GTPL Broadband, a wholly owned subsidiary of GTPL Hathway and the sixth-largest private broadband player in India, has partnered with Alepo, a global digital enablement expert, to modernize its Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) and policy infrastructure. With this transformation, GTPL will be able to introduce modern and advanced high-speed internet plans with growing customer needs.
Broadband Usage Surges
The demand for home broadband has seen a surge due to the reasons caused by the pandemic. Hence, the need for high-quality internet in urban areas and the internet market growth in rural and underserved regions in India has accelerated, leading to an increase in subscribers and demand for GTPL. As a result, GTPL decided to replace its legacy system with Alepo's AAA Solution.
