AI to Power India’s 6G Self-Healing Networks

AI to Power India’s 6G Self-Healing Networks

Telecom Secretary Neeraj Mittal underscored that AI will be central to the next generation of networks, not an add-on. The direction aligns with industry momentum: 5G-Advanced is already introducing AI-enabled RAN and core features via 3GPP, while 6G initiatives under the ITU-R IMT-2030 framework envision AI-native control loops, sensing-assisted connectivity, and tight integration of compute and communications. India expects 6G trials to begin around 2028, with commercial deployments to follow. Operators that harden their AI and automation capabilities during 5G-Advanced will enter 6G with a competitive execution advantage.

Indonesia Telcos Telkomsel, IOH, and XLSMART API Alliance (CAMARA) Boosts Security

Indonesia Telco API Alliance (CAMARA) Boosts Security
Indonesia’s three leading mobile players – Telkomsel, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), and XLSMART -have formed a joint Telco API Alliance to standardize network-exposed APIs and harden the country’s digital ecosystem against fraud. The alliance commits all three operators to a common telco API protocol aligned with CAMARA, the open-source, Linux Foundation–hosted API project supported by the GSMA Open Gateway initiative. The initial roll-out centers on customer protection and fraud prevention—areas where network signals offer high value. SIM Swap detection flags recent SIM changes, a leading indicator of account takeover risk.

TRAI says 70-80% of India’s Mobile Data Usage Happens Indoors

TRAI says 70-80% of India’s Mobile Data Usage Happens Indoors
India’s telecom usage is now predominantly indoors, and TRAI’s new property rating framework puts digital connectivity on par with core utilities. TRAI’s chairperson flagged a decisive shift: most mobile data is consumed inside homes, offices, malls, hospitals, and transit hubs. Connectivity inside buildings is moving from convenience to necessity. TRAI’s 2024 Regulations introduce a voluntary, performance-based star rating that assesses how ready a property is to deliver high-quality broadband and mobile connectivity. The framework encourages developers to embed Digital Connectivity Infrastructure (DCI) at design stage, aligns with Digital India and Smart Cities Mission, and invites ministries and agencies to incorporate DCI into guidelines, tenders, and training.
