National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) Project in North Eastern States

  • Objective

    The objective of this project was to supply HDPE PLB ducts (40/33 mm) for the National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) project in Assam. The primary goal was to support the laying of optical fibre cables across the North Eastern states. The main challenge was ensuring timely delivery of the ducts within a tight timeframe to support the overall network rollout.

    • Strict Delivery Deadline: The most significant challenge faced was delivering the required quantity of HDPE PLB ducts within a short timeframe. This posed a substantial challenge to production, logistics, and overall project coordination.
    • Logistics in Remote Areas: Assam’s diverse and often difficult terrain made transportation and distribution a complex task. Ensuring the timely arrival of the ducts in remote and underserved areas required careful logistical planning and management.
    • Production and Compliance: The HDPE PLB ducts needed to meet specific technical specifications (40/33 mm) to ensure compatibility with optical fibre cable laying standards. Ensuring consistent quality throughout the production process was crucial to avoid delays.

  • Solutions

    • Optimised Production Process: To meet the tight timeline, production schedules were closely monitored and adjusted as needed. Key actions were taken to prioritise the manufacturing of the 40/33 mm HDPE PLB ducts, ensuring the necessary quantities were produced efficiently without compromising quality.
    • Rigorous Quality Control: The production process included stringent quality checks to ensure that all ducts met the required specifications. Each batch of ducts was thoroughly inspected to maintain high-quality standards for fibre optic infrastructure.
    • Efficient Logistics Management: A detailed logistics plan was created to ensure the smooth transportation of the ducts to Assam. Coordination with local transporters and careful route planning helped mitigate delays caused by terrain challenges, ensuring timely deliveries.
