Astrome, a women-led startup, has developed an innovative wireless product that gives fibre like bandwidth at fraction of the cost of fibre to help telecom operators deliver reliable low-cost internet services to suburban and rural areas.
Reaching internet access to remote places in countries like India is difficult because laying fibre is too expensive. There is a need for wireless backhaul products that can deliver low cost, high data capacity, and wide reach. Currently available wireless backhaul products either do not provide sufficient data speeds or the required range or are very expensive to deploy.
Astrome’s wireless product, called `Giga Mesh, could enable telecom operators deploy quality, high-speed rural telecom infrastructure at 5 times lower cost. Rural connectivity customers and defence customers who have already signed up for pilots will soon witness the demonstration of this product by Astrome.
