About This Project
Overview, mission & core vision
RuralNet is a self-contained solar and battery powered broadband tower that delivers high-speed internet to entire villages within a 2km radius โ operating completely off-grid using solar energy and AI-managed battery storage, requiring no power grid, no diesel generator and no telecom infrastructure.
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Problem
600 million people in rural India have no reliable internet access โ not because of lack of signal towers but because 40% of rural areas have no reliable electricity to power them. Rajasthan alone has 43,000 villages with unreliable or no internet
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Solution
RuralNet towers are 100% solar powered with 72-hour battery backup โ deploy anywhere with sunlight, deliver 100Mbps shared broadband to entire village, pay per use via UPI
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Market
$8.9B global rural broadband market โ Indian government BSNL BharatNet program alone has Rs.1,39,000Cr allocated for rural internet, with private last-mile players invited
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Traction
6 towers deployed across Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu villages โ serving 4,200 active users, average tower revenue Rs.85,000/month, operational for 19 months with 99.2% uptime
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Revenue Model
Rs.22 Lakh tower sale to panchayat/NGO/government + Rs.199/month village user broadband subscription + Rs.8,000/month tower maintenance contract
๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Use of Funds
40% tower hardware manufacturing, 30% solar and battery system, 20% network operations centre, 10% government and NGO partnership development
Features
Core capabilities & functionalities
โ
100% Solar Off-Grid Operation
2.4kW solar panel array charges 14.4kWh LiFePO4 battery bank โ powers all tower electronics, antennas, cooling and monitoring systems continuously. Operates through 72 hours of complete overcast weather without any grid or diesel backup
โ
2km Radius 100Mbps Coverage
Dual-band WiFi 6 antennas plus 4G LTE backhaul deliver 100Mbps shared broadband across 2km radius โ enough for simultaneous HD video streaming for 200+ users in a typical village
โ
AI Bandwidth Management
Machine learning system analyses usage patterns across all connected users and allocates bandwidth dynamically โ ensures school and hospital connections get priority during peak hours, prevents single user from monopolising bandwidth
โ
UPI Pay-As-You-Go Access
Village users connect to RuralNet WiFi and purchase data packs via UPI starting at Rs.10 for 1GB โ no monthly commitment, no SIM card, no documentation required. Works on any smartphone
โ
Village Dashboard & Local Content Cache
Tower caches government services, health information, agriculture market prices, weather data and educational content locally โ village users access critical information even during backhaul outage periods
โ
Remote Monitoring & Auto-Healing
RuralNet operations centre monitors all towers in real time โ AI detects faults automatically and initiates remote diagnostics. 94% of faults resolved remotely without field visit, maximising 99%+ uptime
Key Advantages
Why this project stands out
โ ๏ธ
Predicts Failure 72 Hours Early
Vibration, current and temperature analysis detects developing faults in motors, cables, brakes and doors 72 hours before breakdown โ maintenance team replaces failing component during scheduled downtime instead of responding to a breakdown with passengers trapped
๐
Zero Passenger Entrapment
Pilot buildings using LiftLog reported zero passenger entrapment incidents over 18 months versus industry average of 2.3 entrapments per lift per year โ most impactful safety metric for residential society facility managers and liability insurers
๐
Compliance Certificates Auto-Generated
LiftLog generates IS 14665 statutory inspection data automatically โ maintenance records, safety check logs and performance metrics formatted for lift inspector submission, reducing compliance documentation effort from 4 hours to 4 minutes per inspection
๐ง
Clamps On Without Stopping Lift
All LiftLog sensors install on existing cable, motor and door mechanism externally โ no lift shutdown required for installation. Full sensor suite fitted and live within 4 hours of installation team arrival with residents using the lift throughout
๐ฐ
Reduces Maintenance Cost by 45%
Predictive maintenance replaces scheduled maintenance โ parts replaced only when wear is detected, not on calendar schedule. Pilot buildings reduced annual lift maintenance expenditure by 45% while improving reliability and safety simultaneously
๐ข
Multi-Lift Building Dashboard
Building manager app shows health status of all lifts simultaneously โ colour-coded risk dashboard, upcoming maintenance schedule, energy consumption per lift and month-on-month reliability trend for AMC renewal negotiations
How It Works
Step-by-step process & workflow
01
Site Survey & Approval
RuralNet team visits village, assesses solar irradiance data, identifies optimal tower location with line-of-sight coverage, and assists panchayat with any required government permissions
02
Tower Delivery & Installation
Pre-assembled tower unit delivered by truck โ local village team of 4 people erects 12-metre tower using manual winch system in 4 hours. No crane required, no specialised contractors needed
03
Solar & Battery Commissioning
Solar panels connected and battery bank charged from solar over 48 hours โ AI battery management system calibrated and communication systems tested with RuralNet operations centre
04
Network Configuration
Backhaul satellite or 4G link activated, WiFi coverage zones mapped with signal strength testing across village, UPI payment gateway configured with panchayat bank account for revenue collection
05
Community Training
Village WiFi operator trained for 1 day by RuralNet technician โ learns to manage user accounts, resolve common connection issues and read tower dashboard. Becomes local digital entrepreneur
06
Go Live & Revenue Sharing
Tower goes live, village operator begins selling data packs via UPI. Revenue split: 60% to village operator/panchayat, 40% to RuralNet for maintenance and backhaul costs โ self-sustaining model from day one
Technology
Tech stack & innovation
โ๏ธ
2.4kW Monocrystalline Solar Array
High-efficiency monocrystalline panels with dual-axis tracking increase energy capture by 35% vs fixed panels โ MPPT charge controller optimises charging across varying weather and sun angle conditions
๐
14.4kWh LiFePO4 Battery Bank
Lithium iron phosphate chemistry chosen for 6,000+ cycle life (16+ years), thermal stability in 45ยฐC ambient temperatures and fire safety โ 72-hour runtime at full tower load in zero-sun conditions
๐ก
WiFi 6 + 4G LTE Backhaul
Dual-band WiFi 6 (2.4GHz + 5GHz) provides 100Mbps to 200+ simultaneous users within 2km. 4G LTE Cat-18 backhaul with dual-SIM failover connects tower to internet backbone
๐ค
AI Bandwidth Orchestration Engine
Custom QoS management system classifies traffic by user type and application โ education, healthcare and emergency services get guaranteed bandwidth allocation even during 100% capacity periods
๐ณ
UPI Captive Portal Payment System
Custom captive portal accepts UPI, QR code and Aadhaar-linked payments for data packs โ works on feature phones via USSD fallback. All transactions logged to panchayat account in real time
๐
RuralNet Operations Centre
Cloud NOC monitors all deployed towers for solar generation, battery state, backhaul quality, user count and revenue in real time โ predictive maintenance AI flags hardware issues 2โ3 weeks before failure
