5. What is SME:
Small & Medium enterprise (SME) needs high grade data connectivity and internet solutions for their
business. However a SME remains underserved as far as quality & affordable office internet is
concerned. For its growing connectivity requirements SME is compelled to choose either economical
office broadband offering shared bandwidth or expensive internet leased line (ILL) offering dedicated
bandwidth, both of which represents a compromise.
Tikona has introduced an innovative product called as iDeal internet leased line, which is a right fit
for both the internet speed, quality and budget needs of SMEs. It is quick to install & easy to
manage.
e-Nxt, A TATA Enterprise, has partnered with Tikona Digital Networks Pvt. Ltd. (TDN) to provide
Internet solutions to Small and Medium Enterprises.

and have been especially important for those who have
moved from agriculture to urban areas.
