The government of India is looking to start exporting a full range of indigenously-designed 4G and 5G stacks in 2024, according to local press reports.
The reports noted that the move is a key part of the government’s policy to attract investments and use the technological developments as a key foreign policy tool.
Several countries such as Kenya, Mauritius, Papua New Guinea and Egypt, among others, have shown interest in India’s 4G and 5G stacks, according to the reports.
“India has received inquiries from at least 15 global telecom operators, as well as bilateral inquiries from nine nations. All of these requests will be systematically met, and Indian telecom technology will make its way abroad in the second half of 2024,” an official from India’s Department of Telecom (DoT) told local newspaper Business Standard.
