TRAI Calls Out India’s Indoor Connectivity Blind Spot, Here’s How We Are Addressing It.

With over 850 million internet users, widespread mobile adoption, and expanding 5G coverage, connectivity is now central to how India works, learns, and delivers services. Yet one critical gap remains unsolved: the infrastructure inside buildings has not kept pace with the pace of digital transformation.

A Gap That Needs to be Bridged Every Day

TRAI reports show that 70 to 80 percent of mobile data in India is consumed indoors. Still, in many offices, malls, hospitals, and residential complexes, mobile signals drop, Wi-Fi networks struggle under heavy loads, and tenants face constant disruptions.

TRAI’s leadership has urged the country to treat connectivity like electricity and water supply. That is the principle we work with—making connectivity a reliable, invisible, always-on utility.

Why Indoor Blind Spots Hurt More Than Just Signals

Connectivity failures are often dismissed as a few signal bars dropping, but the consequences run deeper. Enterprises face disrupted cloud access and failed video conferences. Retailers see POS downtime. Hospitals risk delayed access to patient data. Developers find that poor connectivity slows leasing velocity and reduces asset value.

That is why we deploy carrier-neutral DAS, high-speed FTTX, and enterprise-grade Managed Wi-Fi as one integrated infrastructure layer. When buildings are connected end-to-end, every digital experience becomes effortless.

TRAI’s Framework: Formalising Market Demands

TRAI has proposed a voluntary star-rating framework to assess digital readiness in buildings, covering fiber access, rooftop provisions, ducting, and Wi-Fi support. At iBUS, we design scalable connectivity solutions that anticipate these standards, keeping modern buildings ready for today’s users and tomorrow’s regulations.

What Digitally-Ready Buildings Need

Across industries, we see the same baseline requirements:

• • Seamless 4G/5G mobile coverage in every corner
• • High-speed, secure Wi-Fi that can handle thousands of devices
• • Deployment models that avoid heavy upfront CapEx

We deliver this through builder-centric mobility solutions and fully managed in-building wireless networks. Our OpEx-led approach removes upfront capital costs while we handle design, deployment, monitoring, and upgrades.

Proven Impact Across Sectors

Our networks are embedded in some of the most critical and complex environments in India:

• Residential & Co-living: Seamless 4G/5G coverage and managed Wi-Fi across rooms, basements, and enclosed spaces
• Corporate Offices & IT Parks: Low-latency networks that support mission-critical enterprise applications
• Hospitals: Uninterrupted mobile coverage and Wi-Fi for patient care and telemedicine
• Malls & Retail: POS reliability, tenant operations, and customer Wi-Fi across high-traffic spaces
• Government & Public Institutions: Secure, always-on connectivity for sensitive facilities
• Educational Campuses: Campus-wide Wi-Fi and DAS for learning and research
• Hospitality: Uninterrupted guest connectivity across rooms, lobbies, and event spaces

Every deployment reinforces that digital readiness is now foundational, not optional.

From Optional to Essential

The demand for indoor connectivity is driven by user expectations and regulatory momentum. For developers and CXOs, treating connectivity as a core utility is now essential. At iBUS, we continue to prove it can be delivered at scale, sustainably, and without adding capital burden.
