United Telecom and Andhra Pradesh Technology Services Limited jointly commissioned the network at a cost of Rs 55 million within five months.

The multimedia network, carrying voice, data and video traffic, forms the core of the Andhra Pradesh government's initiative to promote the use of information and provide information technology infrastructure.

APSWAN is to be the most powerful tool in the hands of the government to monitor welfare schemes. It will also provide easy public access to government information.

Addressing district collectors over the system, Naidu said by 2020, 950 of the 1,100 mandal headquarters in the state would be connected with the APSWAN network and by March, the collectors would be interconnected with each other.

He said a videoconferencing studio would be set up soon. The unique network would ensure efficiency and transparency in the functioning of all departments.
