Navi Mumbai airport rebuts telcos, says mobile connectivity is fully available
Navi Mumbai International Airport Ltd (NMIAL) has rejected claims by telecom operators that mobile connectivity is unavailable at the upcoming airport, saying such assertions are “factually incorrect” and defending its decision to deploy a neutral-host telecom infrastructure.
In a statement issued by its spokesperson, NMIAL said, “Airports are critical national infrastructure with unique security and operational requirements. Globally, most airports adopt a single, neutral-host telecom infrastructure to ensure uniform coverage, safety, and operational efficiency.” It added that the Navi Mumbai airport is following the framework adopted at major Indian airports such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
