With this solution, India will now have access to a ubiquitous fabric of connectivity for millions of yet unconnected machines, sensors and industrial IoT devices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This new \u2018Made in India\u2019 Solution, which is indigenously developed by Skylo, will connect with BSNL\u2019s satellite ground infrastructure and provide PAN-India coverage, including Indian seas. The coverage will be so vast that it will not leave any dark patch within the boundary of India, from Kashmir &amp;Ladakh to Kanyakumari, and from Gujarat to the North East, including the Indian seas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>P.K.Purwar, CMD, BSNL<\/strong>, said,\u201cThe solution is in line with BSNL\u2019s vision to leverage technology to provide affordable and innovative telecom services and products across customers segments\u201d.He further added:\u201cSkylo would also help provide critical data for the logistics sector to enable\u00a0effective distribution of COVID-19vaccine in 2021and will be a big contributor in service to the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Parthsarathi Trivedi, CEO and Co-founder, Skylo,<\/strong>\u00a0said, \u201cFor centuries, industries, including agriculture, railways and fisheries, have been operating offline, and have\u00a0not had the opportunity to take full advantage of the latest advancements in AI\u00a0&amp; IoT\u2013 until today. This is the\u00a0world\u2019s first satellite-based NB-IoT network and I am proud to launch this capability\u00a0in India first to transform lives and our domestic industries\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Vivek Banzal, Director (CFA), BSNL Board<\/strong>, said, \u201cSuccessful POCs have already been conducted by BSNL and Skylo in India and we will soon approach various user groups before the New Year 2021 begins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This breakthrough announcement is very timely because it comes during the ongoing Indian Mobile Congress 2020. This new technology supports the Department of Telecom and NITI Aayog\u2019s plan of bringing indigenous IoT connectivity to India\u2019s core sectors. Examples of where this technology has already been\u00a0tested successfully\u00a0include, Indian Railways, fishing vessels, and enabling connected vehicles across India.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A small, smart, incredibly rugged box, the Skylo \u2018User Terminal \u2019interfaces with sensors and transmits data to the Skylo Network and into people\u2019s hands. The accompanying Data Platform provides an immersive, visual, experience for industry-specific applications on mobile or desktop. It gives users the ability to take immediate and appropriate action, no matter where they are. This new digital machine connectivity layer will serve as a complement to smartphone-centric mobile &amp; Wi-Fi networks, and covers India\u2019s full geography to bring online new applications for the first time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bhubaneswar, 10\/12\/2020 ( Odisha Samachar \/ Abhishek Mohanty)-\u00a0BSNL, in partnership with Skylo\u00a0tech India, announced today a breakthrough in satellite-based NB-IoT (Narrow Band-Internet of Things), in pursuance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision of a truly Digital India \u2014 starting with\u00a0fishermen, farmers, construction, mining\u00a0and logistics\u00a0enterprises.
