India’s space-based broadband assistance sector could be worth $13 billion by 2025 as Jio, OneWeb, Tata Group’s Nelco, Canada’s Telesat and Amazon consider launching satellite broadband services in the country.
As 5g is set to launch in India, it has led created a remarkable appearance in the global industry. SpaceX, which provides Starlink broadband services from space, has applied for a Global Mobile Personal Communications Satellite Services (GMPCS) license to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to tackle the formulation of the Internet in India.
The Bharti Group-backed OneWeb satellite division and Reliance Jio Infocomm have already been authorized, but billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX is the third company to apply for a grant.
SpaceX should also establish a ground station in India and deploy global satellite communications capability in India. This approval must be made by the National Center for Space Promotion and Approval (IN-SPACE) of India, the central regulatory body tasked with attracting private capital to the space sector.
After global companies have expressed interest in Indian space, competition in India’s relatively developing space broadband services sector is intensifying. Jio, OneWeb, Tata Group’s Nelco, Canada’s Telesat, and Amazon are also studying the possibility of projecting satellite broadband services in India.
