Bharti Enterprises vice chairman Rajan Bharti Mittal said on Tuesday that his satellite telecommunications service is ready for launch in India and they are now waiting for Greenlight at the center.
“In India, we are waiting for the spectrum allocation to be completed. Both of our stations are ready, one in Gujarat and one in Tamil Nadu. The base station is ready. So once we get permission, we can do it Rajan Bharti Mittal told ANI in an interview with the World Economic Forum.
He said Bharti Enterprises has launched 635 satellites and is serving in other parts of the world.
In the debate around spectrum allocation through administrative processes or through auctions, he reiterated Bharti Airtel’s position, noting that satellite companies should be required to pay licensing fees and obtain spectrum through auctions, just like traditional telecom operators.
“We all say this should be a level playing field. The unconnected area that ground networks cannot be carried out, which is an excellent service provider in particular for broadband. Therefore, it is important to remember that Satcom services are being offered far away as well as maritime. , defense or other areas, there should be a different sports field.” He added
“We are waiting for the government’s advice,” he said.
Reliance Jio, led by Akash Ambani, also announced to satellite companies that they would pay licensing fees and purchase Spectrum for their telecom services, just like the Legacy Telecom Companies.
Elon Musk’s Star-Stripe Links and Amazon Project Kuiper Project global peers want to manage the distribution of spectrum for satellite services.
In terms of pricing for such satellite-based telecom services, he said SATCOM will be able to deliver in faraway areas at “a good price.”
“I think we firmly believe that India’s ground network is now very powerful and now has 4G and 5G in place. I don’t think urban areas need satellites, it’s really for faraway areas, and that’s what it means to consider the topic of administrative prices is kept in mind, pricing It shouldn’t be that high, but on land they should be related to the ground network that also happens in the rest of the world, I’m sure we’ll be at the price point in India and we’ll be able to deliver in faraway areas at a decent price.
Mittal said that over the past few weeks, it has caused widespread work-life balance problems, and Mittal said his company believes that qualitative work results should be provided. Rather than quantitative work output.
He added: “At Airtel and Bharti Enterprise, everyone who owns the brand can use it.”
“Family is important, your health is important, yes, it’s because you have to balance it, there’s no different saying, but I’m just saying qualitative output is important.”
