Broadband Wireless
Mumbai in 2030 
Public parks with Wi-Fi hotpots and free access 
City wide connectivity 
Public Safety and Vigilance
How do we reach there? 
Broadband through Wireless 
Mumbai 
• Population density – 21k/sq.km 
• But, 34% (approx) wet land 
• Actual population density ~ 90- 
100k/sq.km. in some areas or 
even more (Source: UDRI) 
• Assume 10% use broadband services in such areas and 1 
Mbps demand per user 
• Very high capacity required: 10 Gbps/sq km 
– Assuming 2-3 cells/ sq km, we need about 
3-4 Gbps per cell 
With 100 MHz per cell (multiple operators and multiple 
technologies) ~ whopping 40 bps/Hz/cell !!!

Contrasting Challenges 
Citizens: 
- Access to broadband 
- Data requirement with growing demand 
- Choice and migration across operators 
Private operators: 
- Flexibility of planning 
- Network layout and architecture 
- Scalability and upgrades 
Municipal Corporation – Point of Intervention: 
• Right of way & digging permissions 
• Ensure availability of resources 
• Ensure no inconvenience to citizens 
• Ensure future-proof policies 
• Zoning 
Government of India: 
- Implementation of schemes as per 
National Telecom Policy 
Municipal Corporation: 
- Enable use of citizen services to the 
masses 
- Interconnection of municipal facilities 
- Maintenance of public utilities like 
roads, flyovers etc.
Role of Municipal Corporation in 
Broadband
Roles of different entities 
• Private Telecom Operators – Infrastructure setup 
and management 
• Government – Spectrum auctions 
• Any role of Municipal Corporations? 
– YES!!! 
• Enabler for private telecom operators 
• Broadband for citizen services 
• Municipal public-park approach 
• Universal Service Obligation Fund?
Enabler for private operators 
• Creation of Telecom Corridors 
Water 
Pipelines 
– Lay trenches, dark fibers & conduits 
– Identify areas for tower installation (Zoning) 
– Provide connectivity to tower from trenches 
– Lease fiber to private telecom operators 
Municipality laid 
• Changes in building code 
fiber ducts/ 
conduits/ dark 
Gas 
Pipelines 
– Mandate builders fibers 
to 
provide ducts for optical 
Optical 
fiber during construction 
Fiber Ducts 
– Facilitate In Building Solutions (IBS) 
• Map the details of all underground utilities and 
make available to all operators
Broadband for citizen services 
• Municipal Broadband – Services overlaid over telecom corridor 
School 
Hospital 
Police Station 
Fire Stations 
Municipal 
Broadband Tower 
Municipal 
Telecom Corridor 
CCTV Cameras
Municipal public-park approach 
• WiFi hotspots in public areas in underserved 
locations
Case Studies
Case Studies – Stockholm 
• City owned network 
• Laid out by municipal 
corporation 
• 10,00,000 km of fiber across 
the city 
• Rented to operators for a fee 
• 90% of households 
connected with fiber to home 
of which 25% are low 
household incomes 
• Operates at a profit of ₹150 
crores
Case Study – Lebanon (Oregon) 
• Public Private Partnership 
Model 
• City wide coverage in a 
partnership with ISPs 
• Access points provided to 
educational institutions 
• Free Wi–Fi available to all for 
limited time per month 
• Can be extended for a paid 
price 
• Part of subscription money 
received given back to local 
civic body
Planning
Mumbai Ward H/East 
Includes 
• Dharavi slum cluster 
• Dense urban areas in Mahim / Santacruz, 
Vile Parle 
• Educational campus of Mumbai University 
in Kalina 
• Bordering the airport complex 
Data 
• Area: 13.5 sq. km 
• Population: 5.8 Lakh 
• Slum Population: 4.5 Lakh (79%) 
• Number of households: 42.5k per sq.km
