印度电信监管局（TRAI）主席阿尼尔·库马尔·拉霍蒂表示，室内移动网络覆盖仍是一大缺口，并呼吁将网络连接纳入建筑设计，而不是在建筑完工后再加装。
TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti said indoor mobile coverage remains a major gap and called for connectivity to be built into building design rather than fixed after construction.
尽管室外移动网络覆盖有所改善，但印度电信监管局主席阿尼尔·库马尔·拉霍蒂在接受CNBC-TV18独家采访时表示，室内网络连接仍是印度电信行业面临的一项重大挑战。
Despite improvements in outdoor mobile coverage, indoor connectivity remains a major challenge for India's telecom sector, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti said in an exclusive interview with CNBC-TV18.
拉霍蒂表示，监管机构正推动更广泛地采用楼宇内部网络解决方案，并建立数字连接评级框架，以改善建筑内部的移动服务质量。“室内的信号覆盖质量仍然是一项挑战。”拉霍蒂说。
Lahoti said the regulator is pushing for greater use of in-building solutions and a digital connectivity rating framework to improve the quality of mobile services inside buildings. “Indoor quality of coverage still remains a challenge,” Lahoti said.
随着4G和5G网络不断扩展，这一问题显得尤为突出。移动信号在穿透墙壁时可能会减弱，而在大型或多层建筑中，这一问题会更加明显，因为信号可能需要穿过多层混凝土及其他材料。
The problem is particularly relevant as 4G and 5G networks expand. Mobile signals can weaken as they pass through walls, with the problem becoming more pronounced in large or multi-storey buildings where signals may have to travel through several layers of concrete and other materials.
印度电信监管局希望将网络连接纳入建筑规划。拉霍蒂表示，在建筑设计和施工过程中就应考虑室内网络连接，而不是等到住户入住后再着手解决这一问题。
TRAI wants connectivity planned into buildings Lahoti said indoor connectivity should be considered when buildings are designed and constructed, rather than treated as a problem to be solved after occupants move in. One solution is an in-building system that uses a network of small antennas distributed across a property.
一种解决方案是在楼宇内部署系统，利用分布于整栋建筑内的小型天线网络，将移动信号引入建筑并覆盖整个场所，从而提供更加稳定的网络覆盖。
The mobile signal is brought into the building and then distributed throughout the premises, helping provide more consistent coverage.
“这意味着要在建筑内安装分布式小型天线，将信号引入建筑并分发至各处，从而让整栋建筑都能获得良好的数字连接体验。”拉霍蒂说。
“What it means is that you install small distributed antennas across the building, and the signal is brought to the building and distributed throughout it, so that you get a good digital connectivity experience throughout the building,” Lahoti said.
印度电信监管局建议，将此类系统的相关设施纳入建筑设计和施工标准。
TRAI has recommended that provisions for such systems be incorporated into building design and construction standards.
这种理念旨在避免居民或办公人员等到搬入建筑后才发现移动网络连接不佳，从而迫使开发商或建筑所有者事后改造并加装相关设施。建筑或将获得数字连接评级印度电信监管局（TRAI）还在推动一套数字连接评级框架，以便根据建筑数字连接的质量对其进行评估。
The idea is to avoid a situation where residents or office workers discover poor mobile connectivity only after a building is occupied, forcing developers or building owners to retrofit solutions. Buildings could get digital connectivity ratings TRAI is also promoting a digital connectivity rating framework that would allow buildings to be assessed on the quality of their digital connectivity.
该框架旨在向潜在买家和租户表明其可预期的物业连接体验，类似于评估建筑时可获得的其他信息。
The framework is intended to give prospective buyers and tenants an indication of the connectivity experience they can expect from a property, much like other information available when evaluating a building.
拉霍蒂表示，在与利益相关方讨论后，TRAI修订了该框架。更新后的系统允许使用半星级评级，而不再仅限整星级评级。
Lahoti said TRAI revised the framework after discussions with stakeholders. The updated system allows half-star ratings, rather than restricting properties to whole-star ratings.
该系统还规定在规划、施工和最终交付使用等不同阶段进行评级。这样做是为了解决一个问题：物业规划一经批准便可能开始营销，而这通常远早于施工完成。
It also provides for ratings at different stages — planning, construction and final commissioning. This is intended to address the fact that properties can be marketed soon after plans are approved, well before construction is completed.
TRAI还针对现有建筑推出了一套审计流程。业主可以利用该流程评估数字连接基础设施、发现短板并加以改进，而无需取得正式评级。认知不足仍是障碍拉霍蒂表示，政府机构、房地产开发商、顾问机构、学术机构和消费者对该框架的认知不足，是其推广受到阻碍的原因之一。
TRAI has also introduced an audit process for existing buildings. Property owners can use it to assess their digital connectivity infrastructure, identify gaps and make improvements without having to obtain a formal rating. Lack of awareness remains a hurdle Lahoti said wider adoption of the framework is being held back partly by a lack of awareness among government agencies, real estate developers, consultants, academic institutions and consumers.
他说，建筑在设计时往往没有充分考虑数字连接需求。其不足通常要到住户入住后才会显现，而此时解决问题所需的成本更高、影响也更大。
Buildings are often designed without giving enough consideration to digital connectivity, he said. The shortcomings then become apparent only after occupants move in, when fixing the problem can be more expensive and disruptive.
TRAI正在与不同利益相关方举办研讨会，宣传楼宇内部网络解决方案和数字连接评级框架。
TRAI is conducting workshops with different stakeholders to raise awareness about in-building solutions and the digital connectivity rating framework.
拉霍蒂表示，该框架已经得到初步采用，部分物业正在参与评级，其他相关方也在推进这一流程。他预计，随着电信技术不断发展，室内连接的重要性将日益提升。
Lahoti said the framework has already seen some initial adoption, with propertiesing and others going through the rating process. He expects the importance of indoor connectivity to grow as telecom technology evolves.
“五年后，我们可能会看到6G开始商用，”拉霍蒂说。“无缝连接将变得绝对必要，也非常重要。”印度电信监管局（TRAI）的更广泛目标是，让数字连接在建筑规划阶段就被纳入考量，而不是等建筑完工后再让开发商和使用者操心。
“In five years' time, we may see the rollout of 6G,” Lahoti said. “Seamless connectivity will become absolutely essential and very important.”TRAI's broader objective is to make digital connectivity a consideration at the planning stage of a building, rather than something developers and occupants have to worry about after construction is complete.
