NEXT GENERATION BROADBAND FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FOR NATIONAL HIGHWAYS AND MOTORWAYS: This is a variation of above mentioned programme whereby commuters on Un/Underserved road segments of national Highways and Motorways will be provided with eh seamless voice and high-speed Broadband data services. In this regard USF has already launched number of projects where implementation is in progress. For details of under implementation project please visit our website at https://usf.org.pk/projects/detail/NG-BSD . Future tentative roll out plan under this programme is as follows: Project Scope Un/Underserved Areas in Targets Districts FY 2020-21 NH & MW Lot-4 (N40) Mastung, Quetta, Nushki, Chaghi 488 un/underserved Road Segments FY 2021-22 & 23 Projects will be designed and launched on Case to Case Basis OPTICAL FIBER CABLE PROGRMME: With increasing demand of high-speed Broadband Internet Services, a reliable, scalable, high speed and high capacity backhaul infrastructure is of prime importance. USF’s Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) programme targets the backhaul component of telecom infrastructure. USF has already launched number of projects where implementation is in progress. For details of under implementation project please visit our website at https://usf.org.pk/projects/detail/optic-Fibre-program . Initially unserved Tehsil Headquarters and Major towns were being connected with fiber. However, considering the strategic significance of OFC infrastructure USF is further expanding this infrastructure up to Towns/Union Councils level.
