The Battle for India's Unconnected Regions
While urban metros enjoy gigabit fiber and ubiquitous 5G, over 300,000 villages across mountainous, forested, and island terrains lack physical fiber backhaul.
The convergence of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations and 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is solving this final frontier.
