<p>Speaking at the opening ceremony of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA) and the India Mobile Congress (2024), Vaishnaw also mentioned that the Department of Telecoms (DoT) had eliminated the requirement that licensees obtain a Wireless Operating License (WOL) under section 4 of the Indian Telegraph Act of 1885.</p>
<p>This eliminates the need for licensees under section 4 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, to obtain a separate Wireless Operating License (WoL). Establishing, maintaining, and running telecommunications systems—including those that make use of radio equipment—no longer requires a WoL. The regulatory sandbox will allow us to provide extremely simple permissions via portals. Permissions may be obtained more quickly by applying via the centralized Saral Sanchar Portal, according to Vaishnaw.</p>
<p>Speaking about the eighth edition of the IMC, which will take place in October, the minister stated that in addition to 6G and 5G use-case showcases, cloud & edge computing, IoT, semiconductors, cybersecurity, green technology, satcom, and electronics manufacturing, this year’s IMC will place a significant emphasis on artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and circular economy.</p>
<p>Over 350 exhibitors and 150,000 guests are anticipated at the IMC and ITU conferences.</p>
<p>The DoT and Swedish telecom equipment manufacturer Ericsson inked a Memorandum of Understanding to provide authorized 5G training at the event. By strengthening capacity building and skill development in the 100 5G use case laboratories, the partnership hopes to empower academic institutions to assist staff members and students in the creation of cutting-edge 5G products and use cases.</p>
