He said that the new technology will bring people in remote areas to\nmainstream by connecting them through satellites, where fiber is difficult to\nbe laid and internet is not available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister launched C-DOT\u2019s latest innovations, \u201cC-Sat-Fi\n(C-DOTSatellite WiFi\u201d, \u201cXGSPON (10 G Symmetrical Passive Optical Network)\u201d and\n\u201cC-DOT\u2019s Interoperable Set Top Box (CiSTB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on the occasion, the Executive Director of C-DOT Mr\nVipin Tyagi said that C-Sat-Fi (C-DOT Satellite WiFi) is based on the optimal\nutilization of wireless and satellite communication to extend connectivity to\nthe unserved areas including the remote islands and difficult terrains. Besides\noffering the ease of deployment, the solution is ideally suited to addressing\ndisasters and emergencies when no other means of communication are available,\nhe added. This cost-effective solution does not require the expensive Satellite\nPhones and can work on any WiFi enabled phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, C-DOT\u2019s XGSPON (10 G Symmetrical Passive Optical\nNetwork) is an effective solution to fulfil the rapidly increasing demands of\nhigh network speeds emanating from the new dimensions of user applications like\nIPTV, HD Video Streaming, Online Gaming and host of other cloud based services\nthat necessitate the seamless availability of high bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third innovation, C-DOT\u2019s Interoperable Set Top Box\n(CiSTB) will prove to be a boon to the dissatisfied customers who cannot change\ntheir Cable TV operator in view of the recurring costs of setting and\ninstalling the physical infrastructure afresh. Based on a portable smart card\nlike a mobile SIM, this solution will revolutionize the experience of the Cable\nTV operators by offering them a high degree of choice, ease and convenience\nwithout having to replace the once installed STB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), the\npremier Telecom R&amp;D centre of the Government of India is observing its 36th\nFoundation Day celebrations on 26-27 August, 2019.
