Network Analysis for K-FON

Government of Kerala aims to build a dedicated Optic Fibre Network (Kerala State Fibre Network) connecting the State HeadQuarters, Districts, the Block and Gram Panchayats in the state. A highly scalable network infrastructure has been envisioned for K-FON which shall be accessible on a non-discriminatory basis, to provide on demand, affordable broadband connectivity of 2 Mbps upto 100 Mbps for all households.381 substations of KSEB (Kerala State Electricity Board) were chosen to create the backbone network installing PoPs (Point of Presence) at each substation. For the cost estimation of this, total length of Fibre cable required was to be found. A complete process for the project from data collection to data analysis was completed by ICFOSS.
