India's first FTTH service introduced in Jaipur
Jaipur: In an attempt to offer better video and data services, Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) has unveiled the Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) service in Jaipur, for the first time in India. While 68 buildings have already been provided fibre connectivity in the city, work is in progress at about 200 buildings and complexes. Jointly launched by BSNL and AKSH Optifibre, the service will provide multiplay services with high definition content for its 35,000-plus customers in six districts of Rajasthan: Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Ajmer, Kota and Alwar. The FTTH network has been built on the Gigabyte Passive Optical Technology. With the launch of this technology, BSNL would be able to offer high-speed broadband access up to 1000 Mbps and a plethora of services based on Triple Play (voice-video-data) services like IPTV, HDTV, 3DTV, video on demand, bandwidth on demand, video conferencing, interactive gaming, and several other value added services. The optic fibre technology, which replaces traditional copper-line with optical fibre, also called the last mile connectivity,' can deliver world-class Triple Play experience to the consumers.
