Assam Wide Area Network (ASWAN)
The Assam State Wide Area Network (ASWAN) is a core infrastructure project implemented by AMTRON to create a robust connectivity infrastructure for Government to Government use under National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) to facilitate the smooth rollout of e-Governance initiatives across the departments.
ASWAN acts as a robust communication corridor and has helped the IT Department to embark upon creation of an active communication network in the State. So far ASWAN has provided connectivity to 1000+ state government offices covering all Districts HQ, Sub-divisional Head Quarter (SDHQ), Circle and Block offices through 304 PoPs in Assam with a minimum of 2 Mbps links.
ASWAN has helped many State departments such as Home, PWD, TAX & Treasury, Election offices etc. in seamless delivery of its services and facilitated smooth rolling-out of e-Governance initiatives. ASWAN is also providing horizontal connectivity to other government offices such as police, Health Referral Units & District Transport Offices in the state through the ASWAN POPs.
Status of the project:
· 114 POPs are currently being used by the National Register of Citizens (NRC) updation Programme.
· 160 POPs of ASWAN are used by the e-District project.
· ASWAN is currently working on the ASWAN 2.0
