Why it matters
The challenge is designed to back technologies that address the fact that over 500 million Indians remain offline, where ground-based telecom towers have limited range. Okulo Aerospace is now seeking partners to run a 5G-enabled High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) pilot in an underserved rural corridor.
