Project NOVA-7 Cyber-Resilient Hybrid Multicloud Platform Scalable Enterprise Data Hubs (SEDH) Autonomous Global Access Phase-1: Central, North & South Asia Region Deliverables Multiple Regional NOVA-7 core purpose is to establish Scalable Autonomous Enterprise Level Secure Physical Infrastructure through which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) can exchange secured Internet traffic between their Autonomous Systems. NOVA-7 will provide the solid foundation for a host of current and emerging technologies uses from streaming ultra-high-definition videos, to mission-critical business applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency, to staying connected and productive while traversing large, congested networks. NOVA-7 Overview Global Digital Networks (GDN) and AMCO Engineering (AMC0), both independently owned ISO Certified companies, have jointly undertaken a three phased project, to develop Broadband Ecosystem Design for a region of minimum 350 million people. Pakistan, the major market, has minimum 160 million mobile phone subscribers (58 million Broadband subscribers). Project Scope NOVA-7 deliverable includes Infrastructure System Design; Digital Media Centers; Equipment Procurement; System Integration; Enhancements; Training and Customer Support Centers. Project Status As of March 2018, GDN has completed System Design and currently evaluating multi-vendor core equipment. Licensee is working on securing project finances and based on GDN recommendations, MUGHALS are in process of acquiring majority shares in the company which has License, issued by the National Regulatory Authority, under which multiple Mobile Broadband Services will be offered. Project Objective Provide Cyber-Resilient; QUANTUM Compatible; User-friendly; Globally Interoperable; Affordable; Digital Platform to new Generation of Leaders to Manage Exponentially Growing Technologies. Rationale Digital transformation is creating new challenges and opportunities, globally, for humanity. However, to ensure survival and sustainable inclusive growth Academia, Governments, Individuals and Businesses need a Secure; Digital; User-friendly and Affordable Digital Broadband Network, ON THE MOVE.

Edge Computing Our Holistic Approach Context Per GSMA, during 2019, mobile technologies and services generated $4.1 trillion of economic value added (4.7% of GDP) globally. This figure will approach $5 trillion by 2024 as countries increasingly benefit from the improvements in productivity and efficiency brought about by increased take-up of mobile services. Further ahead, 5G technologies are expected to contribute $2.2 trillion to the global economy between 2024 and 2034. 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are built from the same foundation & will co-exist to support different use cases. The Region Applications Focus Supply Chain Regulatory Compliance Digital Transformation Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) | Above Image Source: Gartner Economic Value Monitoring with Visibility Across Cloud Portfolio Secured Integrated Networks The sixth generation Wi-Fi 6, also known as 802.11ax, provides more speed, lower latency, and increased device density. The fifth generation of wireless, or 5G, is the latest cellular technology, engineered to increase the speed and capacity of wireless networks. ![]() Our Track Record Allied Research and Indigenous Technologies Private Limited - ARITEL (Pakistan) and Communications Network International Corporation - CNI (USA), two of GDN sister companies, which are also part of MUGHALS, successfully commissioned strategic SATCOM Catalyst Projects in the region including commissioning of (March 1996) Pakistan's pioneering National Internet Backbone Project (COMSATS) on turnkey basis and securing the first ever National Teleport License (March 2007) from Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA). Both projects were secured through competitive open bidding process. COMSATS, is the first ever National level Project, of its kind, in SE Asia and Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Sprint Corporation USA was the technology partner of AIRTEL-CNI for the COMSATS project. COMSATS is an International; Intergovernmental Science Organization, aiming at socio-economic uplift of the developing world through useful applications of science and technology and PEMRA, the Regulatory Authority of Pakistan.

Network facilities will have state-of-the art, fully redundant systems and will be connected to the backbone via fiber optic and satellites to multiple backbone circuits, powerful wireless microwave transmissions from towers with an expanding network of sectorized hubs. One of the unique features of NOVA-7 design is that this design provides foundations for organizations to scale their Intelligent WAN (IWAN) deployments beyond a single pair of WAN transports at a POP location.

Pharmaceutical; Retail and Warehousing Underlying Technology WiFi 6 WiMAX + Mobile Broadband (Multiple Spectrum / Frequencies) WiMAX is a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to wired broadband like Cable and DSL. WiMAX provides fixed, nomadic, portable and mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the need for direct line-of-sight with a base station. In a typical cell radius deployment of 3 to 10 kilometers. WiMAX Forum Certified™ systems deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per channel, for fixed and portable access applications. Mobile network deployments are expected to provide up to 15 Mbps of capacity within a typical cell radius deployment of up to three kilometers. WiMAX technology is incorporated in notebook computers, smart phones and PDAs, allowing for urban areas and cities to become “metro zones” for portable outdoor broadband wireless access. WiMAX is also the new standard in mobile broadband. · WiMAX doesn't require line-of-site, meaning less interference and secured. · Can be used in WiMAX-enabled vehicles, outdoors, laptop, or in buildings. · Easy to set up. No configuration or drivers needed. · Licensed frequencies to ensure interference-free connections. · Signal is encrypted for privacy and security. Due to Structured CAPEX & OPEX, scalability, high-performance, affordability, availability, mobility and ease-to-manage WiMAX networks are suitable for large, medium or small deployments in emerging markets. Sectorized WiMAX networks enable operators to reach previously unreachable areas of coverage and provide QoS with substantially higher bandwidth/capacity at affordable prices. WiMAX Background: WiMAX is a new world standard for low-cost, high performance wireless broadband networks. Global industry players have joined the WiMAX Forum and are manufacturing equipment in conformance with the new standard. One of the main goals of WiMAX is to make high-quality, long range data and voice communications affordable. Today a smartphone and laptop can function wireless in a small coffee shop with WiFi access. With the mobile version of WiMAX (802.16e), that same laptop would function outdoors even though it is receiving a signal from a base station a mile away.
