\u201c...we are asking enterprises to sign up the demand because government wants what kind of demand is emerging to deploy captive networks\u2026based on the edmund, we will meet the criteria of getting spectrum\u2026we have consolidated all this the demand and submitted to the government about their requirements\u2026we are among the 20 companies who have been accepted.

<\/div><\/div>\u201cIn our space, consolidation brings benefits as it is fragmented. If you consolidat among platforms especially across the protocols such as 3GPP, WiFi and IoT, your investment to build a network will be much more obvious,\u201d he said.
