Let us consider that there are 5 villages and the objective is to cover all these villages with minimum number of towers.

Does a GSM base station provide good coverage in rural parts of India?

We assume that a typical GSM Base Station in rural parts of India provides coverage to areas within 5 Kilometres (KM) radial distance. We also assume that villages within 2KM radial distance of the Base Stations would receive a stronger signal strength thereby enjoying higher quality of service.

How many mobile base transceiver stations are there in 2024?

The numbers of Mobile Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) are 29.48 lakh as of Nov.2024. The numbers of mobile towers are 8.13 lakh as of Nov 2024. (iv) Increase in FDI: FDI (equity flow) in the telecommunication sector during 2024-25 (April to September) was US$ 670 million compared to US$ 282 million during 2023-24. (v) Data Cost B.

How many base stations are available?

The number of Base Stations made available is varied and the proportion of population that can be covered with high quality signal is obtained. The number of Base Stations is taken to be a constraint for the various scenarios. The proportion of population to be covered (i.e within 5KM) is 100% in each scenario and is taken as a constraint.

How many telecom towers/base stations are envisaged under usof scheme?
