Technology made it simple to connect two distant centers to each other, either through ISDN lines or through Satellite. For ISDN connectivity, both centers apply to the local telephone exchange, which provides the required cabling to enable videoconferencing with a bandwidth of 128 kbps.

However, the image quality and resolutions largely improve if there is a higher bandwidth. This was made possible through V-Sat, which can provide bandwidths of 384 kbps, making it easy to transfer images in real-time and of superior quality. With the active support of ISRO and personal initiative of Ex-Chairman, Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Satellite connectivity was provided at our Bangalore hospital, at RTIICS, and Udaipur, Tripura. Large satellite dishes were installed at strategic locations at these centers, enhancing the entire process of sending and receiving medical data and images and providing crystal-clear videoconferencing.
