• Tejas Network will supply, install, and support its optical transmission

network (OTN) for extending Airtel’s optical network towards the edge,

supporting 5G backhaul, B2B services, and broadband applications.

• According to the TRAI, Reliance Jio has gained 6.51 million wireless

customers in July, taking its gross user base to 443.21 million while Airtel’s

rose 1.94 million to 354.05 million. Vi, by contrast, once more lost 1.43

million customers, shrinking its total mobile user base to 271.9 million,

indicating its continuing inability to compete effectively with stronger

rivals, Jio and Airtel.
