Last Mile Connectivity (Local Loop)

In the early 90s, the IT industry was growing and the demand for bandwidth was huge. While international bandwidth was available, there was a shortfall in the last-mile connectivity. To address the last mile connectivity challenges, STPI provided Microwave network catering to the immediate needs of the customers. This network was further strengthened by the addition of Point-to-Point radio networks enabling the delivery of a 2 Mbps or more bandwidth over the last mile.

STPI uses the latest software tools to design the microwave link and the same is tested in-house before implementation. Over a period, STPI microwave network has evolved to be one of the biggest microwave networks in use for data communication and has now become a true multi-vendor network.

During the post-millennium era, private operators participated in this segment and delivery of services through copper and fibre based last mile connectivity has become a reality. STPI has established a collaboration with all major service providers such as BSNL, Bharti etc. to service last mile over copper and fibre. With the last mile on copper / fibre there is considerable improvements in quality of service such as reduced delay, multiple redundancy options etc. The last mile service providers have designed the last mile in such a manner that the fibre is extended very near to the customer premises. This ensures that the last mile connectivity to the customer premises is only a few meters. The fibre Mux of all the service providers mentioned above are located at STPI NOC, which reduces the provisioning time and increases the efficiency in case of troubleshooting.
