How will mobile work without tower? Understand TRAI’s complete plan
TRAI has recently submitted its recommendations to the government regarding spectrum allocation and its framework for satellite-based services. this technology ‘Direct-to-Cell’ Is called technology. In this, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites will be used instead of mobile towers. These satellites will work like mobile towers in space, due to which the mobile network will work uninterrupted even in dense forests, high mountains and even in the middle of the sea.
Satellite network will become lifeline in emergency
Often during natural disasters like earthquakes or floods, mobile towers on the ground get damaged, which hinders relief operations. Satellite network will prove to be most effective in such a situation.
