📞 Empowering Trust in Every Call – #CNAP Is Here! The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), along with TRAI, is pioneering a much-needed transformation in India's telecom ecosystem through Caller Name Presentation (CNAP). This technology-driven initiative will allow telecom subscribers to view the verified name of the caller—sourced directly from the Customer Application Form (CAF) data—even if the number isn’t saved in the recipient’s phone. It’s a smart, privacy-aware solution to combat the rise in spam, scams, and robocalls. 🛠 How #CNAP Works: - Integrated at the network level by operators, not via third-party apps. - Ensures name display for incoming calls across 4G and 5G networks. - Uses authenticated customer data from telecom databases. - Operates within the guidelines of user privacy and regulatory compliance. At OPPO, we deeply value our users' trust and always prioritize their safety. We’re aligned with the government’s proactive vision and committed to supporting CNAP across our devices to create a secure and transparent communication experience. 👏 A huge appreciation to the Government of India Jyotiraditya M Scindia , #DoT and #TRAI for driving this next-gen safeguard for Indian telecom users. Together, we move toward a smarter and safer connected future. #CNAP #TelecomInnovation #OPPORnD #DigitalIndia #TRAI #DoT #UserPrivacy #SpamProtection #SmartphoneSecurity #NetworkLevelCallerID #TechForGood #4G #5G #CustomerFirst #OPPO

Adani Group has decided not to pursue telecom plans and instead sold its 400 MHz spectrum in the 26 GHz band to Bharti Airtel for use in various circles, including Gujarat, Mumbai, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Here's why - Focus on Data Centers : Adani Group plans to utilize its resources to support its data centers and businesses rather than expanding into the telecom sector. The group aims to create a unified digital platform to accelerate the pace and scale of its digitization efforts. - Strategic Use of Spectrum : Adani initially acquired the spectrum to create a private network for its businesses, including electricity distribution, airports, gas retailing, and ports. However, selling the spectrum to Airtel suggests a shift in strategy to prioritize its core businesses. - Prioritizing Digital Infrastructure : Adani Group is focusing on integrating its digital infrastructure portfolio, including data centers, terrestrial fiber, submarine cables, industrial cloud, AI innovation labs, cybersecurity, and super apps. This strategic move allows the group to concentrate on its strengths and leverage technology for business growth. Important factors of the Deal: - Spectrum Allocation: Adani Data Networks Ltd (ADNL) acquired the 400 MHz spectrum in the 26 GHz band for 20 years, which has now been sold to Bharti Airtel. - Business Focus: Adani Group's decision to sell the spectrum indicates a shift in focus towards supporting its existing businesses and data centers rather than venturing into the telecom market. - Digital Transformation : The Adani Group aims to digitally integrate its current and future businesses, leveraging technologies like AI, cloud, and cybersecurity to drive growth and efficiency.

With over 480 mid-market GCCs across the country (NASSCOM–Zinnov), India’s #GCC landscape is expanding fast into tier 2 cities like Ahmedabad, Pune, Coimbatore and Kochi. This growth is driving a sharp need for #robustICT solutions including scalable cloud, secure data environments, compliance-ready networks and strong security frameworks.   In this article in #CXO Today, I highlight how this shift is raising the demand for enterprise-grade infrastructure across India, and why #ICT partners now play a more strategic role as these centres move into advanced product innovation and digital operations.    At Ishan Technologies, we believe the next phase of growth will hinge on how well infrastructure providers can deliver secure, sovereign and future-ready technology foundations for these GCCs.   Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dX_c8mUh #ishantechnologies #ictforgcc #gcc #indiagcc #productinnovation #cxotoday

The transition from 5G to 6G is gaining momentum, with India positioning itself as a leader in designing and deploying 6G technologies through the Bharat 6G Vision. By 2030, India aims to be a frontline contributor in the design, development, and deployment of 6G technology. The Department of Telecom (DoT) has played a crucial role in setting up the 'Bharat 6G Alliance' with industry, academia, national research institutions, and standards organizations to align with the Bharat 6G Vision. Recently, I had the privilege of moderating a panel at the ongoing Convergence India Expo, where telecom industry leaders shared insights on how India can secure a leading position in the global 6G landscape. The discussions centered around the 6G roadmap, the pivotal role of emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing in shaping the 6G ecosystem, the readiness of regulatory frameworks, and the essential talent required to bridge the skill demand and supply gap. I extend my gratitude to all the panelists for their valuable contributions to the enriching discussion, providing actionable insights for the future of connectivity. #CI2025 #B2BExpo #IndustryLeaders #5Gto6G #TechEvolution #FutureConnectivity https://lnkd.in/gnBV_n7h

🚨 Is Jio Quietly Using Wi-Fi in the 26 GHz Band for Its FWA Rollout? Just uploaded a new video breaking down a fascinating speculation: Jio’s so-called UBR strategy might not be using the congested 5 GHz unlicensed band after all — but rather their 1 GHz of licensed 26 GHz mmWave spectrum. And surprisingly, they might be running Wi-Fi (not 5G NR) at the physical layer. 💡 Why would they do this? Drastically cheaper CPEs Higher EIRP and better coverage potential Zero interference (licensed spectrum) Avoids 5G NR’s complexity, yet delivers high FWA speeds ⚠️ But here’s the policy twist: If UBR runs on Wi-Fi PHY, should the data consumption be reported as “5G” to TRAI? Is India’s 5G performance being inflated by Wi-Fi over licensed spectrum? 🎥 Watch the deep-dive explainer here: https://lnkd.in/gnNvRNhE Would love to hear your thoughts — is this clever optimization, or a challenge to how we define 5G? #5GIndia #JioUBR #TelecomPolicy #FWA #WiFi6 #mmWave #26GHz #BroadbandStrategy #TRAI #DOT #UBR #TechSpeculation #NetworkInnovation
