RJio offers exclusive communication network for first responders

Reliance Jio has proposed to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India that it can set up an exclusive communication network for first responders including police and entities like Railways if the remaining 700 MHz spectrum band is reserved for telecom services.

Reliance Jio’s submission to the regulator gains significance in the context that a significant portion of spectrum in the 700MHz band, approximately 10 MHz was exclusively set aside for the Indian Railways.
