Cisco’s Webex India gets licence to offer telecom connectivity

New Delhi: US telecom gear maker Cisco’s subsidiary Webex India has received a telecom licence from the government that will enable it to provide enterprise grade national and international telecom connectivity. Webex has become the first Over-The-Top (OTT) player to get a telecom licence.

At present, the company is a web-conferencing platform for enterprises. It has already procured a virtual network operator licence in July.

“We can confirm that Cisco was granted a telecom licence. This licence will enable us to offer enhanced Webex collaboration services to our partners and customers in India,” a Cisco spokesperson told PTI on Tuesday.
