BENGALURU: Astrome, a Bengaluru startup incubated at the Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc) Society of Innovation and Development (SID), has completed its first successful deployment of the indigenously developed product GigaMesh in rural Karnataka to enable 4G and 5G connectivity.The deployment took place from Sompura gram panchayat (GP) to Nidavanda village in the Bengaluru Rural district.GigaMesh is an E-band radio with multiple-point-to-point (Multi-P2P) connectivity, making it the most cost-effective way to distribute fibre bandwidth wirelessly.Astrome said in a statement that a single GigaMesh at a GP can connect to multiple surrounding villages, resulting in a significant cost advantage.
The teachers of a Bengaluru-based not-for-profit E-Vidyaloka used the internet at the school to provide online sessions to the students.We are so proud to see the first deployment under the USOF (Universal Service Obligation Fund) agreement being acknowledged, said Neha Satak, founder-CEO of Astrome.We have managed to provide high-speed internet to Nidavanda village by doing so and are looking forward to more such successful deployments in the future.Astrome was given a contract to provide broadband, 4G, and 5G internet service to rural areas using BharatNet fibre.
