Bhubaneswar Smart City floats tender for leasing OFC network

The Bhubaneswar Smart City (BSCL) has issued a request for a proposal to lease out its underground optical fibre cable (OFC) network to licensed internet service providers. The move will help BSCL generate revenue in addition to providing citizens with better internet service. BSCL has set a goal of laying 680 km of OFC network, of which more than 550 km have been completed and 501 km have been successfully tested. The underground OFC network will help keep the city clean and provide seamless internet connectivity for all on-field smart elements such as CCTV cameras, PAS speakers, Dynamic Message Sign Boards (DMS) etc.
