Nelco Tata Group, subsidiary Adani’s Alpha Design Technologies, Hughes, Cisco and Bharat Electronics LTD are among companies that follow contracts to deliver new satellite terminals worth approximately about satellite terminals £The 100-200 Crore for the network, two government officials and industrial managers in science stated on the condition of anonymity.
In 2002, a police network or Pollnet, a vital and secure communication system such as the Internet for India police and security forces, was launched. It connects police stations and security forces, including those that guard the boundaries or manipulations of emergency, called central armed police forces, throughout India through news, calls and videos.
“Given the need to have a continuous bandwidth without any disturbance for public protection and disaster assistance, more VSAT (very small apertures) must be added. More VSAT terminals and related equipment.

VSAT is a small satellite -based communication system used to provide connections for police stations, ATMs and disasters in remote areas where conventional networks are not available or unreliable. In addition to the static Terminals of the VSAT, Flyaway Vsats is also a government plan. These are portable satellite systems that can be easily transported and quickly set by a few safety staff in an emergency such as a natural disaster to get communication quickly.
Security requirements
This upgrade is also essential for strengthening national security as it will ensure continuous communication for police and security forces during critical operations, especially in distant, borders and insurgents.
The Wireless (DCPW) Police Coordination Directorate leads efforts to strengthen Pollnet and other projects for safe communication in the armed forces.
In April, 10 companies, including Cisco, Hughes, Alpha Design, Nelco, Bharat Electronics, Electronics Corporation of India (ECIL) and Israeli satellite network based in Israel, attended a preliminary meeting to supply the required terminals and improve network connectivity.
The government has extended the deadline for submitting offers several times. The last date is now on August 28.
Similarly, the Center for Recovery After the Disaster on the International Police Wireless Transmission Station in Banaswadi, Bengalur. It is planned to ensure continuous operations and continuity of communication during disasters and redundancy in the event of an emergency in the main center in Delhi, the second official said. The VSAT terminal supplier is required to provide the necessary support to integrate this center for recovery after a disaster with the main center, said the person.
Need satellites of the next generation
“From what we understand is the Polnet currently established network of VSAT acting on older C-pool technology. “Sateraji,” Shaterovia, “Shater,” Shatji’s solution, “Hughes Communications India, the provider of the geosynchronous and Leo satellite services.
High -performance satellites provide much faster and more efficient communication.

Chatterjee emphasized the critical role of satellite connectivity in allowing fast deployment and communication in distant and Naxal areas. He noted that Hughes recently deployed portable satellite terminals based on a trunk to support police operations in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. “Thanks to the advances in Leo technology, we soon could see even more compact, briefcases or backpack terminals that are ideal for field operations on the ground,” he added.
Questions of Adani Enterprises Ltd, Cisco, Bel, Ecil and DCPW did not give the answer until the press time.
Nelco refused to comment on “matters that may include unpublished prices of sensitive or confidential information”, according to Ritesh Kamdar’s response, company secretary, and head-lever at Tata Group Company.
In 2020 the government introduced the Pollnet 2.0 For satellite communication with high bandwidth, video conference capabilities, multimedia support and improved data sharing and command control across all police and paramilitary units in the country.
According to a government document for securing the Terminals of the VSAT, the Polnet is currently running on the GSAT (geo-state satellite) using a C-Passion signal with a bandwidth of 36 MHz. The satellite develops the Indian organization Space Research Organization (ISRA). C-pitch frequencies are increasingly used to provide 5G mobile broadband services that offer better coverage and penetration, especially in suburban and rural areas.
“The government transition to the modernization of the Polnet upgrade of terminals and the establishment of the Center for Recovery after a disaster is timely and necessary,” said Anil Prakash, CEO of the Association of Satcom (Sia-India). “This repair can unlock a significant opportunity for the Indian ecosystem SatCom, both in terms of hardware and services.”
Prakash said the government should prefer to adopt high -performance satellite capacity, allow interoperability across the network, and consider the participation of the private sector through more flexible public procurement frames to make the most of this upgrade.
The key to building communication infrastructure ready for the future and real-time connection will be end-to-end.

In 2002, Bel was selected by the government through a selection procedure for the establishment of Polnet, according to the publication of the Ministry of Defense of May 3, 2002. Adani’s subsidiary Alpha Design received a contract for delivery and installing the initial dose of VSAT terminals for Polnet 2.0. In 2018, Adani Defense Systems, a completely owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, was acquired by Adani Enterprises.
