Ixia becomes network validation partner of Broadband Wireless Consortium of India


With an eye to expanding its involvement in the deployment of national wireless and wireline networks, Ixia announced its intention to join the Broadband Wireless Consortium of India (BWCI,) a national forum that gathers major players in the Indian telecom industry to discuss many aspects of broadband wireless access.

Ixia will help BWCI develop technologies that improve the performance, standardization, and deployment of broadband wireless access. The collaboration intends to deploy high-performing, stable, and secure broadband wireless infrastructures in India.

Ixia offers numerous services to companies around the world, such as optimizing 3G and 4G/LTE infrastructures for Carrier companies, testing network and data center resiliency for enterprises, improving security and training cyber warriors on behalf of the government, and aiding equipment manufacturers in speeding up the development of next-generation devices.

The Indian telecom industry can use Ixia solutions test and enhance how their converged, wireless, and wireline networks perform.

In a recent statement, Professor Bhaskar Ramamurthi, the chairman of BWCI and Honorary Director of CEWiT, explained that Ixia will be of great assistance in investigating new wireless technologies and finding solutions to their challenges.

India looks into becoming a teleport hub

India’s Information and Broadcasting Ministry is focused on its goal of making the subcontinent one of the leading teleport hubs in the globe. Experts in the telecommunications industry has been consulted to help transform the industry to make India a robust center for satellite TV uplinks and downlinks, instead of solely relying on other hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong. 

The I&B is already working on a road map that will take into considerations the challenges India will face in its goal. According to the Ministry Secretary Uday Kumar Varma, if the country manages to become a teleport hub, foreign investments are expected to increase alongside the improvement of technology that could also positively impact content generation. Varma also stressed other benefits like a surge in employment opportunities in the broadcast sector.

3G Connected ATM's in India from Cisco

Networking giant Cisco is offering a new technology to help reduce the cost of deploying Automated Teller Machine's in remote regions in India. The 'Connected ATM Solution' makes use of 3G and CMDA networks, instead of the usual VSAT and CMDA options. 

According to Sanjay Kharade, Cisco India and SAARC Senior Vice President, the use of cellular technology provides for a more secure back-up solution in remote sites while bringing down the costs. VSAT powered ATM's cost between 30,000 to 40,000 rupee as compared to the 15,000-20,000 rupee per site for machines relying on 3G and CMDA connectivity.

The cellular technology also provides more bandwidth allowing for more mobile applications to be installed. They are also easier to deploy.

Kharade is hopeful in the next two years Cisco will be powering at least 2o to 30 percent of the new ATM deployments.
