2020年对印度电信来说是重要的一年行业国际电信联盟(ITU)批准了该国的本土标准5胃肠道第一次。
即便如此，在印度电信公司和政府之间似乎有一场关于采用这些标准的拉锯战。一方面，如果采用5Gi标准，服务提供商会担心互操作性和网络部署成本的增加。另一方面，技术开发人员表示，部署只需要轻微的软件更改。
5Gi标准是在印度电信标准发展协会(TSDSI)的支持下，由印度理工学院(IITs)制定的。低移动性大小区(LMLC)的特性有助于增强基站的信号传输范围，这可以帮助服务提供商将覆盖范围扩大到当前覆盖距离的几倍。这一创新旨在使电信公司能够经济有效地扩大农村和偏远地区的5G覆盖。
城市和农村的电视密度有很大的差距。根据TRAI的数据，截至2021年3月底，城市电视密度(综合)为141.0%，而农村电视密度仅为60.2%。本土5Gi标准可能有助于电信公司在农村和难以到达的地区提供高速和低延迟的5G覆盖。
尽管印度是全球第二大电信市场，但多年来，印度并未对通信标准的发展做出任何重大贡献。因为标准定义了技术在世界范围内的工作方式及其互操作性，任何国家为标准的制定做出贡献都是技术实力的标志。

下一个挑战
然而，获得国际电联的批准只是第一步。3GPP的批准对于这些标准的广泛采用至关重要。3GPP是一个为移动通信开发协议的标准组织，已经完成了第15版的工作，该版本定义了移动通信的基础标准5 g网络部署。
“最近完成的第16版通过5G网络和相关标准化实现了用例的演进。3GPP满足了所有场景的部署要求，从德里和孟买这样的密集城市到印度农村的广大地区，”诺基亚发言人解释说。
目前尚不清楚5Gi是否会被包括在现在可能于2022年发布的第17版中。
制定标准只是第一个关键方面，更重要的是让服务提供商采用这些标准。正是在这一点上，印度的标准面临着来自电信公司的巨大阻力。
最近,印度电信监管局(TRAI)已经指导了印度移动电话运营商协会(COAI)，以评估电信公司对印度标准的接受程度。印度电信公司，包括Bharti Airtel和沃达丰的想法不过，如果他们采用本土标准，就会引发互操作性和成本增加的担忧。Jio是唯一一家对采用5Gi持开放态度的私营电信公司。
Bharti Airtel拒绝回应有关标准的问卷调查，称他们对此的评论属于公共领域，他们没有任何新的补充。沃达丰Idea、Jio和COAI直到撰写本文时才做出回应。
在供应商中，开发符合5Gi的解决方案似乎也存在阻力。诺基亚发言人表示:“印度不能成为5G旅程中的孤岛，这可能会限制5G的采用，增加最终用户的拥有成本。”
很容易理解为什么供应商在某种程度上不愿意按照5Gi标准开发解决方案。除非有更广泛的可接受性，否则就不能证明开发产品的研发努力是合理的。
“最好与全球标准保持一致，因为电信公司将能够通过部署与全球标准一致的原始设备制造商的设备来降低网络部署成本，从而获得规模效益。此外，印度的运营商和供应商已经表现出了开发本土5G解决方案的意图，一旦在印度大规模得到验证，就会将其带到印度以外的地区，”易思梅森的负责人Ashwinder Sethi解释道。
“只有运营商/供应商能够开拓全球市场，开发此类解决方案的研发成本才能得到恢复。考虑到电信和设备供应商的角度，印度真的没有必要制定本土标准，”Sethi补充道。
在这种情况下，电信公司不太可能注意到电信部(DoT)建议使用5Gi技术进行5G试验。除非印度电信公司和设备制造商承诺使用这些标准，否则印度所获得的收益将只是一个注脚。
即便如此，开发人员表示，5Gi部署只需要在软件上进行微小的调整，就可以使用本土标准，而电信公司则声称，这将导致互操作性问题，并将导致网络部署费用的增加。
“5Gi和5G都是国际电联批准的全球标准，完全可互操作。我们已经展示了5G和5Gi RAN以及5G和5Gi手机可以部署在同一个网络中，并无缝地相互操作。由于在5G设备中实现5Gi功能的额外成本可以忽略不计，因此部署成本根本不会发生变化，”印度理工学院马德拉斯分校主任兼TSDSI主席Bhaskar Ramamurthi教授说。
前面的路呢?
即使前面的道路看起来坎坷不平，但不可否认的是，5Gi是印度在制定通信标准方面迈出的关键第一步。
“随着5G的发展，5Gi将不断更新并与5G互操作。还将在需要的地方添加进一步的增强。目前，我们还没有看到供应商广泛宣布5Gi产品，尽管支持5Gi的增强只需要在RAN中进行适度的软件更改和在手机中进行简单的调整。我们预计未来几个月将宣布这类消息，因为印度已表示迫切希望部署5Gi，特别是用于加强农村覆盖。”
“印度遵循一项既定的政策，将电信公司的技术选择作为其许可制度的一部分，这将继续下去。然而，政府将鼓励5Gi，就像它在试验中所做的那样，并为5Gi的部署提供激励措施，特别是在农村地区，”Ramamurthi教授说。
回顾过去，印度想要打破美国和欧洲在制定全球通信标准方面的主导地位，从来都不是一件容易的事。然而，这只是第一步，它肯定会成为印度在制定未来标准方面做出更大贡献的推动力。

(Gagandeep Kaur，新德里独立电信记者)
![\"In-depth:](\"https:\/\/st.etb2bimg.com\/Themes\/Release\/images\/responsive\/ettelecom-default.jpg\")
<\/figure>By Gagandeep Kaur<\/strong>The year 2020 was a momentous one for the Indian telecom industry<\/a>, with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) approving the country's homegrown standards, called 5Gi<\/a> for the first time.
Even so, there seems to be a tug of war between the Indian telcos and the government regarding the adoption of these standards. On the one hand, the service providers have raised concerns regarding interoperability and increase in network deployment cost if they go for 5Gi standards. On the other hand, the technology developers say that deployment requires only minor software changes.
<\/div><\/div>The story so far
<\/strong>
5Gi standards were developed by the Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) under the aegis of Telecommunications Standards Development Society of India (TSDSI). Its feature, Low Mobility Large Cell (LMLC), helps enhance the signal transmission range of a base station which can help the service providers expand coverage several times over when compared with the current distance covered. This innovation is designed to enable the telcos to cost-effectively expand 5G coverage in rural and remote areas.
There is a massive gap between the urban and rural teledensity. While urban teledensity (combined) is 141.0%, the rural teledensity is just 60.2% at the end of March 2021, as per TRAI figures. The indigenous 5Gi standard can potentially help the telcos provide high-speed and low-latency 5G coverage in the rural and difficult to reach areas.
In spite of being the second-largest telecom market, India has not made any significant contribution to the development of communication standards over the years. Because standards define how technologies work and their interoperability around the world, it is a sign of technology prowess for any country to contribute to the development of standards.

<\/div><\/div>Technical standards are created through collaboration between industry bodies, experts and companies. This ensures that the standards are uniform, which improves the efficiency of network rollouts and ensures that they work no matter where you are in the world. While US and European countries are dominant in setting the standards, China has also been playing a crucial role in the last few years in influencing the new technology standards.

The next challenge
<\/strong>
However, getting approval from ITU is just the first step. 3GPP approval is crucial to the widespread adoption of these standards. 3GPP is a standards body that develops protocols for mobile telecommunications, has already completed work on Release 15, which defines base standards for 5G network<\/a> deployment.
\"The recent completion of Release 16 enables the evolution of use cases through 5G networks and associated standardization. 3GPP fulfils and meets the deployment requirements of all scenarios, from dense urban places like Delhi and Mumbai to vast parts of rural India,\" explains Nokia spokesperson.
It is not yet clear if 5Gi will be included in Release 17 which is now likely to come out in 2022.
Developing standards is just the first crucial aspect, more important is to get the service providers to adopt these standards. It is here that the Indian standards are facing massive pushback from the telcos.
Recently, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (TRAI) has directed the Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI) to assess the acceptability of the Indian standards by the telcos. The Indian telcos, including Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a>, though have raised concerns around the interoperability and increase in cost if they adopt the homegrown standards. Jio is the only private telco that is open to the idea of adopting 5Gi.
Bharti Airtel refused to respond to the questionnaire about the standards, saying that their comments on this are in the public domain and they don't have anything new to add. Vodafone Idea, Jio and COAI didn\u2019t respond till the time of writing this article.
There seems to be resistance to developing solution in line with 5Gi among the vendors as well. \"India cannot afford to become an island in the 5G journey, which can limit the adoption of 5G and increase the end-user cost of ownership,\" says Nokia spokesperson.
It is easy to see why vendors are somewhat reluctant to develop solutions as per 5Gi standards. Unless wider acceptability is assured, it doesn't justify the R&D effort to develop the products.
\"It is best to align with the global standards because the telcos will be able to bring down their network rollout cost by deploying equipment from OEMs which are harmonised to global standards and thus have scale benefits. Also, operators and vendors in India have shown an intent to develop indigenous solutions for 5G and take them outside of India, once proven at scale in India,\u201d explains Ashwinder Sethi, Principal at Analysys Mason.
\u201cThe R&D cost of developing such solutions can only be recuperated if the operators\/vendors can tap the global markets. Considering both the telco and equipment vendor perspective, there is really no need for India to come up with indigenous standards,\" adds Sethi.
In this context, it is unlikely the telcos will pay heed to the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) recommendation to use 5Gi technology to conduct 5G trials. Unless and until the Indian telcos and gear makers commit to using these standards, the gain made by India would just remain a footnote.
Even so, the developers say that 5Gi deployment requires only minor tweaks in software to use the homegrown standards, while the telcos allege that it would lead to interoperability issues and will lead to an increase in network deployment expense.
\"Both 5Gi and 5G are global standards approved by ITU and are completely interoperable. We have already shown that 5G and 5Gi RAN and 5G and 5Gi handsets can be deployed in the same network and inter-operated seamlessly. Since the additional cost of implementing 5Gi features in 5G equipment is negligible, the cost of deployment will not change at all,\" says Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director of IIT-Madras and Chairman of TSDSI.
The road ahead?
<\/strong>
Even if the road ahead looks bumpy, there is no denying that 5Gi is the first crucial step taken by India to develop communications standards.
\"5Gi will be kept updated and interoperable with 5G as it evolves. Further enhancements will also be added where required. At present, we have not yet seen widespread announcements of 5Gi products by vendors even though supporting the enhancements in 5Gi require only modest software changes in the RAN and simple tweaks in the phone. We expect such announcements to be made in the coming months since India has expressed keenness to deploy 5Gi particularly for enhanced rural coverage,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
\"India follows an established policy with regard to technology choice by the telcos as part of its licensing regime and this will continue. However, the government will encourage 5Gi as it has done for the trials and provide incentives for the deployment of 5Gi, particularly in rural areas,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
In retrospect, it was never going to be easy for India to break into the dominance of the US and Europe in setting global communications standards. However, this is just the first step and it is sure to act as a tailwind for India\u2019s greater contribution in developing future standards.

The next challenge
<\/strong>
However, getting approval from ITU is just the first step. 3GPP approval is crucial to the widespread adoption of these standards. 3GPP is a standards body that develops protocols for mobile telecommunications, has already completed work on Release 15, which defines base standards for 5G network<\/a> deployment.
\"The recent completion of Release 16 enables the evolution of use cases through 5G networks and associated standardization. 3GPP fulfils and meets the deployment requirements of all scenarios, from dense urban places like Delhi and Mumbai to vast parts of rural India,\" explains Nokia spokesperson.
It is not yet clear if 5Gi will be included in Release 17 which is now likely to come out in 2022.
Developing standards is just the first crucial aspect, more important is to get the service providers to adopt these standards. It is here that the Indian standards are facing massive pushback from the telcos.
Recently, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (TRAI) has directed the Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI) to assess the acceptability of the Indian standards by the telcos. The Indian telcos, including Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a>, though have raised concerns around the interoperability and increase in cost if they adopt the homegrown standards. Jio is the only private telco that is open to the idea of adopting 5Gi.
Bharti Airtel refused to respond to the questionnaire about the standards, saying that their comments on this are in the public domain and they don't have anything new to add. Vodafone Idea, Jio and COAI didn\u2019t respond till the time of writing this article.
There seems to be resistance to developing solution in line with 5Gi among the vendors as well. \"India cannot afford to become an island in the 5G journey, which can limit the adoption of 5G and increase the end-user cost of ownership,\" says Nokia spokesperson.
It is easy to see why vendors are somewhat reluctant to develop solutions as per 5Gi standards. Unless wider acceptability is assured, it doesn't justify the R&D effort to develop the products.
\"It is best to align with the global standards because the telcos will be able to bring down their network rollout cost by deploying equipment from OEMs which are harmonised to global standards and thus have scale benefits. Also, operators and vendors in India have shown an intent to develop indigenous solutions for 5G and take them outside of India, once proven at scale in India,\u201d explains Ashwinder Sethi, Principal at Analysys Mason.
\u201cThe R&D cost of developing such solutions can only be recuperated if the operators\/vendors can tap the global markets. Considering both the telco and equipment vendor perspective, there is really no need for India to come up with indigenous standards,\" adds Sethi.
In this context, it is unlikely the telcos will pay heed to the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) recommendation to use 5Gi technology to conduct 5G trials. Unless and until the Indian telcos and gear makers commit to using these standards, the gain made by India would just remain a footnote.
Even so, the developers say that 5Gi deployment requires only minor tweaks in software to use the homegrown standards, while the telcos allege that it would lead to interoperability issues and will lead to an increase in network deployment expense.
\"Both 5Gi and 5G are global standards approved by ITU and are completely interoperable. We have already shown that 5G and 5Gi RAN and 5G and 5Gi handsets can be deployed in the same network and inter-operated seamlessly. Since the additional cost of implementing 5Gi features in 5G equipment is negligible, the cost of deployment will not change at all,\" says Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director of IIT-Madras and Chairman of TSDSI.
The road ahead?
<\/strong>
Even if the road ahead looks bumpy, there is no denying that 5Gi is the first crucial step taken by India to develop communications standards.
\"5Gi will be kept updated and interoperable with 5G as it evolves. Further enhancements will also be added where required. At present, we have not yet seen widespread announcements of 5Gi products by vendors even though supporting the enhancements in 5Gi require only modest software changes in the RAN and simple tweaks in the phone. We expect such announcements to be made in the coming months since India has expressed keenness to deploy 5Gi particularly for enhanced rural coverage,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
\"India follows an established policy with regard to technology choice by the telcos as part of its licensing regime and this will continue. However, the government will encourage 5Gi as it has done for the trials and provide incentives for the deployment of 5Gi, particularly in rural areas,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
In retrospect, it was never going to be easy for India to break into the dominance of the US and Europe in setting global communications standards. However, this is just the first step and it is sure to act as a tailwind for India\u2019s greater contribution in developing future standards.

The next challenge
<\/strong>
However, getting approval from ITU is just the first step. 3GPP approval is crucial to the widespread adoption of these standards. 3GPP is a standards body that develops protocols for mobile telecommunications, has already completed work on Release 15, which defines base standards for 5G network<\/a> deployment.
\"The recent completion of Release 16 enables the evolution of use cases through 5G networks and associated standardization. 3GPP fulfils and meets the deployment requirements of all scenarios, from dense urban places like Delhi and Mumbai to vast parts of rural India,\" explains Nokia spokesperson.
It is not yet clear if 5Gi will be included in Release 17 which is now likely to come out in 2022.
Developing standards is just the first crucial aspect, more important is to get the service providers to adopt these standards. It is here that the Indian standards are facing massive pushback from the telcos.
Recently, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (TRAI) has directed the Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI) to assess the acceptability of the Indian standards by the telcos. The Indian telcos, including Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a>, though have raised concerns around the interoperability and increase in cost if they adopt the homegrown standards. Jio is the only private telco that is open to the idea of adopting 5Gi.
Bharti Airtel refused to respond to the questionnaire about the standards, saying that their comments on this are in the public domain and they don't have anything new to add. Vodafone Idea, Jio and COAI didn\u2019t respond till the time of writing this article.
There seems to be resistance to developing solution in line with 5Gi among the vendors as well. \"India cannot afford to become an island in the 5G journey, which can limit the adoption of 5G and increase the end-user cost of ownership,\" says Nokia spokesperson.
It is easy to see why vendors are somewhat reluctant to develop solutions as per 5Gi standards. Unless wider acceptability is assured, it doesn't justify the R&D effort to develop the products.
\"It is best to align with the global standards because the telcos will be able to bring down their network rollout cost by deploying equipment from OEMs which are harmonised to global standards and thus have scale benefits. Also, operators and vendors in India have shown an intent to develop indigenous solutions for 5G and take them outside of India, once proven at scale in India,\u201d explains Ashwinder Sethi, Principal at Analysys Mason.
\u201cThe R&D cost of developing such solutions can only be recuperated if the operators\/vendors can tap the global markets. Considering both the telco and equipment vendor perspective, there is really no need for India to come up with indigenous standards,\" adds Sethi.
In this context, it is unlikely the telcos will pay heed to the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) recommendation to use 5Gi technology to conduct 5G trials. Unless and until the Indian telcos and gear makers commit to using these standards, the gain made by India would just remain a footnote.
Even so, the developers say that 5Gi deployment requires only minor tweaks in software to use the homegrown standards, while the telcos allege that it would lead to interoperability issues and will lead to an increase in network deployment expense.
\"Both 5Gi and 5G are global standards approved by ITU and are completely interoperable. We have already shown that 5G and 5Gi RAN and 5G and 5Gi handsets can be deployed in the same network and inter-operated seamlessly. Since the additional cost of implementing 5Gi features in 5G equipment is negligible, the cost of deployment will not change at all,\" says Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director of IIT-Madras and Chairman of TSDSI.
The road ahead?
<\/strong>
Even if the road ahead looks bumpy, there is no denying that 5Gi is the first crucial step taken by India to develop communications standards.
\"5Gi will be kept updated and interoperable with 5G as it evolves. Further enhancements will also be added where required. At present, we have not yet seen widespread announcements of 5Gi products by vendors even though supporting the enhancements in 5Gi require only modest software changes in the RAN and simple tweaks in the phone. We expect such announcements to be made in the coming months since India has expressed keenness to deploy 5Gi particularly for enhanced rural coverage,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
\"India follows an established policy with regard to technology choice by the telcos as part of its licensing regime and this will continue. However, the government will encourage 5Gi as it has done for the trials and provide incentives for the deployment of 5Gi, particularly in rural areas,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
In retrospect, it was never going to be easy for India to break into the dominance of the US and Europe in setting global communications standards. However, this is just the first step and it is sure to act as a tailwind for India\u2019s greater contribution in developing future standards.

The next challenge
<\/strong>
However, getting approval from ITU is just the first step. 3GPP approval is crucial to the widespread adoption of these standards. 3GPP is a standards body that develops protocols for mobile telecommunications, has already completed work on Release 15, which defines base standards for 5G network<\/a> deployment.
\"The recent completion of Release 16 enables the evolution of use cases through 5G networks and associated standardization. 3GPP fulfils and meets the deployment requirements of all scenarios, from dense urban places like Delhi and Mumbai to vast parts of rural India,\" explains Nokia spokesperson.
It is not yet clear if 5Gi will be included in Release 17 which is now likely to come out in 2022.
Developing standards is just the first crucial aspect, more important is to get the service providers to adopt these standards. It is here that the Indian standards are facing massive pushback from the telcos.
Recently, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (TRAI) has directed the Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI) to assess the acceptability of the Indian standards by the telcos. The Indian telcos, including Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a>, though have raised concerns around the interoperability and increase in cost if they adopt the homegrown standards. Jio is the only private telco that is open to the idea of adopting 5Gi.
Bharti Airtel refused to respond to the questionnaire about the standards, saying that their comments on this are in the public domain and they don't have anything new to add. Vodafone Idea, Jio and COAI didn\u2019t respond till the time of writing this article.
There seems to be resistance to developing solution in line with 5Gi among the vendors as well. \"India cannot afford to become an island in the 5G journey, which can limit the adoption of 5G and increase the end-user cost of ownership,\" says Nokia spokesperson.
It is easy to see why vendors are somewhat reluctant to develop solutions as per 5Gi standards. Unless wider acceptability is assured, it doesn't justify the R&D effort to develop the products.
\"It is best to align with the global standards because the telcos will be able to bring down their network rollout cost by deploying equipment from OEMs which are harmonised to global standards and thus have scale benefits. Also, operators and vendors in India have shown an intent to develop indigenous solutions for 5G and take them outside of India, once proven at scale in India,\u201d explains Ashwinder Sethi, Principal at Analysys Mason.
\u201cThe R&D cost of developing such solutions can only be recuperated if the operators\/vendors can tap the global markets. Considering both the telco and equipment vendor perspective, there is really no need for India to come up with indigenous standards,\" adds Sethi.
In this context, it is unlikely the telcos will pay heed to the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) recommendation to use 5Gi technology to conduct 5G trials. Unless and until the Indian telcos and gear makers commit to using these standards, the gain made by India would just remain a footnote.
Even so, the developers say that 5Gi deployment requires only minor tweaks in software to use the homegrown standards, while the telcos allege that it would lead to interoperability issues and will lead to an increase in network deployment expense.
\"Both 5Gi and 5G are global standards approved by ITU and are completely interoperable. We have already shown that 5G and 5Gi RAN and 5G and 5Gi handsets can be deployed in the same network and inter-operated seamlessly. Since the additional cost of implementing 5Gi features in 5G equipment is negligible, the cost of deployment will not change at all,\" says Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director of IIT-Madras and Chairman of TSDSI.
The road ahead?
<\/strong>
Even if the road ahead looks bumpy, there is no denying that 5Gi is the first crucial step taken by India to develop communications standards.
\"5Gi will be kept updated and interoperable with 5G as it evolves. Further enhancements will also be added where required. At present, we have not yet seen widespread announcements of 5Gi products by vendors even though supporting the enhancements in 5Gi require only modest software changes in the RAN and simple tweaks in the phone. We expect such announcements to be made in the coming months since India has expressed keenness to deploy 5Gi particularly for enhanced rural coverage,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
\"India follows an established policy with regard to technology choice by the telcos as part of its licensing regime and this will continue. However, the government will encourage 5Gi as it has done for the trials and provide incentives for the deployment of 5Gi, particularly in rural areas,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
In retrospect, it was never going to be easy for India to break into the dominance of the US and Europe in setting global communications standards. However, this is just the first step and it is sure to act as a tailwind for India\u2019s greater contribution in developing future standards.

<\/a><\/div>Jio begins 5G trials in Mumbai using indigenously developed equipment<\/h4><\/a><\/div><\/div>
The next challenge
<\/strong>
However, getting approval from ITU is just the first step. 3GPP approval is crucial to the widespread adoption of these standards. 3GPP is a standards body that develops protocols for mobile telecommunications, has already completed work on Release 15, which defines base standards for 5G network<\/a> deployment.
\"The recent completion of Release 16 enables the evolution of use cases through 5G networks and associated standardization. 3GPP fulfils and meets the deployment requirements of all scenarios, from dense urban places like Delhi and Mumbai to vast parts of rural India,\" explains Nokia spokesperson.
It is not yet clear if 5Gi will be included in Release 17 which is now likely to come out in 2022.
Developing standards is just the first crucial aspect, more important is to get the service providers to adopt these standards. It is here that the Indian standards are facing massive pushback from the telcos.
Recently, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (TRAI) has directed the Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI) to assess the acceptability of the Indian standards by the telcos. The Indian telcos, including Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea<\/a>, though have raised concerns around the interoperability and increase in cost if they adopt the homegrown standards. Jio is the only private telco that is open to the idea of adopting 5Gi.
Bharti Airtel refused to respond to the questionnaire about the standards, saying that their comments on this are in the public domain and they don't have anything new to add. Vodafone Idea, Jio and COAI didn\u2019t respond till the time of writing this article.
There seems to be resistance to developing solution in line with 5Gi among the vendors as well. \"India cannot afford to become an island in the 5G journey, which can limit the adoption of 5G and increase the end-user cost of ownership,\" says Nokia spokesperson.
It is easy to see why vendors are somewhat reluctant to develop solutions as per 5Gi standards. Unless wider acceptability is assured, it doesn't justify the R&D effort to develop the products.
\"It is best to align with the global standards because the telcos will be able to bring down their network rollout cost by deploying equipment from OEMs which are harmonised to global standards and thus have scale benefits. Also, operators and vendors in India have shown an intent to develop indigenous solutions for 5G and take them outside of India, once proven at scale in India,\u201d explains Ashwinder Sethi, Principal at Analysys Mason.
\u201cThe R&D cost of developing such solutions can only be recuperated if the operators\/vendors can tap the global markets. Considering both the telco and equipment vendor perspective, there is really no need for India to come up with indigenous standards,\" adds Sethi.
In this context, it is unlikely the telcos will pay heed to the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) recommendation to use 5Gi technology to conduct 5G trials. Unless and until the Indian telcos and gear makers commit to using these standards, the gain made by India would just remain a footnote.
Even so, the developers say that 5Gi deployment requires only minor tweaks in software to use the homegrown standards, while the telcos allege that it would lead to interoperability issues and will lead to an increase in network deployment expense.
\"Both 5Gi and 5G are global standards approved by ITU and are completely interoperable. We have already shown that 5G and 5Gi RAN and 5G and 5Gi handsets can be deployed in the same network and inter-operated seamlessly. Since the additional cost of implementing 5Gi features in 5G equipment is negligible, the cost of deployment will not change at all,\" says Prof Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director of IIT-Madras and Chairman of TSDSI.
The road ahead?
<\/strong>
Even if the road ahead looks bumpy, there is no denying that 5Gi is the first crucial step taken by India to develop communications standards.
\"5Gi will be kept updated and interoperable with 5G as it evolves. Further enhancements will also be added where required. At present, we have not yet seen widespread announcements of 5Gi products by vendors even though supporting the enhancements in 5Gi require only modest software changes in the RAN and simple tweaks in the phone. We expect such announcements to be made in the coming months since India has expressed keenness to deploy 5Gi particularly for enhanced rural coverage,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
\"India follows an established policy with regard to technology choice by the telcos as part of its licensing regime and this will continue. However, the government will encourage 5Gi as it has done for the trials and provide incentives for the deployment of 5Gi, particularly in rural areas,\" says Prof Ramamurthi.
In retrospect, it was never going to be easy for India to break into the dominance of the US and Europe in setting global communications standards. However, this is just the first step and it is sure to act as a tailwind for India\u2019s greater contribution in developing future standards.
