Sterlite Power completes Gurugram Smart City optical fibre intra-city project

Power transmission company, Sterlite Power has announced that the company’s Convergence Business has completed its Gurugram Smart City project for creating an intracity fiber network for the city’s communication needs.

The company’s Convergence Business had entered a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) to build, manage, and maintain the fiber network in Gurugram sub city 2 for 21 years.

In this project, Sterlite Power, says, has installed four underground ducts that carry fibers connecting all the Bus stops, Schools, Police stations, Government buildings along with various private buildings.

The company has informed that two ducts among these are dedicated to Gurugram smart city’s operation and the other two can be commercially used by communication service providers.

The entire route is updated through Geographic Information System (GIS) along with an integrated fiber monitoring system for proactive monitoring as well as preventive and corrective maintenance.

Sterlite Power believes that this Public-Private Partnership has created a world-class optical fiber infrastructure to place Gurugram smart city at par with global standards. Apparently, it provides fiber connectivity to GMDA’s ICCC (Integrated Command and Control Centre), which served as Gurugram’s Covid-19 war room for distribution of food and relief material.
