A. The background, solution, service or material required:

A.1.1 State SWAN details. Overview of AP State Wide Area Network

The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) has identified 22 Mission Mode Projects,
which are to be implemented in a phased manner over the next 3-4 years by the Line
Ministries/Departments concerned at the Central and State level, as applicable, in
addition to the various other e-Governance initiatives being taken by the respective
States and Central Ministries. State Wide Area Network (SWAN) has been identified
as an element of the core infrastructure for supporting these e-Governance
initiatives.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh signed an agreement with M/s TCS to establish
a State Wide Area Network (SWAN) as the backbone network for data, voice and
video communications throughout the State. SWAN would act as the vehicle for
effective implementation of Electronic Governance (e-Governance) across the state.

GoAP has various departmental applications based on Departments’ operations,


specific usage and purpose, for providing services to the citizens. A typical
government department having an e-governance application shall require the
following:
• A common delivery platform for e-Governance applications.

Page 5 of 28
APTS bid document for Video Conferencing solution on APSWAN

• A mechanism for fast internal communication.


• Streamline access to services for the citizens and multiply usage.
• Support progressively increasing data and applications.
• Facilitate the transfer of information between employees in different
locations and to allow them to share common files.
• Provide a secure and reliable channel to transfer data across locations.

APSWAN is expected to not only fulfill the aforementioned objectives but also cater
to the information communication requirements of the entire state government and
its departments. Through implementing SWAN, the GoAP wishes to achieve the
following:

• Ensure that every citizen in the state has access to Government services and
information anytime and anyplace.
• Provide reliable, vertical and horizontal connectivity, across the state to
connect all the Departments and thereby integrate their services.
• Provide to the Departments, the ability to leverage a robust infrastructure to
provide a complete array of Government services and information.
• Reduce communication cost.
• Provide a secure backbone for encouraging electronic transactions.
• Provide efficient service management.
• Strengthen Disaster Management Capacity.
• Make services available in a cost efficient manner
• Move toward the provisioning of converged communication Services (data
and video) and the interconnection and interoperation of network platforms
and encouraging Operators to consider any network architecture to determine
the most efficient and cost effective approach.

The proposed network as part of the APSWAN covers the following:


S. No. Hierarchal location Number of
PoPs
1 SWAN State Headquarter (SHQ) 1

2 SWAN District Headquarter (DHQ) 23

3 SWAN Mandal Headquarter (MHQ) 1088

4 Wi-Max Nodes Min. 9

At each of the above locations a SWAN PoP (Point of Presence) is proposed to be


established. The SHQ PoP will be connected to the District PoPs using leased lines
with 8 Mbps capacity. Each of the DHQ PoPs will in turn be connected to the MHQ
PoPs of that district using leased lines of 2 Mbps capacity. Further, connectivity
would also need to be provided to various offices at each of these SHQ/DHQ/MHQ
locations. It is proposed to connect 75 remote offices at SHQ, 25 remote offices at
each DHQ and 5 remote offices at each MHQ. These connections will be achieved
using combination of leased lines/RF Link/WiMax etc. These projections, however,
may increase or reduce based on site conditions and requirements. The overall

Page 6 of 28

solution of APSWAN shall comply with general guidelines specified by DIT, GoI from
time to time. This is to ensure seamless interoperability and interconnectivity to
NICNet or any other National Network for use by Central or any State Government.

The Planning Department, Government of AP (GoAP) under APSDMS project has


established Video conference setup between SHQ & CPO/MRO offices as detailed
below:-
