Airtel和爱立信进行了印度第一次农村5G试验
两家公司在一份联合声明中表示:“这次试验展示了5G通过增强移动宽带(eMBB)和固定无线接入(FWA)服务等解决方案实现高速宽带接入，从而弥合数字鸿沟的巨大潜力。”
这次演示在德里/NCR郊区的Bhaipur Bramanan村进行，使用了印度电信部分配的5G试验频谱。
两家公司在一份联合声明中表示:“这次试验展示了5G通过增强移动宽带(eMBB)和固定无线接入(FWA)服务等解决方案实现高速宽带接入，从而弥合数字鸿沟的巨大潜力。”
该试验还表明，商用的基于3gpp的5G智能手机可以连接到测试网络，并在距离现场超过10公里的距离内记录超过100Mbps的速度。
5G站点由爱立信3gpp兼容的5G无线电提供支持。试验利用已分配的3500MHz频段中频试验频谱和现有的FDD频谱进行。
“我们展示了印度首个5G网络，也是首个5G云游戏体验，附近的旅馆华为还自豪地在农村地区进行了全国首次5G试验。在通过FWA等用例将宽带覆盖提供到最后一英里方面，5G将是一项转型技术，并为更具包容性的数字经济做出贡献，”Airtel首席技术官Randeep Singh Sekhon表示。
印度可能会错过2022年1月至3月的5G拍卖时间表
一位了解事态发展的人士表示:“监管机构必须在11月之前发出定价建议，如果出现这种情况，那么拍卖可以在2022年1月至3月的季度举行。”
爱立信东南亚、大洋洲和印度地区负责人Nunzio Mirtillo补充说:“爱立信和Airtel在印度正在进行的5G试验中实现了扩大覆盖的技术里程碑，这一里程碑意义更加重大，因为它展示了5G如何在印度‘连接未连接的人’，实现更快的5G部署，并真正帮助印度实现‘数字印度’愿景。”
Airtel此前曾在5G环境中演示了云游戏，这是其在古尔冈的Manesar进行的5G试验的一部分。它使用了交通部为此目的提供的中频段频谱。
这家由苏尼尔·米塔尔(Sunil mittal)领导的电信公司也一直在努力确保在印度销售的任何新的5G手机都必须支持印度现有的5G频段，包括毫米波频段。
今年早些时候，Airtel在海得拉巴成功地通过4G网络演示了5G服务，标志着一个新的5G网络行业第一。它还在印度多个城市进行5G试验，并通过交通部分配的试验频谱验证技术和用例。Airtel已与爱立信和诺基亚合作进行这些试验。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel<\/a> Tuesday said it has conducted India\u2019s first rural 5G<\/a> trial with Swedish telecoms equipment maker Ericsson<\/a>. The demonstration took place in Bhaipur Bramanan village on the outskirts of Delhi\/NCR using 5G trial spectrum allocated by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
\u201cThe trial showcases the massive potential offered by 5G towards bridging the digital divide by enabling access to high speed broadband through solutions such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services,\u201d the companies said in a joint statement.
<\/div><\/div>The trial demonstrated over 200Mbps throughput on 3GPP-compliant 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) device located more than 10km from the site.
The trial also showcased that a commercially available 3GPP-based 5G smartphone could connect to the test network and record over 100Mbps speeds at a distance of more than 10km from the site.
The 5G site was powered by Ericsson\u2019s 3GPP-compliant 5G radio. The trial was carried out by utilizing the allocated mid-band trial spectrum in 3500MHz band and existing FDD spectrum band.
\u201cHaving demonstrated India\u2019s first 5G network and also the first 5G cloud gaming experience, Airtel<\/a> is proud to have also conducted the nation\u2019s first 5G trial in a rural geography. 5G will be a transformational technology when it comes to delivering broadband coverage to the last mile through use cases like FWA and contribute to a more inclusive digital economy,\u201d said Randeep Singh Sekhon, Airtel CTO.
