The Department of Telecommunications is exploring new ways of providing 5G services. The Department of Telecommunications is now preparing to provide internet services to citizens through balloons and drones instead of mobile towers in case of emergency.
According to a recently published report, DOT will now provide mobile network to users with the help of balloons or drones in case of any emergency or when the mobile tower is not working. It is worth mentioning that DOT has also made preparations to improve the infrastructure for this.
When will this feature be available?
According to the information that has come out so far, this new method of providing network can be used by the Department of Telecommunications during any natural disaster or other emergency situation. In case of flood or storm in any area, it takes a lot of time to restore telecommunication services and people lose contact. It also takes time to install new mobile towers. In such a situation, this new technology will be used by the Department of Telecommunications to provide convenience to the citizens and communicate with them.
Using this new technology, 5G network will be extended to people through drones and balloons, which will enable agencies to reach people during an emergency or shutdown, so that they can know the situation and provide help quickly. Also, this technology will prove helpful in finding and rescuing people trapped in a disaster.
According to the report, the Department of Telecommunications may soon start trials of such a service. Telecom companies will test 5G network transmitters through drones and balloons, so that they can be used as an alternative communication system in case of emergency.
Let us tell you that its trial is likely to be completed by the Department of Telecommunications by next year i.e. June 2025. That is, after June 2025, this facility is likely to be used normally.
