Hughes India To Connect Police Stations Across Jharkhand

Hughes Communications India, Ltd. (HCIL), a subsidiary of Hughes Network Systems, LLC (Hughes), has announced that it has been chosen by NIIT Technologies to connect police stations across the state of Jharkhand under the prestigious Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS) project, a mission-mode project part of
India’s National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), one of India’s largest e-Governance initiatives. The equipment order value is Rs 16.7 million with a 4 Mbps recurring bandwidth requirement.

The project will link the State and National Crime Records Bureaus, creating a central records database that can be accessed in real-time from any police station across the country, greatly enhancing police efficiency in the detection and prevention of crimes. HCIL will provision the network with the assistance of a service provider (engaged centrally by MHA/NCRB), providing multicast and unicast satellite IP connectivity to 400 locations across the state using high performance and robust Hughes broadband satellite terminals.
