The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), representing Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea, is pushing back against direct 5G spectrum allocation for enterprises. COAI argues that Indiaโ€™s urban coverage, revenue priorities, and national security risks make an operator-led model via spectrum leasing or network slicing, more viable. The Department of Telecommunications is reviewing TRAIโ€™s recommendation, with the decision set to shape Indiaโ€™s private 5G market for years.
Indiaโ€™s satellite internet market will focus on enterprise demand over consumer use, according to DoTโ€™s Gulab Chand. With 4G and 5G networks covering most of the country, satellite services are expected to serve sectors like logistics, energy, and mining. Startups and government support are fueling Indiaโ€™s space-tech ecosystem, creating a hybrid terrestrial-satellite network model to power the nationโ€™s digital growth.
Indiaโ€™s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has relaunched its plan to directly allocate spectrum for private 5G networks. The new demand study invites large enterprises and system integrators to signal interest in dedicated spectrum for captive 5G setups. If approved, this policy could enable Indian industries to run secure, high-speed networks without fully relying on telecom operators.
Web3 is redefining the telecom industry by introducing decentralized infrastructure, blockchain-based billing, smart contracts, NFTs, and digital identity. This article explores how telcos can evolve from connectivity providers to key players in Web3 ecosystemsโ€”offering programmable services, token economies, and secure, user-centric digital experiences.
The fiber, data center, and telecom sectors are evolving rapidly amid rising AI workloads, cloud expansion, edge computing, and new investment models. This article breaks down the key trends โ€” from fiber deployments in rural markets to secondary data center expansions and telecoms shifting to platform-based services, that are reshaping digital infrastructure for a hyperconnected future.
Indian telecom companies such as Jio and Airtel are moving beyond internal AI use cases to co-develop monetizable, India-focused AI applications in partnership with tech giants like Google, Nvidia, Cisco, and AMD. These collaborations are enabling sector-specific AI tools across healthcare, education, and agriculture, boosting operational efficiency, customer experience, and creating new revenue streams for telecom operators.
Telecom providers have spent over $300 billion since 2018 on 5G, fiber, and cloud-based infrastructureโ€”but returns are shrinking. The missing link? Network observability. Without real-time visibility, telecoms canโ€™t optimize performance, preempt outages, or respond to security threats effectively. This article explores why observability must become a core priority for both operators and regulators, especially as networks grow more dynamic, virtualized, and AI-driven.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has announced the 5G Innovation Hackathon 2025, a six-month competition to drive 5G-powered solutions across industries. Open to students, startups, and professionals, the hackathon will focus on AI, IoT, smart cities, and next-gen connectivity innovations. Participants will receive funding, mentorship, and access to 100+ 5G Use Case Labs. Winners will showcase their solutions at India Mobile Congress 2025.
