Next Generation Telephone Exchange of BSNL at Vidyasagar University

Vidyasagar University in collaboration with BSNL (Signed MoU) has setup the modern, state-of-the-art Next Generation Telephone Exchange inside the Vidyasagar University Campus to raise the communication infrastructure to the highest level. This is the 2nd Exchange of its type in west Bengal after Siliguri and first in a University where this NGN BSNL exchange is installed. University is located far away from the kuikota exchange of BSNL and it was suffering from frequent breakdown in its communication infrastructure including the failure in Campus-wide voice P&T lines, internet, Wi-Fi facility due to frequent cable cut. Now that BSNL has marked their footprint inside campus with REDUNDANT PATH resulting in 100% uptime in the communication system. The exchange is FTTH (Direct fiber to Home/Table) IP based system capable of extending any number of Data(Broadband), Voice and video connectivity simultaneously. This will also enhance the communication infrastructure in the western part of the district.

The University is extending 300 telephone lines initially which may reach to 1000 lines very soon under CENTREX system to all the locations including all the faculty members, residential complexes with Direct Dial in Telephone facility to all the phone and 4 digit group calling.

The Complete Project Cost will be borne by BSNL including Equipment cost, cable laying and installation. The University will pay monthly usage charges with customised plan under centrex.

The exchange has been inaugurated on 9th April, 2018 by Prof. Ranjan Chakrabarti, Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor. Shri Shyam Narain, The Chief General Manager of BSNL was present as special guest.
