Emergency protocol active
India Pakistan tension: In view of the current tension in India and Pakistan, telecom companies Airtel, Jio, BSNL and VI have turned on emergency protocols. Telecom companies have turned on this protocol to maintain telecom connectivity in the border area during emergency. According to the report, all telecom companies have activated the Emergency Operation Center (EOCS) at the state and district level.
Emergency protocol applied
Recently, the Disaster Management Department of the Telecom Department issued an order to the telecom operators regarding the smooth operation at the base transverse station (BTS) during the Emergency. Telecom companies were ordered to maintain better connectivity for people within 100 kilometers of the international border.
In the order issued on 7 May, Telecom operators have directed Airtel, Jio, BSNL and VI to maintain uninterrupted connectivity and coordinate with each other to guarantee network operations. The meeting held after India launched Operation Sindoor has asked telecom companies to pay special attention to the border area and create an updated list of infrastructure and installations, so that their safety and continuous functioning can be ensured in an emergency.
Intra-circle roaming
Apart from this, telecom operators have also been instructed to reserve enough diesel to provide power to BTS so that there is no lack of fuel in diesel generators. Also, telecom companies have also been instructed to activate the intra circle roaming (ICT). Telecom companies activate intra circle roaming in emergency conditions, so that telecom connectivity is not interrupted. If there is no home network on an intra-circle roaming on, users can call from their number users using any telecom operator network during disaster.
