5G TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA
What is 5G :-
The 5G network will operate in the millimetre-wave spectrum (30-300
GHz) which can send large amounts of data at very high speeds as the frequency is
very high, and it experiences little interference from surrounding signals.
5G is the latest upgrade in the long-term evolution (LTE) mobile broadband
networks.
In the high-band spectrum of 5G, internet speeds have been tested to be as high
as 20 Gbps (gigabits per second).
5G mainly works in 3 bands:
1. Low band spectrum: It has good coverage and speed of internet and
data exchange however the maximum speed is limited to 100
Mbps (Megabits per second).
2. Mid-band spectrum: It offers higher speeds compared to the low
band, but has limitations in terms of coverage area and penetration of
signals.
3. High-band spectrum: It has the highest speed of all the three bands,
but has extremely limited coverage and signal penetration strength.
Importance of 5G Technology:
5G will bring with High speed and ultra-low latency will
revolutionize government effort in promoting digital India.
First, Minimum Government and Maximum Governance: Better speed and
connectivity will reduce the red–tapism and enhance speedy and better
implementation of projects and policies. This will various government missions
such as smart cities mission, etc.

Second, Ultra-Low latency in 5G services (time taken by a network to
respond) will help in improvement in the logistics and
shipping sector and also reduces the overall cost of goods and services.
Third, Employment generation: 5G technology will open a new horizon
of opportunity for new device manufacturers and application
developers. Thus, more job opportunities will be created and it will help
in the inclusive growth of the nation.
Fourth, Enhanced network coverage: This will enhance network performance
and support during limited access or absence of mobile networks. The small cell
concept used in 5G will have multiple advantages of maximum data transfer, better
cell coverage, cloud access network and low power consumption etc. This will
help in reducing the digital divide in India.
Fifth, 5G will provide enhanced Security: 5G will enhance security
surveillance, better coordination among various agencies. The closed-
circuit cameras will provide high–quality real-time video for security purposes.
Sixth, 5G will revolutionize Industrial Growth: The future of industries
will greatly depend on smart technologies like 5G for efficient automation,
safety, maintenance, tracking, smart packing, and energy management.
Seventh, 5G will improve Agricultural applications: 5g can be used for smart
farming in the future. Such as combining smart RFID sensors and GPS
technologies, farmers can track the location of livestock and manage them easily.
Smart sensors can be used for irrigation control, access control and energy
management.
Eighth, 5G will improve healthcare and mission–critical applications: Scientists
are working on smart medical devices such as remote surgical machines, Smart
medical devices, etc.
Challenges for rolling out 5G:
• Critical infrastructures: 5G will require a fundamental change to
the core architecture of the communication system. Since the major
flaw of data transfer using 5G is that it can’t carry data over longer

distances, the 5G technology needs to be augmented to existing
infrastructure.
• Financial liability: For the transition from 4G to 5G technology, one
has to upgrade to the latest cellular technology, thereby creating
financial liability on consumers.
• Capital inadequacy: Lack of adequate capital with suitable telecom
companies (like Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea) is delaying the 5G
spectrum allocation.
• Late adoption: Countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including India,
Bangladesh, and Indonesia are late in adopting 5G technology, hence,
may get decreased revenue from the service.
• Government subsidies: The likelihood of government subsidies is
low, because of the history of high reserve prices set by the
governments for spectrum auctions amid ongoing fiscal deficits.
• Digital divide: 5G will not bridge the digital divide between rural and
urban in the short term, rather this may increase it.
• Niche service: 5G will be a niche service unlike 3G and 4G which
were distributive services. It will get intensified over a comparatively
longer period and concentrated to particular sectors.
• Previous technology: Consumers are still struggling with basic
network issues like call drops and interrupted data services. 4G
networks still cause frequent disruptions in internet services.
• Interference: There are concerns that the rollout of 5G mobile service
could potentially interfere with aircraft navigation systems. Air India
cancelled eight flights on US routes in January 2022.
Is India ready for the 5G leap:-
DoT confirmed that 13 cities in India would get 5G services in 2022. These include
Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Gurugram, Chandigarh, Bangalore,
Ahmadabad, Jamnagar, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow and Gandhinagar.
Advantages of 5G for India:-

5G TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA
The new generation mobile network has the transformative potential to provide a
wide range of benefits to the Indian economy, which when combined with artificial
intelligence provides a new face to a connected and autonomous system.
5G networks could improve the accessibility of services such as mobile
banking and healthcare, and enable exponential growth in opportunities for
unemployed or underemployed people to engage in fulfilling and productive work.
The Indian policy-makers can educate and empower citizens and businesses,
and transform existing cities into smart and innovative cities.
Socio-economic Benefits: This may allow citizens and communities to get socio-
economic benefits and comforts delivered by a well-advanced, more data-
intensive, digital economy.
• Broadly speaking, the uses of 5G in India may encompass enhanced
outdoor and indoor broadband, the Internet of things (IoT), smart
cities and smart agriculture, energy monitoring, remote monitoring,
smart grids, telehealth, industrial automation, remote patient
monitoring, and industrial automation to name some of the areas.
• 5G technology can be used for agriculture and smart farming in the
future. Using smart RFID sensors and GPS technology, farmers can
track the location of livestock and manage them easily. Smart
sensors can be used for irrigation control, access control, and energy
management.
• It will support medical practitioners to perform advanced medical
procedures with a reliable wireless network connected to another side
of the globe. Doctors can connect with patients from anywhere anytime
and advise them when necessary. Scientists are working on smart
medical devices which can perform remote surgery. Smart medical
devices like wearables will continuously monitor a patient’s condition
and activate alerts during an emergency.
