Tejas to supply GPON based fiber-broadband products to Indian defence network project

A purchase order, worth Rs. 66 crores, has been bagged by networking products provider Tejas Networks from Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Construction.

This deal empowers Tejas Networks to supply its GPON based fibre-broadband products and high-performance Metro Ethernet switches for an Indian defence network project.

The order was received during the last quarter and the first set of supplies have started this quarter.

According to Sanjay Nayak, Managing Director and CEO of Tejas Networks,  said, "It is a matter of great pride that our designed and made in India GPON OLT/ONT products and Metro Ethernet switches will be deployed in this strategic network. This win reinforces our technology strengths and credibility as a trusted provider of defence communication equipment to tri-services since we have earlier supplied our DWDM and Layer-3 Multi-Gigabit Ethernet switches for the Indian Navy network and our Layer-2 Gigabit Ethernet switches for the Indian Air Force network. With over 10,000 nodes installed in various defence networks across India, we have demonstrated that we are making great progress towards realizing the vision of "Atmanirbhar Bharat" for secured communication infrastructure."
