Satcom networks present opportunity to connect unconnected: Scindia

Communications minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday said non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) or satellite communication networks presents an opportunity to connect the unconnected regions and extend coverage to most remote corners of the country.

“The evolution of NTNs will unlock new vistas in communication technologies, igniting innovative applications across diverse sectors, and ultimately advancing our collective journey towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs),” Scindia said at the South Asian Telecommunication Regulators’ Council meeting hosted by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
