BSNL to set up defence telecom network by July 2015


State-run telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is reportedly working to set up an alternative communication network for exclusive use by the Indian defence sector. BSNL is supposed to hand over the network by July 2015. After setting up of the new network, the defence sector is likely to release the 150 MHz of spectrum in frequency range of 1700 MHz to 2000 MHz. .
According to BSNL Chairman and Managing Director RK Upadhyay, the new network uses optical fibre and satellite links and is "is targeted to be completed in three years from Cabinet approval and this works out to July 2015. It's a tight schedule, but BSNL is making all efforts to meet it."
BSNL is likely to begin rolling out the optical fibre cable network across 57,000 kilometres by January 2014. The telco has issued tenders for a 3,000 kilometre OFC network for the navy, which is likely to be ready by the end of next year. The telco plans to issue tenders for satellite network, transmission, microwave radio and networking equipment.
The The Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure had given its nod to Rs 13,334 crore for the defence network project in July 2012. A Times of India report points out the actual valuation of the defence spectrum may differ from the estimate worth of Rs 3.6 lakh crore, based on the market dynamics and government policy.
The recent 2G spectrum auction in 1800 MHz band saw the final price of 5MHz for pan-India was at around Rs. 12,000 crore. Going by this benchmark, the value of 150 Mhz of defence spectrum is estimated at about Rs 3.6 lakh crore.

Dynamic Programming Example

Dynamic programming problem explained and solved using C++. I like programming in general, but the paradigm which appeals to me most is Dynamic programming. Back in 2013, during my college days, I used to  hone my skills by solving problems on CodeChef. But then I got a job and it does not involve a lot of DP. Recently I've realized that I have become clumsy, and too used to the "safe life", hence I've decided to solve DP problems on HackerEarth, the purpose of this blog is to keep me motivated :p Samu and Shopping Samu is in super market and in a mood to do a lot of shopping. She needs to buy shirts, pants and shoes for herself and her family. There are N different shops. Each shop contains all these three items but at different prices. Now Samu has a strategy that she won't buy the same item from the current shop if she had already bought that item from the shop adjacent to the current shop. Now Samu is confused, because although she want to foll

Euclid’s theorem: Proof of Infinitely many primes

Image
Also known as the Euclid’s theorem, the theorem of infinitely many primes is one of the most elegant ones around. I came across it while brushing up on discrete math and had to blog about it. Let's try to explain a proof of this theorem. Before we begin, lets revisit the following things: Any number can be written as a product of prime numbers as stated in the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. The number sets   Here we go! To prove: There are infinite prime numbers Let’s dispute that claim for a second and assume that we know all the prime numbers. Let’s write these as follows: P 1 P 2 P 3 ….P n Lets try to form a new number Q the following way: Q = P 1 x P 2 x P 3 x   ….P n + 1 Now, Q can either be: Prime Non prime Why? Because any natural number > 1 has to be either prime or non prime. If its: Prime, our list was incomplete as there is at least one more prime number and mor

SAP Labs India Interview Experience

This is regarding the selection process of SAP labs for the 2014 batch. The process was divided into two main parts 1: Online Test 2: Interviews Online Test  It had the following sections: Quantitative Aptitude  Basic Programming knowledge ( O.O concepts, Output prediction etc ) English Code ( Candidates had to write code for a problem statement ) Most candidates faced problems in the code section so I advice students to Practice writing code, preferably on Online code editors. Interviews Students who cleared the written round were called for Interviews. There were 4 interviews in total Two technical one Managerial and one Hr. The First Interview The first interviews is to check the basic knowledge of almost all core subjects such as Data Structures,Operating Systems, DBMS etc. O.O Concepts are of particular Importance Questions will be asked on the basics of programming language(s) Of candidate's choice,the candidates are also expected to write co
