India Mobile Congress 2025 in New Delhi framed a clear ambition: scale domestic innovation, shape 6G, and turn telecom into a larger engine of GDP growth. Leaders underscored a whole-of-government approach, with multiple ministries backing IMC and the Department of Telecommunications and the Cellular Operators Association of India co-hosting. India’s telecom and digital sector is estimated to contribute roughly 12–14% to GDP today. Leaders at IMC projected this could reach about 20% by the mid-2030s if India scales advanced connectivity, software-led services, and domestic manufacturing. India’s 6G push was tied to a potential GDP uplift exceeding a trillion dollars by 2035.
India is poised to greenlight commercial satellite communication services once TRAI issues final pricing for satellite spectrum use and associated charges. The communications minister indicated the policy and licensing groundwork for satellite broadband is largely complete, with two GMPCS licenses issued and one additional letter of intent granted. The final trigger is the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s decision on spectrum pricing and usage fees for satcom bands. After that, operators can commence rollouts—initially for enterprise and backhaul, then for consumer broadband in selected markets. Bharti-backed Eutelsat OneWeb and Reliance Jio’s satellite unit are positioned to move early, with constellation capacity and gateways progressing.
Salinas Gold has launched a private LTE network in partnership with Nokia, Ávato, and Venko to enable secure, real-time connectivity across its remote mining operations in Mato Grosso, Brazil.

African AI Compute Is Moving Local. Telecom operators and digital infrastructure players are racing to stand up AI-grade capacity on the continent as demand, latency, and data-sovereignty pressures converge. MTN Group is negotiating with US and European partners to co-invest in AI-ready facilities and offer capacity to enterprises across multiple African markets. Cassava Technologies is accelerating its sovereign cloud strategy with five AI-focused facilities slated across key African markets in the next 12 months. Earlier this year, Cassava partnered with Nvidia to launch an AI data centre in South Africa powered by the chipmaker’s GPUs, establishing a reference for accelerated infrastructure on the continent.
India’s Digital Communications Commission has sent most of TRAI’s satellite spectrum recommendations back for review, signaling a tougher stance on pricing, compliance, and market safeguards. TRAI recommended that satellite internet providers pay 4% of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) as spectrum usage charges, an additional Rs 500 per urban subscriber per year, and a minimum annual spectrum fee of Rs 3,500 per MHz when the AGR-linked payout falls short. At its September 16 meeting, the DCC—comprising senior DoT officials and representatives from finance, IT, and NITI Aayog—reviewed the satcom framework and withheld approval on most elements.
Fresh data from Nokia and GlobalData shows that private wireless and on-premise edge are delivering rapid ROI, unlocking AI at scale, and improving security and sustainability across industrial sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
About our tools, how they are built, and how to get involved.
TeckNexus Independent Tools
TeckNexus independent tools are assessments, selectors, ROI calculators, and AI prioritisation tools developed entirely by TeckNexus. The methodology, scoring logic, and outputs are owned by TeckNexus — no vendor funds, influences, or has visibility into individual results. They are free to complete. Accessing the full output and PDF report requires registration.
No. TeckNexus owns the methodology, scoring, and output logic for all independent tools. No vendor has paid to influence recommendations or results. If a vendor is referenced in an output — for example, as a category of solution — it is because the evidence supports it, not because of a commercial relationship.
Registration allows TeckNexus to generate and deliver a personalised PDF report, track your results if you return, and — with your permission — notify you of updated benchmarks or relevant intelligence. Registration is free. Your data is not shared with any vendor without your explicit consent.

Vertical Intelligence Platforms (Paid)
Each Vertical Intelligence Platform is a structured set of 25+ decision cards built from TeckNexus analysis of real enterprise private network deployments. They cover a specific industry — Manufacturing, Mining, Ports, Airports — and are organised into six sections: vertical overview, business priorities and use cases, private wireless strategy, proof and ecosystem, decision framework, and deployment readiness. They are updated continuously as new deployments emerge.
A subscription to one vertical gives you access to all 25+ decision cards for that industry, continuous updates as new deployments are analysed, and the ability to share access across your team. Each card is structured around a specific decision — use case selection, vendor shortlisting, deployment model, ROI prioritisation — so you can navigate directly to what you need.
A research report gives you a snapshot at a point in time. The Vertical Intelligence Platform is continuously updated and structured around decisions, not narrative. Instead of reading a 60-page PDF, you navigate directly to the card relevant to your current question — vendor selection, use case validation, deployment model — and get evidence-backed guidance without the research overhead.
No. Each vertical is subscribed to separately at $1,200 per year. This keeps pricing proportionate to what you actually need. If you require multiple verticals, contact us to discuss multi-vertical access.
Yes. Each vertical has a sample platform available — accessible from the tool cards on this page. The sample gives you a representative selection of decision cards so you can assess the depth and format before committing.
The platforms are built for enterprise technology and operations teams evaluating private network investment, vendors building go-to-market strategies for specific industries, and consultants or system integrators advising clients on deployment options. They are also used by telcos and managed service providers tracking enterprise buyer priorities by vertical.
