accomplish their day-to-day tasks, it is vital that service providers have in place a network with the speed, reliability and intelligence to support and respond to user demand.<\/p> Perhaps the most significant issue faced by the network operators is that they require a network that can support the two major objectives of draft NDCP that have two different goals. As referenced earlier, one of these objectives is the Connect India initiative to increase access to broadband to India\u2019s rural communities. This involves implementing network infrastructure to support base broadband access to groups that have never been able to connect to the internet. On the contrary, the goal of Propel India is to establish a network to support new and futuristic technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT and 5G.<\/p> To achieve these objectives, networks that can respond intuitively to the varying demands from different sections of the Indian market is key.<\/p> The Adaptive Network Approach<\/strong><\/p> Supporting Digital India requires a new approach for network deployment and management. The adaptive network, which leverages analytics and programmable infrastructure, to build a more flexible, agile and resilient network.<\/p> An adaptive network involves three elements: programmable infrastructure, analytics and automation and software control. The analytics collects network data on various parameters empowering service providers to gather data on the network. The second aspect is implementation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) service providers can simplify end-to-end management and automate the network services. The third pillar of adaptive network is a programmable packet and optical infrastructure that can be configured through common open interfaces. It can export real-time network performance data and then intelligently modify its resources in keeping with the market demand.<\/p> This approach will allow the India\u2019s service providers to transform their networks to start their journey towards adaptive networks by incorporating automation for enhanced operational efficiency and migrate legacy infrastructure to packet-based services in access\/edge for complete network transformation.<\/p> An adaptive network is geared to not just allow service providers to cope with the changing market realities but also to enable them to thrive and maximize the market opportunities. A smarter, agile and an adaptive network will ensure that the Indian service providers are able to meet all the wide-ranging objectives of draft NDCP 2018.<\/p>","blog_img":"","featured":0,"status":"Y","seo_title":"Digital India will require an adaptive network","seo_url":"digital-india-will-require-an-adaptive-network","cms_link":"digital-india-will-require-an-adaptive-network\/3091","updated_at":"2018-06-18 12:58:08","time":"2018-06-18 12:58:08","authors":[{"author_name":"Ryan Perera","author_description":"Country Head, Ciena","author_designation":"Country Head","author_company":"Ciena","profile_pic":"retail_files\/pic_author_1397028788_temp.jpg"}],"tags":["digital india","india","internet","networks","iot"],"url_seo":"digital-india-will-require-an-adaptive-network"}">
自适应网络不仅仅是为了允许服务提供者来应对变化的市场现实,但也使他们茁壮成长和市场机会最大化。 大约四年前推出,数字印度与愿景”开始转变呢印度成一个数字授权社会和知识经济。“这是振奋人心的数字印度的视力已经开始成形。 最近发布的2018年国家数字通信政策草案(NDCP)电信部也符合印度的数字。已经有一个移动宽带用户的数量在过去的一年。NDCP草案指出:超过2亿印度人使用社交媒体、移动银行和数字在2017年支付平台。NDCP报告细节进一步指出:“以目前的速度数字化和数字化,据估计,印度的数字经济有可能在2025年达到一万亿美元。” 这种快速的增长速度,它是至关重要的,所有的利益相关者,包括政府、服务提供者和那些提供数字化服务工作可以访问数字技术对各行各业的人。这样的努力达到这个目标已经在计划中了。NDCP,“连接印度”概述了多少宽带覆盖率应可供用户在印度个人主要机构如学校。对于那些住在偏远地区,从来没有使它们连接到网络基础设施互联网,印度政府已经建立了BharatNet项目,一项宽带连接扩展到农村地区。 这些措施扩大宽带作为数字印度运动的一部分,要求服务提供者网络优化不仅支持越来越多的用户上网,但确保质量的经验作为个人和组织与越来越多的数字应用程序交互。今天TDM-based网络缺乏能力解决这个移动数据用户的增长和维持一个理想的用户体验。印度服务提供商必须专注于整合更多的纤维为更健壮的奠定基础,可伸缩和future-ready网络基础设施。 把数字印度的愿景变成现实 随着越来越多的印第安人利用数字应用程序完成日常任务,至关重要,需要服务提供者在网络的速度、可靠性和情报支持和响应用户需求。 网络运营商面临的最重要的问题是,他们需要一个网络,可以支持NDCP草案的两个主要目标有两个不同的目标。正如前面提到的,这些目标之一是印度计划增加获得宽带连接到印度的农村社区。这涉及到实现宽带接入的网络基础设施,以支持基地组织,从来没有能够连接到互联网。相反,推动印度的目标是建立一个网络,以支持新的和未来的技术,如人工智能,物联网和5克。 为了实现这些目标,网络可以直观地反应不同部分的不同要求印度市场是关键。 自适应网络的方法 支持数字印度需要一个网络部署和管理的新方法。自适应网络,利用分析和可编程的基础设施,建立一个更加灵活,敏捷和有弹性的网络。 一种自适应网络包括三个要素:可编程的基础设施,分析和自动化和软件控制。各种参数的分析收集网络数据授权服务提供者在网络上收集数据。第二方面是实现软件定义网络(SDN)和网络功能的虚拟化(NFV)服务提供者可以简化端到端管理和自动化的网络服务。自适应网络是一个可编程序包的第三大支柱和光学基础设施,可以通过公共开放的接口配置。它可以出口实时网络性能数据,然后明智地修改它的资源符合市场需求。 这种方法将允许印度服务提供商将他们的网络开始他们的旅程对自适应网络,通过融合自动化提高运作效率和迁移传统基础设施来分组服务访问/边缘完整网络转换。 自适应网络不仅仅是为了允许服务提供者来应对变化的市场现实,但也使他们茁壮成长和市场机会最大化。一个更聪明,敏捷和一种自适应网络将确保印度服务提供商能够满足所有的广泛目标草案NDCP 2018。
