5G spectrum News

Vi 5G Services In India: The new services are expected to be accessible to both prepaid and postpaid users, utilizing the 3.3GHz and 26GHz (mmWave) spectrum for deployment.

The fifth generation cellular technology is around 20 times faster than its predecessor fourth generation (4G) technology. The theoretical peak speed of the 5G technology is 20 Gigabits per second (Gbps). The peak speed of 4G technology is 1 Gbps.

The bidding resumed on Sunday morning with the 31st round. The pitched battle in Uttar Pradesh East circle - where demand for 1800 MHz had peaked since Wednesday - seems to be cooling off now.

Juhi Chawla was present in the virtual hearing and volunteered to work with the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA).

The government could not put 3.3-3.6 Ghz frequency range for auction. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) declined to comment on the matter. Trai had recommended a base price fixed at Rs 492 crore per megahertz for spectrum in 3.3-3.6 Ghz.

The government is keen to ensure that auctions are technology-neutral. DoT's reference seeks views of Trai on base price, quantum and all other modalities for spectrum across multiple bands. The telecom regulatory structure should change in the coming 2-3 years, he said.

Justice Midha asked the Court Master to 'identify the person' who interrupted the hearing. On a lighter note, Chawla's lawyer said maybe the person is already affected by the radiations.

The Delhi HC questioned Juhi Chawla for directly filing suit against setting up of 5G wireless networks. The plea claimed that 5G wireless technology plans threaten to provoke serious effects.

The government has decided to give 5G Spectrum for the trial to all operators in the country, he said, adding "This may take few years to launch it fully all over the country."

Taking charge of his new ministry, Prasad said that amongst his priorities will be revival of state-owned MTNL and BSNL. The minister, however, asserted that the telecom corporations will have to respond with professionalism and cooperation.

Talking about low level of tariffs, Sharma said telecom services rates are under forbearance and it is telecom operators who fix tariffs.

The 5G committee of the telecom ministry has said about 6,000 Mhz of spectrum can be made available without delay for the next generation mobile service.

The committee, which was set up in September 2017, submitted its report on 5G connectivity in the country to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
