The Indian Army activated satellite-based internet service on the world’s highest battlefield on Siachen Glacier.
Satellite-based internet service has been activated on the Siachen Glacier at 19,061 feet, the world’s highest battlefield, by the Siachen Signallers.
Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL), a government of India undertaking that is providing the net connectivity to the Army at Siachen, is the same agency that is responsible for the implementation of BharatNet Project.
The BBNL's plan is to provide satellite-based internet to around 7,000 gram panchayats and other remote areas where fibre-based internet connectivity is not possible.
