Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) has received a telecom service licence in Singapore. The facility-based operator license will allow the company to offer internet and voice roaming services.
Further, the licence allows RJIL to buy, operate and sell undersea and terrestrial fibre connectivity, set up its internet point of presence, offer internet transit and peering services as well as data and voice roaming services in Singapore.
The company has been building high capacity to support telecom services on its overseas network. In April 2013, RJIL along with Telekom Malaysia Berhad, Vodafone Group, Omantel (Oman), Etisalat (United Arab Emirates) and Dialog Axiata (Sri Lanka) signed a construction and maintenance agreement and a supply contract for the Bay of Bengal Gateway submarine communications cable system. The undersea cable system will link South East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East as well as Europe, Africa and Far East Asia.
In addition, RJIL has signed a strategic deal with Bharti Airtel, wherein it will provide data capacity on the former?s i2i submarine cable connecting India and Singapore.
