SWAN (state wide area network)
In India, SWAN is a government-subsidized project to create a state wide area network (WAN) that
will improve government efficiency. SWAN was approved by the government of India in March 2005 and
is targeted for completion in June 2010.
When the SWAN project is completed, government offices in each of India's 29 states and six
union territories will be connected and able to support National e-Governance Plan (NEGP)
initiatives for government-to-government and government-to-consumer services.
The SWAN backbone
will support data, voice and video.
