Hughes Communications receives new NLD license

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

Hughes Communications has received a license to operate and offer National Long Distance Services (NLD) from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India.

Hughes cellular backhaul solutions have been specifically developed for mobile operators to enable cost-effective service expansion into rural markets. These services are delivered by the HCIL Managed Network Services platform. HCIL's solutions provide high quality links while optimizing space segment resource utilization by coupling appropriate satellite technology with intelligent traffic optimization. In addition, HCIL offers end-to-end solutions to mobile operators - including system design, hub installation, technical training and comprehensive support.

K. Krishna, CTO, HCIL said, "Cellular and WiMax operators in India are increasingly looking to expand into rural markets that are often located in difficult-to-serve areas where terrestrial fiber or microwave services are not readily available to support the backhaul links for these remote locations. Satellite, with its ability to rapidly deploy broadband infrastructure, can play a key role in enabling these services. TDMA-based satellite solutions can be especially cost effective for these locations particularly when the traffic is light and/or intermittent. I therefore see this as a triple win situation. Operators can now grow their businesses and build revenue while complying with their universal service obligations (USO). The government also meets its goal of furthering its policy to increase the penetration of technology-in this case, cellular connectivity-throughout the country. And people in remote areas can improve communication to the outside world and enrich their lives. Leveraging our new NLD license, Hughes is committed to being a partner-of-choice to national telecom service providers and helps them cost-effectively optimize their transport networks."
