Trai launches platform to rate properties on digital connectivity

Telecom regulator Trai on Friday launched Digital Connectivity Rating (DCR) platform, which will allow consumers to check the digital connectivity ratings of properties before buying or leasing them.

Consumers can search for rated properties by name, certificate ID or location, compare them and verify their digitally signed rating certificates through a QR code, the regulator said in a statement.

Under the rating framework, properties are assessed on parameters relating to fibre readiness, mobile network availability, in-building solutions and Wi-Fi infrastructure, with benchmarks for different property categories.
