What is 5G?

5G or fifth generation is the latest upgrade in the long term evolution (LTE) mobile broadband networks.
The first generation of networks allowed only mobile voice calls to be made.
The second generation allowed mobile voice calls as well as sending of short text messages.
It was the third generation or 3G network which allowed web browsing on mobile devices.
The speed and latency of which improved with fourth generation or 4G
The 5G networks will have even faster speeds with latency down to between 1-10 milliseconds.

How does 5G work?

The low-band spectrum has been proven to have great coverage but the maximum speed limit on this band is 100 Mbps.
In the mid-band spectrum, though the speeds are higher, telcos across the world have registered limitations when it comes to coverage area and penetration of telephone signals into buildings.
The high-band spectrum offers the highest speed but has extremely limited network coverage area and penetration capabilities.
The telcos using this band rely on the existing LTE networks and will need to install a number of smaller towers to ensure adequate coverage and high-speed performance.
Announced that the company’s telecom venture Jio has designed and developed from scratch, a complete indigenous 5G solution ready for deployment.
It will enable Jio to export 5G solutions to other telecom players globally.

Where does India stand on 5G?

Both telecom service providers and their equipment vendors, have completed lab trials of 5G network components,
But are yet to commence field trials, which were initially scheduled to happen last year.
The service providers have already tied up with equipment makers like Nokia, Ericsson, etc for deploying their 5G networks.
Also telecom companies are awaiting allocation of test spectrum from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).

Jio’s 5G solution

Jio is said to have a complete end-to-end 5G solution prepared by the company itself that is ready for deployment once the networks are in place.
This solution can also be deployed by other telecom operators as a complete managed service.

When Reliance announced investment by American chipmaker Qualcomm into Jio, it had said that the investment will deepen the ties between
Qualcomm and Jio Platforms, “to support Jio Platforms on its journey to rollout advanced 5G infrastructure and services for Indian customers”.
Additionally, with Google’s partnership, Jio plans to develop affordable smartphones using an optimised Android-based operating system.
