1-Wi Max-Technically called worldwide interoperability for microwave admittance. It is also a telecommunication technology, through that we are given that wireless data over much longer distances in diversity of conduct. Interestingly, we can minimally renovate Wi Max into Wi-fi and through this mobile phones and cordless instruments are giving its services which are not in meters but beyond 50Km, adequate to cover up yet a gigantic city.

2-WI-Fi- It is commonly referred to as wireless trustworthiness and used to make available internet connectivity lacking wires.

Above and beyond, Bihar is also ready to go on the path of information superhighway. Information superhighway is being implemented under the National e-governance programme (NEGP).This is extremely superior notion. This perception was first introduced in the US. The then US president Bill Clinton had mooted the idea with a view to enhancing the effectiveness of governance in the federal set-up of the nation.

As we know Bihar is large state in region wise too. For better governance such type of superhighway may be prove panacea of all problems. If it is being implemented in Bihar successfully, unquestionably Bihar will make itself technologically self reliance state.

This information highway has two apparatus-(A)-Government to Government and (B)-Government to citizen. For the accomplishment of Government to Government conception, State wide area network (SWAN) has been developed and for the achievement of Government to citizen contemplation, Common services centre (CSC) has been developed.

SWAN will work as the moral fiber of this information super highway. BSNL will hold up the entire organism through its leased connection. In fact without the help of BSNL, this structure will not work for solitary second.

Alliance of SWAN and BSNL will facilitate communication between the state head quarters and far flung block offices in real time. This will also allow having the facility of video conferencing .As SWAN will work through leased lines, high speed data transfer too would be possible.

As the NEGP envisages mounting only a perpendicular link with block offices being the preceding position of communiqué, the state government has added one parallel workings as well in its forthcoming information super highway and there are strategy to take this connection downward to the panchayat echelon on the one hand and to widen connectivity between an assortment of offices on the further. There are also procedures to make use of wide scale use of Wi-Fi and Wi Max technologies for anomaly free net connectivity at this altitude.

In this bond, a data centre has been produced at the Technology Bhawan, Patna and it will work as an information hub and a information storehouse for the focal secretariat, new secretariat, Sinchai Bhawan, Visvesvaraya Bhawan, Soochna Bhawan and the CM's residential office through the secretariat local area network (SecLAN), with the intention that pertinent information are accessible at all significant points and their connectivity with lowest level of government offices are on line.

However, the information super highway is at the moment beneath the experiment scamper and 10 district of the state are expected to be connected with it from April 1 this year.

Nalanda, Begusarai, Muzaffarpur and West Champaran are among the 10 districts which would be connected with this information highway from April this year while connectivity of rest of the districts with this highway will be time-honored by the end of this year.

This is strong willpower of CM which is implementing this ambitious project in reality. Central government is also not indifferent in this regard. It is providing Rs 256 crore fund for implementation of NEGP as well. For success of this project, the state government is also enthusiastic. Thus, rest of the fund is being provided by it, particularly for the completion of the task of horizontal network.

In fact objective of this high way is very positive. Through this highway effective governance will be insured and along with this, time will also be reduced which is being taken in communication between field offices and the state headquarters.

Certainly now Bihar wants to join the league of developed states of the country very soon.
