Nepal connect optical fiber to China

Share:


Marking Ceremony of China-Nepal Interconnection between China Telecom Global (CTG) and Nepal Telecom (NT) was hung on December seventh, 2016 at a formal program in Hong Kong. This new inking of an arrangement has authoritatively finished Nepal's reliance on India for worldwide information and voice movement. With this new understanding, China Telecom Global will give IP benefits in Nepal through recently propelled earthly link course associating two countries by means of Jilong-Rasuwa Gateway. 


Boss Technical Officer of NT Lochan Lal Amatya and Executive Vice President of CTG Ou Yan consented to this arrangement at a formal program in Hong Kong, yesterday. This assertion has made it workable for Nepal to buy Internet Bandwidth from intrigued Chinese firms. As of not long ago, unique organizations from India and different nations were pitching data transfer capacity to Internet Service Providers in Nepal.

June 12, 2016: Nepal Telecom, the legislature possessed telco has effectively directed tests on the optical fiber interface built up amongst Nepal and the Northern neighbor China. It's China Telecom on the Chinese side through which Nepal will be associated with the world by means of Hongkong on a direct course. Till now Nepal is just associated with the world through India from a few optical fiber associations at Bhairahwa, Birgunj and Biratnagar check focuses. After this current testing and plausible buy of web transfer speed from that point, the reliance to India has now finished. The optical fiber was laid from Capital Kathmandu to Rasuwagadi by means of associating from the effectively settled connection at Galchi to Kathmandu. As Rasuwagadi is particularly inclined to avalanche, the hardware is being exchanged to Timmure, one and a half km towards Nepal. 

Prior NT had wanted to associate China through the North-south optical fiber from Kathmandu to Tatopani and after that to Khasa fringe which was broken because of the devastation drove by uber quake on April 25 a year ago. The in living spaces are as yet not back to regularity nor the optical fiber is reestablished completely to the outskirt, that is the reason the new course from Rasuwa has been chosen on shared coordination. 

In spite of the fact that the tests are now effective, it is not that the Nepal will begin putting telecom administrations associations through the connection. It will require some investment: first for the moving to Timmure and after that to the buy of web transmission capacity from China Telecom and the conceivable arrangements. Likewise, the worldwide calls can be redirected to the world through this connection. Specialists assert that the optical fiber correspondences amongst China and Nepal will diminish the worldwide call levies and the web costs altogether. Let's see when will this connection be used for the telecom administrations and in what manner will it influence the telecom duties. Trust it achieves our home/office soon.

Is this new terrestrial connection gonna benefit only service providers? Will it bring some noticeable changes at consumers’ level or not? That is something, yet to see.
