AGENDA POINTS FOR AFNET Review Meeting

SL No UNIT Point for Discussion CNTx- NER point

Availability of Single PoP POP-Il corning from Dergaon is unserviceable
1 10 WG (Jorhat) Patchwork initiated. Tender Floated
due to multiple cuts during national highway expansion work.

Digaru AF is connected in ring via two different routes namely Panbazar-Dispur-Satgaon-

Single point of fallure. Dispur and Satgoan are connected to single node Digaru-Sonapur-Dispur-Panbazar.
2 51ASP (Digaru) at Panbazar This has become single point for merging for both PoPs Any Panbazar-Dispur is connected in ring via 2 different cables One cable via GS road and other
failure at Panbazar results in total communication failure and has been a via Ulubari(3G) cable.
major concern for the Station Dispur-Sonapur is running via DWDM which is in OIL fiber.

Tezpur-Gogamukh section :: Maintained by the CNTx and most of the portions are in RING
and as such no issue
- Gogamukh- DM Range :: Overhead portion is available , maintained by SSA - Tezpur-
(a) Overhead OFC 10 MBPS link between AF Station, Tezpur to DM Range Itanagar : No issue
and ALG Ziro is overhead. - Itanagar-Ziro : Maintained by Itanagar SSA. Frequent breaks take place in this section
3 11WG (Tezpur)

(b) Overhead OFC Between Mission Chariali Exchange (Tezpur) to 5 TAC

Equipment Room. The route traverses through several trees, roads and SSA Cable. Overhead cable is maintained by the SSA
railway lines.

a) Unreliability OF POP ROUTE- Analysing the past records of last 2-3

years, it has been observed that POP-1 OFC route from Kumbhirgram The said route Silchar OCB to Kumbhirgram (via Dewan, Rajabazar, Pailapool and Baskandi)
Exchange to Silchar OCB (via Dewan Rajabazar, Pailapool and Baskhandi) belongs to Silchar BA.
was subject to frequent cuts due to APDCL/PWD/JIO fiber digging works.
4 22WG
(Khumbhigram)
Apart from PGCIL network connectivity project wing of CNTx NER Silchar executing OFC laying
(b) Single Point of Failure (Silchar to Guwahati). As per route diagram for work from Badarpur to Shillong in NFS 2097 colaying. The said work is presently stopped due
AFNET connectivity at this station, all the four STM-1 links follow a single to vendor(M/s ITI limited) issue which is anticipated to be resumed soon. The old 24F cable of
PGCIL media route from Silchar OCB to Guwahati.
Shilchar - Shillong is completely damaged in road expansion activity.

(a) Last Mile Connectivity. One pair of spare OFC each from both PoPs
(Tinsukia and Dibrugarh respectively) for monitoring of last mile
connectivity may be indentified and extended to Site-I and Site-ll of AF
Stn Dinjan
5 21FBSU (Dinjan)
At present not possible to provide one pair of Spare fiber from each (i.e from Tinsukia and
Dibrugarh) to site-I & II since the main OFC b/w Tinsukia - Dibrugarh is very old 12F, fully
utilized. New OFC planned.
5 21FBSU (Dinjan)
(b) Sharing of common PoP route by three Air Force Units Air Force b. Sharing of common PoP route by three Airforce units: As per your requisition we have seen
Station Chabua and Air Force Station Mohanbari STM-1 links are routed the present (routing) arrangement is the best & reliable possibilities the circuits
through Dinja

Dibrugarh POP- Dinjan –Mohanbari-Dibrugarh :- Spare currently not available due to heavy
power loss in OFC Cable,major parts are damaged due to Road Extension, Drain Construction,
Common failure of STM-1 link on Dibrugarh PoP When OFC cut between Water pipe line layout under the Pradhan mantri Jal yojna Scheme and Bridge construction
6 42WG (Mohanbari) Mohanbari and Dibrugarh results in outage of three STM-1 links (EAC, work near Lahuwal.
SHPK & JHT-1) simultaneously There will take some time to rectify those parts of cable which is damaged. After rectification
of OFC spare fiber will be available.

Dinjan -Chabua- Dibrugarh:-Dinjan AF to Chabua AF section will be available after some

maintenance of the cable. Dinjan to Dibrugarh section will not available because of Chabua to
Dibrugarh is 12F Cable which is utilised by BSNL services. AF Chabua-AF Dinjan-AF
Mohanbari is working in Ring as shown in fig.1. At the time of installation of equipment at AF
Dinjan is Planned ADM instead of MADM.so, Mohanbari- Jorhat 1, Chabua Jorhat 1, dropped
Overhead OFC. Dibrugarh PoP is running over head inside the campus. It
7 14WG (Chabua) is to be placed underground at Dinjan site -II and by Air force dark fibre connected to Dinjan Site-I, in a STM-1 level.
Purpose of doing this during failure of Dibrugarh-Mohanbari OFC and Dibrugarh-Chabua
section OFC, AF Mohanbari and AF Chabua station could not Isolate. AF Chabua-AF
Dinjan-AF Mohanbari is working in Ring as shown in fig.1. At the time of installation of
equipment at AF Dinjan is Planned ADM instead of MADM. There is two line card in a ADM
so, Tinsukia POP both Fibre terminated at AF dinjan site-I.

(a) OFC Layout Missamari-Rangapara POP, approximate 1.2 Km OFC was

exposed at 13 locations near various points like bridges (350 Mtrs from Missamari-Rangapara POP cable was cut at several locations due to culvert
construction/Road widening work. There are 9-10 culverts at this section and approximate
Ghabru Bridge to Govt School) and culverts, which may result in frequent
8 825SU (Missamari) 50/60m OH OFC is used at every culvert. (Patch work is initiated)
OFC cuts and hamper the operations.

(b) Overhead OFC Approx 800 Mtrs OFC is overhead from AF Campus
perimeter wall to Indomitable Officers Mess gate Cable was cut at multiple locations due to Sewage Pipeline Work. (Patch work is initiated)

(a) Overhead OFC OFC overhead inside area Army Exchange to 11 TAC In military campus, OFC section is maintained by SSA
(Appox 2 Km)

9 11TAC (Dimapur) Dimapur is now working Via Jorhat and also PGCIL media is available between Dimapur –
(b) Single point failure Jorhat and Guwahati link in one OFC cable no Guwahati. Cable between Dimapur – Nagaon is damaged due to Road Widening work. New
redundancy of both link laying can be done after completion of Road widening work. However Dimapur – Jorhat link is
protected via PGCIL media.
