5G IN INDIA

The central government intends to cover 5G services across the country within two years, said Union Electronics and Information Technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently at an event.

The government, in mid-August, issued spectrum allocation letters to telecom service providers while asking them to prepare for the rollout of 5G services.

Earlier this month, Bharti Airtel said it had launched “Airtel 5G Plus” services in eight cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Siliguri, Nagpur and Varanasi – and would cover all of urban India in 2023.

Reliance Jio has also announced it will launch high-speed 5G telecom services by Diwali this year in multiple key cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Subsequently, it intends to expand its 5G network to every town, tehsil and talukas across the country by December of 2023, which is nearly 18 months from now.

5G is the fifth-generation mobile network capable of transmitting a large data set rapidly.

Compared to 3G and 4G, 5G has very low latency, enhancing user experiences in various sectors.
Low latency describes the efficiency of processing a very high volume of data messages with a minimal delay.
