Jio arm seeks flexible use of spectrum for satellite and mobile phone services networks

Jio Satellite Communications has written to telecom regulator Trai to allow the flexible use of spectrum for satellite and mobile phone services networks.

The company in a letter dated September 5 to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India chairman P.D. Vaghela said technology is evolving that will enable convergence of satellite and terrestrial networks and, therefore, the regulator should consider the flexible use of radio frequency for terrestrial and satellite services.

In the letter, Jio Satellite cited the decision of the New Zealand government to allow flexible use of high frequencies in the 24-30 Ghz band.
