TRAI's new initiative extends star ratings to buildings for digital connectivity, manual prepared

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has prepared a draft for a star rating system of building for digital connectivity. This forthcoming system is expected to provide star ratings similar to those used for electrical appliances. The ratings will focus on various factors, including the availability of mobile networks, Wi-Fi infrastructure, and the readiness of optical fiber across the country. The draft highlights that a significant portion of data consumption occurs within buildings. High-frequency bands of 4G and 5G networks, which deliver high-speed data, may encounter obstacles due to building walls and materials.
