Calls didn’t connect in Andaman & Nicobar Islands due to poor connectivity. CANI cable system has provided the residents access to broadband, enabling them to access better services.
Seamless connectivity has become
imperative, given the increasing dependence on the internet. NEC
India has laid the Chennai Andaman Nicobar (CANI) optical fiber network to
remove the bottlenecks in seamless connectivity.
Before the launch of CANI cable, the incidences of call drops were frequent. In addition to this, residents of the islands could not access many of the facilities that are widely accessible elsewhere. They were not able to use e-commerce platforms, and telemedicine was not an option available to them.
After the launch of the submarine optical system,
the life of the islanders has undergone a vast change. The internet speed that
was available earlier was just 1 Gbps. The launch of the sub-sea optical cable
network has allowed them to access broadband. An ease of living never seen
earlier is being experienced by them.
The cable network has opened up
opportunities for business owners. They have been able to reduce the cost of operations.
Now, they needn’t open offices on the mainland in order to cater to the
customers and clients.
There were many challenges faced
by students before the CANI project was launched. They were not able to access
the resources available online. After the launch of the cable network, they are
now able to take online classes. Owing to this, they needn’t travel to the
mainland to avail the coaching facility.
Local businesses like shops and outlets have also grown because of the project. The increased connectivity has made the use of online payment solutions possible.
The hyper-connectivity has opened
the scope for telemedicine. Sharing of reports, especially with inter-island
patients, has become easier. Consulting doctors has become easier for those
living in remote corners.
