A steering committee chaired by Prof. A J Paulraj of Stanford University created seven task Forces including ones around Spectrum Policy, Regulatory Policy, Application, and Use Case Labs among others. The High-Level Forum report recommended establishing application and use case labs in India and developing locally tailored solutions. Ms. Aruna Sundararajan, former telecom secretary invited Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia, CISCO, NEC, Qualcomm, and Intel to conduct major trials in India. The task force set up to devise a framework for 5G related Applications and Use Case Labs (UCL) recommended that UCLs be set up in each economic vertical with Agriculture, Health, Banking, and Railways UCLs to start in the first phase.<\/p>","seolocation":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/report-submitted-in-2018-pushing-for-use-cases-and-field-trials","seolocationalt":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/report-submitted-in-2018-pushing-for-use-cases-and-field-trials","mediaType":"1"},"_72370294":{"msid":"72370294","secsname":"Efforts towards developing India specific use cases","ssname":"Efforts towards developing India specific use cases","artdate":1575467217,"artag":"","overridelink":"","windowtype":"","caption":"
The government launched a three -year program namely \u2018Building an End-to-End 5G Test Bed\u2019 to advance innovation and research into 5G which began in March 2018, with a budget authorization of Rs 224 crore. The high-level panel had suggested to the government that given a six-month active trial period, spectrum license for the purpose should be provided for 12 months. However, the wireless planning wing of DoT in February 2019 had said that the free spectrum for 5G trials can be allocated only for 90 days, citing current rules.

There has been uncertainty over Huawei and ZTE's participation in India's 5G field trials and commercial networks going forward. Indian telecom operators had earlier this year sought clarity over the participation of Huawei in 5G field trials and permitting its equipment in their 5G networks. The Indian government has already conveyed that it will not compromise on the security of its telecom networks and accords high priority to data sovereignty.<\/p>
The US has been pressuring India to ban Huawei from the 5G development and deployment, citing concerns around cyberspying owing to the company\u2019s alleged proximity to the Chinese government.

The telecom industry has been in conflict with India\u2019s standards body- TSDSI over the development of local 5G standards that are still in the formulation stage. Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI) has been pushing for a local modification called Large Cell Low Mobility (LMLC) as it asserts that the enhancement would enable rural coverage through base stations with wider coverage of areas up to a 3-4 kms radius and improve the battery life of mobile phones. While COAI representing the operators has argued that the proposed modifications don\u2019t add much value to the already approved local specifications of the global 5G standards and would delay the rollout. It has also alleged that the current specifications demanded by the body will lead to interoperability challenges such as international roaming, product testing, and economies of scale. The standards body however in its response has said that the said changes are not going to delay 5G\u2019s rollout as they are essentially some software tweaks.

TRAI has set Rs 492 crore a unit as the base rate for 5G airwaves in the 3.3-3.6 GHz bands and mandated that telcos buy in a block of 20 units. Thus, requiring operators to pay at least Rs 9,840 crore to buy 5G spectrum on a pan-India basis which translates to the spending of about a whopping Rs 50,000 crore for 100 units for effective roll-out. The regulator and the industry have been in a stalemate over the price issue. As a GSMA report noted, the October 2016 spectrum auction in the country featured a much greater quantity of spectrum and included seven bands. However, only 41% of the available spectrum was sold. The government saw no takers for the 700 MHz spectrum which was put on sale for the first time, mainly due to the high reserve price. The recommended pan-India reserve price for 700 MHz now is Rs 6,538 crore per MHz as opposed to Rs 11,500 crore last time.<\/p>","seolocation":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/old-standing-dispute-of-spectrum-reserve-price","seolocationalt":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/old-standing-dispute-of-spectrum-reserve-price","mediaType":"1"},"_72370216":{"msid":"72370216","secsname":"Telcos expressed their concerns at COAI's IMC\u201919","ssname":"Telcos expressed their concerns at COAI's IMC\u201919","artdate":1575467217,"artag":"","overridelink":"","windowtype":"","caption":"
Telecom operators in October this year urged the government to look into spectrum pricing which according to them is exorbitant. Rakesh Bharti Mittal, the vice-chairman of Bharti Enterprises, said that the reserve price of 5G airwaves suggested by the regulator is seven times higher than global peers. Jio director Mahendra Nahata Mittal also asked the government to relook at 5G spectrum prices, warning that higher floor rates would lead to 5G networks becoming unviable and getting delayed. Additionally, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea had earlier expressed apprehensions about the auction this year. Airtel, for instance, had hinted that it may not participate in the auctions at the current \u201cexorbitant\u201d prices. Vodafone Idea had requested that the 5G spectrum should not be put on sale before 2020 as there is a need to first develop India-specific use cases.<\/p>","seolocation":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/telcos-expressed-their-concerns-at-coais-imc19","seolocationalt":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/telcos-expressed-their-concerns-at-coais-imc19","mediaType":"1"},"_72370207":{"msid":"72370207","secsname":"Industry group COAI's recent comments","ssname":"Industry group COAI's recent comments","artdate":1575467217,"artag":"","overridelink":"","windowtype":"","caption":"
COAI, the body that represents telecom players and vendors recently said that Indian operators are likely to push back 5G network deployments by at least five years due to exorbitant base prices, insufficient spectrum, and unavailability of newer bands. COAI\u2019s Director Rajan Mathews said that not only is the price tag of the spectrum is expensive for the industry, but even the quantum of airwaves was also insufficient since the industry was seeking 100MHz per operator. Against the 300 MHz that was originally intended to be made available, space and defence departments have been seeking to stake a claim on cumulative 125 MHz possibly leaving only 175 MHz for all 5G aspirants. Additionally, the body had earlier pointed out that 5G is overpriced by at least 30% to 40% compared to international standards and auction in other markets such as South Korea and the U.S.<\/p>","seolocation":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/industry-group-coais-recent-comments","seolocationalt":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/industry-group-coais-recent-comments","mediaType":"1"},"_72370180":{"msid":"72370180","secsname":"ITU upholds telcos\u2019 demand paving way for 26 GHz band","ssname":"ITU upholds telcos\u2019 demand paving way for 26 GHz band","artdate":1575467217,"artag":"","overridelink":"","windowtype":"","caption":"
Another point of dispute between the industry and DoT had been ISRO\u2019s demand to cut down transmission power to 5G base stations from 60 dbm to 37 dbm on the 26 GHz band as it requires a small slug of the band for satellite services without any interference from the 5G mobile networks. Operators in recent months had protested this proposal on the ground that it would increase deployment costs 16x and make 5G services completely unviable. However, the International Telecom Union (ITU) dismissed the proposal and upheld the view of the telecom industry at the World Radio Communications 2019 conference in Egypt. The move came to be seen as a victory as it paved the way for operators to commercially use 26GHz band for the ultra-fast wireless broadband service. COAI had also backed the industry\u2019s stance as India has a whopping 3250 Mhz of airwaves in this premium band, as opposed to merely 175 units in the 3.5 GHz band that the government plans to auction.<\/p>","seolocation":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/itu-upholds-telcos-demand-paving-way-for-26-ghz-band","seolocationalt":"indias-5g-journey-where-does-the-telecom-industry-stand\/itu-upholds-telcos-demand-paving-way-for-26-ghz-band","mediaType":"1"}}" data-slide-image-dir="https://etimg.etb2bimg.com/photo/" data-slide-paginate-news="null" data-has-slideshow="Y" data-device-type="desktop" data-display-full-width="" data-rel-section-id="49830939" data-category-name="TelecomNews" data-news="{"msid":"80876101","article_status":"ACTIVE","article_code":0,"hover_link":"","title":"Fiber broadband subscriber base to reach 10 million in India by 2025: Nokia","titleseo":"fiber-broadband-subscriber-base-to-reach-10-million-in-india-by-2025-nokia","seolocation":"telecomnews\/fiber-broadband-subscriber-base-to-reach-10-million-in-india-by-2025-nokia","seolocationalt":"telecomnews\/fiber-broadband-subscriber-base-to-reach-10-million-in-india-by-2025-nokia","seometatitle":"Fiber broadband subscriber base to reach 10 million in India by 2025: Nokia","trueseo":"","artag":"ETTelecom","artagid":"88675626","artau":"","artauid":"","authors":[],"striptease":"Fiber broadband subscriber base to reach 10 million in India by 2025: Nokia","stripteaseseo":"fiber-broadband-subscriber-base-to-reach-10-million-in-india-by-2025-nokia","artdate":"2021-02-12 12:30:00","lastupd":"2021-02-12 13:51:00","artsyn":"Nokia's chief marketing officer Amit Marwah said that the growth will be driven by larger telecom operators' expansion plan in the country.
