TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti emphasized the critical importance of resilient subsea networks in supporting India’s AI and digital ambitions. Lahoti highlighted the need for technical innovation, operational resilience, and robust policy solutions to address the challenges faced by submarine cable systems, which form the backbone of the digital economy.
Measures such as improved route planning, real-time monitoring, and redundant routes can help mitigate physical damage and outages. Lahoti stressed the necessity for international cooperation and strong regulatory frameworks to bolster the security and resilience of subsea networks, which are vulnerable to natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, and increasing data demand.
Lahoti also underlined the importance of implementing robust cybersecurity measures and continuous threat monitoring to safeguard cloud infrastructure, which faces various challenges like data security threats, privacy issues, and operational costs.
Future strategies for digital infrastructure will focus on private sector investments, AI-driven network optimization, edge cloud convergence, and sustainability goals. Maintaining a reliable, secure, and resilient global digital infrastructure requires a holistic approach encompassing technical, operational, and policy solutions.
