Mukesh Ambani eyes next-gen security biz with 4G push

New Delhi: Next-generation security and disaster management business seems to be next on the radar of Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries, which will utilise its 4G telecom services for this new initiative.
Besides, RIL also plans to partner a global major for this new business and is roping in Vivek Lall, formerly a top Indian executive of global defence major Boeing, to head this venture, sources said.
“Reliance sees strong synergies in our rolling out 4G Broadband Wireless services and their use for enabling Homeland Security, Safe, Secure & Smart Cities as well as Disaster Management preparedness,” a person in the know of the matter said.
“RIL plans to partner with global leaders in this domain to bring the latest technologies and innovation,” he said, adding that Vivek Lall will be joining to drive these efforts.
An RIL spokesperson did not offer any comments.
