STL, an industry leading integrator of digital networks, has won a Rs. 170 crore deal from India’s largest power distribution company, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL).
The multi-year deal is worth Rs. 170 crore and STL will fulfill PGCIL’s requirement for high performance, integrated network management systems across their regional communications networks.
PGCIL owns and operates 90% of India’s interstate and inter-regional electric power transmission network spanning 1,72,192 circuit kilometers and 72,126 km of telecom network. This gigantic transmission & telecom network has to be consistently maintained at an availability of 99% & 99.5% uptime, respectively. As networking becomes agile, these mammoth networks will require a modern approach to management and orchestration to solve challenges in the areas of silos, interoperability and security.
Leveraging its software-defined networking solution, STL will deliver a customized Unified Network Management System (UNMS) offering advanced automation, programmable configuration and actionable insights. Through this solution, PGCIL will get a consolidated, centralized view of regional networks and will be able to optimize O&M, reduce system outages at the national level and generate performance analytics for the Central Electricity Authority (CEA).
Commenting on this collaboration, Praveen Cherian, CEO, Global Business Services, STL said, “We are delighted to form an association with PGCIL for creating a customized UNMS for managing their massive-scale utility networks. Through our solution, we will provide a consolidated infrastructure with centralized controls for their inter-regional networks. The network management system, with integrated analytics, will bring in efficiency and effectiveness setting superior standards in network operations management.”
