TRAI Employs RANext for Digital Connectivity Ratings
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has chosen RANext Technologies to be a Digital Connectivity Rating Agency (DCRA).
This means RANext will check how good the internet and digital setup is in buildings.
They will look at things like the quality of internet cables, Wi-Fi, and how ready the building is for smart technologies.
This is important because more and more people are working, learning, and doing other things online.
The rating will help people know if a building has good digital setup before they buy or rent it.
It will also encourage builders to make sure their buildings have good internet and digital services from the start.
RANext's founder, Ankit Goel, said this is a big step for their company, making them a trusted name in checking digital infrastructure.
TRAI has empanelled RANext Technologies as a Digital Connectivity Rating Agency (DCRA).
RANext will evaluate digital infrastructure of properties, focusing on fibre, connectivity, broadband, Wi-Fi, and smart tech readiness.
The assessment aims to provide a standardized star-rating framework for digital readiness.
This initiative is crucial as India transitions to a digital-first economy with high reliance on internet connectivity.
The DCRA framework will help developers, property managers, and buyers make informed decisions about digital infrastructure.
