The Government of Chhattisgarh, India, has deployed a state-wideWAN to link its public agencies and deliver e-government citizen services that are secured using online validation and digital certificates. The Chhattisgarh Government (through CHiPS, India's nodal agency for e-governance) is creating a convergent, hybrid network for audio, video and data based on fixed lines, satellite (VSAT) and radio frequency (RF) technologies.

Chhattisgarh is using Juniper Networks' M- and J-series routers and Integrated Security Gateways (ISG) to support an extensive range of government services, including Chhattisgarh Online Information for Citizen Empowerment (CHOiCE) which offers citizens 130 online government services.

"This is one of the nation's largest infrastructure deployments to date and forms the cornerstone of our state-wide WiMAX plans," said Aman Kumar Singh Secretary (IT) GoC and CEO CHiPS.
