Tatanet Services Ltd., a subsidiary of NELCO and India’s fastest growing VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) service provider, has successfully established satellite based connectivity solution in collaboration with Vistara, India’s finest full service carrier, for connecting the airline’s airport setup in Leh, Ladakh.
The lack of a stable connectivity in Leh impacts enterprise business applications significantly, affecting customer experience and impairing smooth functioning of the overall business. A reliable connection is imperative as it enables to scale bandwidth as and when required to provide a seamless experience. VSAT has similar installations across remote locations in India such as Port Blair and the North-East.
PJ Nath, MD, NELCO said, “VSAT connectivity is the only means of reliable and predictable connectivity in remotest of remote locations like Leh. Challenging terrain and weather conditions make it impossible for a normal communication and infrastructure solution as a viable option. Our unique solution architecture based on satellite communication ensures that the uncertainty of terrestrial connectivity is completely avoided, making the solution rugged and enterprise class. Collaboration with Vistara was creative and innovative experience where we were able to solve multiple problems by co-creating with Vistara Information Technology division, which will help to overcome many other similar challenges across India for different industries ranging from aerospace, defence, logistics, education, healthcare etc.”
Ravinder Pal Singh, Chief Information & Innovation Officer, Vistara, said, “Leh (Ladakh) has immense potential to boost tourism, but computing infrastructure is a constraint. Vistara’s outlook has been modern and future oriented with Cloud as it core element to infra provisioning. Hence lack of connectivity infrastructure has been a major roadblock. We’re delighted to partner and co-innovate with Tatanet for this new solution, which will help us to provide a seamless experience to customers just as they experience in any other city. The VSAT connectivity goes a step ahead in enabling POS/eCommerce connectivity as well, which ensures smooth, hassle-free digital payment processing unique to Vistara in Leh.”
