islands.On 10 April 2012, Airtel launched 4G services through dongles and modems using TD-LTE
technology in Kolkata, becoming the first company in India to offer 4G services.
From each corner of india except andaman and nicobar islands everyone enjoyed 4G network.
But then also they are not satisfied with this and want 5G.

We are talking about going to mars,but unable to provide 4G connectivity to our people.
No one thought about andaman and nicobar with was facing connectivity problems and were 10 years
behind from rest of the world.
So,after years of struggling with slow internet speeds, the Andaman and Nicobar islands
are finally integrated into the country’s 4G network with an investment of Rs 1,224 crore undersea
cable project connecting the islands to mainland.

Prime minister Narendra Modi on 10 August inaugrated this project.

between Chennai and Port Blair, and 200 Gbps between Port Blair and other islands will be delivered.
The 2,313 kilometre submarine optical fiber cable will connect seven islands of the Andaman and Nicobar
archipelago, other than the capital city of Port Blair. That includes Swaraj Deep (Havelock island),
Long Island, Rangat, Little Andaman, Kamorta, Car Nicobar, and Greater Nicobar.

After hearing this news. airtel grap the opportunity
and announced it will be the first company to bring 4g connectivity.

The new fiber link marks a major milestone in India’s digital transformation journey as this
critical infrastructure reaches the strategic archipelago,” said Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman,
Bharti Airtel.

How it will affect people of Andaman and Nicobar?

People of these islands felt isolated as they were not connected to rest of the world.
Just think about 10 years back how we were watching videos on youtube with a lot of buffering,
but now we internet get slow for 1 minute also we get angry or say how much frustrated
we become on that 5 seconds advertisements.
This will not only connect them to rest of the world,but it will help them to know
what is going on in this world.

Like rest of india,now Students of these islands could get better education and it will help to
bring them close to new technology.With the help of internet what cannot be done, this initative will
provide them opportunites to make a better future for themselves.

Andaman and Nicobar islands support the tourism industry of the place.
Earlier tourist had a horrible experience due to network issues.Connectivity was such a big issue
that cant even open google maps,but this project will boost tourism.
