Technical News Office – BSNL has brought a new revolution in the Indian telecom industry. The company recently launched the D2D service, i.e. Direct-to-Device, which allows calls to be made without a SIM card or mobile network. This service connects mobile devices via satellite. This new service will worsen the problems of Mukesh Ambani’s Jio and Bharti Mittal’s Airtel. Let us know in detail…
Why is D2D technology so special?
In the event of a natural disaster or other emergency situations, when the network is down, the D2D service can help people stay connected to each other. D2D services can offer a way to connect people where traditional networks cannot reach. This initiative by BSNL is an important step towards India’s advancement in the field of satellite technology.
How does the D2D service work?
BSNL has partnered with Viasat for this service. Using a simple Android smartphone, users can call another person up to 36,000 kilometers away via satellite technology.
The future of satellite connectivity in India
Apart from BSNL, other companies like Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea are also working on satellite connectivity services. Besides, Elon Musk’s Starlink and Amazon are also planning to start their services in India. Additionally, the government is engaged in the process of allocating spectrum needed for satellite connectivity. Once the spectrum is allocated, companies will be able to start their satellite services.
Game changer in the telecommunications industry
D2D service can be a game changer for the Indian telecom industry. This will not only provide better connectivity to the people but will also help make India a global leader in satellite technology.
