A robust communication corridor is the first and foremost requirement for the successful implementation of e-Governance projects. State wide Area Network helps us establish the said communication corridor.

This network will facilitate the smooth rollout of e-Governance initiatives across departments. Similarly the horizontal connectivity project will eventually connect all government offices in the state through the ASWAN POPs.

With the Assam Wide Area Network (ASWAN) the IT Department has embarked upon creation of a robust communication network in the State covering all Districts, Sub-divisional, Circle and Block offices through 304 PoPs in Assam with a minimum of 2 Mbps links. The network will facilitate rollout of e-Governance initiatives across departments.
