$\"\"$ NEW DELHI: The telecom regulator has rejected the telecom department’s (DoT<\/a>) objections on two points in the watchdog's recommendations on mobile communications on aircraft in Indian airspace, and backed its views that foreign satellites and gateways should be used to provide the much-awaited services.
\n
\nThe in-flight connectivity (IFC) service, which will give flyers using domestic airlines and those coming to India via international routes, is expected to be made available in a few months, even as DoT officials plan to meet with the aviation secretary within a week to move ahead with the offering.
\n
“It’s an issue of understanding of technology between what Trai<\/a> has recommended and what the committee and DoT understands, so we have explained how the technology can work, which cannot happen by using only local satellites,” a Trai official said.
\n
\nWhile DoT has approved the broad contours of the service given by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) last month, it had raised objections flagged by the committee of secretaries on three counts with the regulator on May 15, and asked the authority to reconsider its suggestions.
\n
\nTrai, in its response, argued that the panel’s view of using Indian satellites and satellites approved by the department of space (DoS), with Indian gateways, “was not implementable.” It also gave the same reasoning while backing its other recommendation of allowing lawful Interception through mirror-mode gateway mechanism.
\n
\nIn a detailed note dated June 4, Trai explained that offering voice services was more complex than offering data or internet only services, which is why there were only a few IFC service providers who had created on-ground facilities in partnership with some foreign mobile service providers.
\n
\nSince several countries already offered IFC services, airlines would not be willing to modify the aircraft due to downtime and costs, and since they were governed by bi-lateral mutual agreements, Indian airlines may face the same issues while flying over other countries. “If we do not allow the foreign aircraft to provide the MCA (voice) services using their satellite and gateways over the Indian airspace, the other countries will also not allow the Indian aircraft to provide MCA services while over-flying their jurisdictions,” Trai reasoned.
\n
\nOn the issue of lawful interception raised by the CoS, Trai said that the IFC service provider and the partnering Indian unified licensee to ensure that lawful Interception happens through mirror-mode gateway mechanism. “If the use of foreign satellites and gateways are not permitted for MCA services, it would make the recommendation infructuous,” the authority added.
\n
\nOn the third point raised by DoT, of interface requirements for AES (aircraft earth station) need not be deployed, Trai reiterated its stand that the requirement was mandatory for accessing satellite networks in India.
\n
The inflight services were approved by a high-level inter-ministerial Telecom Commission<\/a>, headed by telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan, which would allow air travelers to access Internet over smartphones and make calls once the aircraft achieves a height of 3,000 meters.
\n
\nThe IFC initiative would broadly allow aircraft companies or manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing to forge alliances with multinational telecom carriers to deploy equipment, and enable them to enter into pacts with local broadband service providers.
\n
\nTrai has said that the tariffs for the service will be decided by the market, but experts say that service for domestic travel did not seem economically feasible as the tariffs would be high and returns on investments by airlines may not be justifiable.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":64465285,"title":"IoT initiatives should translate into business models across sectors: Telecom Secretary","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/iot-initiatives-should-translate-into-business-models-across-sectors-telecom-secretary\/64465285","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":64469209,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"TRAI rebuts DoT objections to In-flight connectivity views","synopsis":"The inflight services were approved by a high-level inter-ministerial Telecom Commission, headed by telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/trai-rebuts-dot-objections-to-in-flight-connectivity-views","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ETTelecom","artdate":"2018-06-05 22:28:00","lastupd":"2018-06-05 22:31:50","breadcrumbTags":["trai","Telecom Commission","Aruna Sundarajan","in flight internet","DoT","policy"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/trai-rebuts-dot-objections-to-in-flight-connectivity-views"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2018-06-05" data-index="article_1">

火车反驳点反对动态连接视图

新德里:电信监管机构拒绝了电信部门的(点)反对两个点在移动通信监管机构的建议在印度领空的飞机,并支持其观点,外国卫星和网关应该用于提供期待已久的服务。

动态连通性(IFC)服务,这将给传单使用国内航空公司通过国际航线和那些来到印度,预计可以在几个月内,即使点官员计划会见航空部长在一周内推进。

“这是一个问题的理解技术之间火车建议委员会和点理解,所以我们有解释技术如何工作,不能只通过使用本地卫星发生,”火车的一位官员说。

而点已批准服务的轮廓由印度电信管理局(火车)上个月,它已经提出异议标记的委员会秘书与监管机构5月15日,在三个方面,要求当局重新考虑其建议。

火车,在其反应,认为使用印度卫星和卫星的面板的观点通过空间(DoS),与印度网关”,没有可实现的。”也给了同样的推理而支持其他通过镜像模式网关允许合法拦截机制的建议。

在一份详细的报告日期为6月4日火车解释说,提供语音服务是更复杂的比只提供数据或互联网服务,这就是为什么只有少数国际金融公司创建了地面设施的服务提供者与一些外国移动服务提供商。

因为一些国家已经提供国际金融服务,航空公司不愿意修改飞机由于停机时间和成本,因为他们是由双边互惠协定,印度航空公司可能飞越其他国家也面临着同样的问题。“如果我们不允许外国飞机提供MCA(声音)服务使用他们的卫星和网关在印度领空,其他国家也不允许印度飞机提供MCA服务而over-flying司法管辖区,“火车的理由。

问题上提出的合法拦截,因为火车说IFC服务提供者和印度合作统一被许可方,确保合法拦截是通过镜像模式网关机制。“如果使用外国卫星和MCA服务网关不允许,这将使推荐徒劳的,“权威补充道。

点,提出的第三点的接口要求AES(飞机地球站)不需要部署,火车重申立场,要求是强制访问印度的卫星网络。

机上服务被高层部际批准电信委员会由电信部长阿鲁娜Sundararajan,这将允许航空旅客访问互联网智能手机和打电话一旦飞机达到3000米的高度。

IFC计划将广泛允许飞机空客和波音等公司或制造商与跨国电信运营商部署设备结成同盟,并使他们与当地宽带服务提供商签订协议。

火车说服务的关税将由市场决定,但专家认为,国内旅游服务看起来还不是经济可行的关税将由航空公司高、投资回报率可能并不合理。
