Jul, 2015 : WhiteSpace Alliance to Host Global Summit in New Delhi


📅 - Delivering on the Promise of “Digital India”: WhiteSpace Alliance Collaboration with Indian Government to Deliver Broadband Services

The WhiteSpace Alliance (WSA) ®, a global industry organization enabling sharing of underutilized spectrum, announced today that it will host its Global Summit on 26-27 October, 2015 in New Delhi, India. The conference is titled “Delivering on the Promise of “Digital India”: How Sharing of TV Band Spectrum is Enabling Broadband Services”.

WhiteSpace Alliance is working closely with the Government of India in its groundbreaking “Digital India” initiative. India has made major investments to implement its National Optical Fiber Network (NOFN) as a high performance backbone network connecting hundreds of Gram Panchayats, local administrative entities providing a wide range of basic services to millions of citizens. Now, the Ministry of Communications is collaborating with WSA and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) in commercial pilots to provide “middle mile” connectivity to enable next-generation services such as Digital Inclusion, e-Health and e-Education.

The WSA Summit will describe plans and results of these whitespace deployments in India. Participating equipment vendors and service providers will share lessons learned, and senior government officials and global regulators will discuss implications for future implementation.

“Providing Internet access to underserved populations is critical for growth in the New Millennium. India is committed to bringing those economic benefits to its 1.3 billion citizens,” said Dr. Apurva N. Mody, Chairman of WhiteSpace Alliance. “WSA is collaborating enthusiastically with the Government to demonstrate how whitespace solutions can deliver broadband services reliably and cost-efficiently to realize the “Digital India” vision.”
