As India pushes ahead with its digital inclusion drive, broadband infrastructure is being rapidly expanded. Considering that the country’s digital infrastructure is built keeping in mind its long-term utilisation, it is essential that the fibre network being created by BharatNet lasts for at least 30 years to satisfy service level agreements with operators and realise its revenue potential. In order to ensure the long-term success of BharatNet, it is important to adopt better-quality fibre that is less prone to failures, has lower optical power loss, and can be used to extend the reach of the network.
