The
Indian Air Force Friday launched a 3G network for its staff, becoming the first
among the forces to have a 3G network.
The
network, named AFCEL (Air Force Cellular), will provide a secure 3G network for
communication to air force staff.
"We
are taking a quantum leap forward in our quest to provide mobile and secure
"end-point" connectivity to air warriors deployed across the length
and breadth of our country," Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne said after
the launch of the first phase of the network.
"AFCEL
will facilitate real-time exchange of information in the ever dynamic
operational environment that we operate in," he said.
This
technological advancement will provide for a secure network enabling voice,
data, video streaming and file sharing, enhancing and facilitating
communication for the IAF.
While
Phase I of the project will ensure mobile connectivity to all air warriors in
the National Capital Region, Phase II will cover the rest of the bases.
IAF
already has Air Force Network (AFNet), which is IAF owned, operated and
managed, and gigabyte digital information grid, which was launched in 2010,
replacing the older system of communication.
Hope you
