On success of Nagaland Telemedicine project, the same technology was implemented at Meghalaya in the West Garo Hills region. The major challenge here was to overcome the foliage loss due to high absorption of radio frequency energy emission from radio.

To establish connectivity, specialized towers and aerials were designed so that speed could be achieved between 150 to 180 Mbps. The nodes are placed between district hospitals in Tura and 07 numbers of PHCs, CHCs and maternity hospital in remote areas.

The network is operational since March 2014, providing the services of specialized doctors for patients of PHCs and CHCs of remote locations. It can also be utilized for video conferencing for centralized Training and Lectures. DC office is also connected in the loop for monitoring purpose.

On the request of the Assam police, a demonstrator mesh network was planned to showcase the possibility of having a wireless system for CCTV surveillance. Earlier they had, for some areas, established a network which was connected on an exposed cable.

There were problems of regular breakdown or issues of vandalism. Based on the request, mesh networks were established at several locations with fixed lens cameras as well as point, tilt and zoom cameras. The average through put in the system is 150- 180 mbps, providing sufficient band width to have streaming data with a clear picture & In the control room streaming data is now being over seen by a team trained by NECTAR with a capacity to point, tilt or zoom the cameras according to their requirements. On the request of the Guwahati police back up has been provided in the control room, along with air conditioning, because large number of equipments have been installed in a small space.

This has been handed over to Assam Police. Ample data storage has been provided for control room for revisiting the footage for analysis. The Assam Police have requested NECTAR to prepare a DPR for the city of Guwahati which is to be covered by a surveillance network.

Shillong and Tura City: - On the request of Govt. of Meghalaya for a “Safe, Secure Shillong” project, an integrated surveillance system was designed and set up in Shillong.

The network has been designed with fixed IP cameras as well as PTZ (Point, Tilt and Zoom) cameras. The average throughput provides sufficient bandwidth to have a streaming data with a clear picture. The control room has the capability to focus the PTZ cameras according to their requirement. The system has been designed with a back bone where we are getting a throughput of 400-800 mbps and then branches are taken from these which have a speed of up to 150 mbps. With this surveillance system the Shillong Police has been able to identify 346 cases of law violation, theft and other illegal activities out of which 86 have been solved by getting the offenders apprehended.

On similar lines Tura District of Meghalaya has been provided with the CCTV surveillance system in 14 locations.
