This clear upward trend indicates strong business expansion, driven by higher customer engagement, better monetization strategies, and increasing data and voice usage. The sustained quarter-on-quarter improvement underscores the company’s strengthening market position and operational efficiency.

This innovation, coupled with digital-twin based real-time feasibility checks, accelerated 5G and UBR deployment.
