Telecom regulator TRAI today floated a consultation paper seeking views of the industry on spectrum allocation for short-range communication technologies used for residential and enterprise intra-telecommunication or in limited areas where cellular network is not available.
In the consultation paper, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has sought industry's view on whether Cordless Telecommunications System (CTS) technologies can co-exist with the existing cellular systems.
TRAI said unlike the landscape of India's telecom network, market growth has not been observed in residential and enterprise intra—telecommunication in the country due to limited wireless options available. “For intra-telecommunication requirements for residential and enterprises, wireless platform is the most widely used solution which also complements wire line networking solutions.
This consultation paper discusses the issues of current allocation of spectrum for CTS,” the statement said.
Majority of solution used in CTS is in 2.4 GHz spectrum.
This spectrum band is also used to operate wireless Local Area Network for computing devices.
