T-Fiber aims to connect every household, government institution and private enterprise across the rural part of the state through optical fiber and provide them with high speed internet connectivity
Government of Telangana is taking big leaps to build and leverage the broadband infrastructure under BharatNet project. It is in this context that Telangana Government has initiated T-Fiber to provide broadband connectivity up to the household level and reap its benefits. The State Government has created a separate entity by the name Telangana Fiber Grid Corporation Ltd. for roll-out of optic fiber and network infrastructure across the state. T-Fiber shall provide fiber to the Home / Enterprise connectivity to over 47+ lakh households and 1+ lakh public & private enterprises, offices, institutions, etc. in Telangana. End-to-end fiber network shall be deployed across 10 Zones (31 Districts), 584 Mandal (Block), 8778 Gram Panchayats, 10,128 Villages up to the household / enterprise.
T-Fiber will leverage the infrastructure such as RoW, trenching and ducting created under the prestigious Mission Bhagiratha. The Optical Fiber Cables will be deployed along water pipeline routes which have been already mapped for the entire state. In order to ensure accomplishment of objectives of T-Fiber, a layered topology for T-Fiber network architecture has been planned. The network shall be capable of delivering 4-100 Mbps to household and on-demand 20-100 Mbps to institutions and enterprises.

It can be a valuable tool in providing post discharge care to the patients who cannot ambulate and for the patients who stay abroad. It can be an excellent platform for isolated or rural health practitioners for continuing education or training and improving their skills.
