According to Tower and Infrastructure Providers Association (TAIPA), the essential telecom infrastructure operations and maintenance activities are running smoothly amid Covid-19-induced curfews and restrictions across various states.
TAIPA has said that the tower industry is better prepared to handle the work on ground as many processes and practices are already in place following the nationwide lockdown that was imposed in 2019.
Further, TAIPA has also reached out to the Centre and various states to address some of the issues early on, leading to timely action and outcomes.
As per TAIPA’s estimates, remote working and massive data requirements of people have led to an addition of 65,000 new towers in the last one year.
