TRAI seeks views on spectrum for short-range communication

New Delhi, Dec 26 : The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Monday floated a consultation paper seeking views from industry on spectrum allocation for short-range communication technologies for residential and enterprise intra-telecommunication requirements.

According to TRAI, due to the proliferation of mobile telecommunications in all walks of life in last decade, the landscape of India's telecom network has changed significantly.

However, similar growth has not been observed in residential and cordless telecommunications system (CTS) in the country. This has been attributed primarily to limited wireless options available in the market.

"For intra-telecommunication requirements for residential and enterprises, wireless platform is the most widely used solution which also complements wireline networking solutions.This consultation paper discusses the issues of current allocation of spectrum for CTS (cordless
telecommunications system)," TRAI said in a statement.

The regulator has asked stakeholders to provide their written comments on the issues raised in the consultation paper by Jan 31, 2012 and counter-comments on the comments by Feb 10, 2012. (IANS -Posted on / )
