The dazzling arrival of Reliance Jio in September last year had put leading telcos on alert mode. Jio is credited to bring the latest technologies which ideally should be brought up by existing telecom operators who seemed more concerned on increasing prices of data and calls than liberating consumers with the help of latest technologies, which Jio ultimately did.
Now Jio is gearing up for 5G to bring another revolution. Talking about 5G, Jio’s president Mathew Oommen said: “5G is a broad set of capabilities that could fundamentally transform the industry, business and individuals’ lives. The size of the band is also important and it is important to leverage a minimum of 100 Mhz in the 3.5GHz band as the starting point.”
Jio has all IP-based 5G-ready network, which it aims to leverage to meet growing bandwidth needs, and eventually move to 5G.
The government will launch ultra-high speed data services based on 5G technology, and has recently constituted a 22-member high-level 5G Forum to evaluate and prepare a roadmap and action plan to meet the 2020 timeline.
Oommen added that India has an opportunity to launch 5G services with 3.5GHz or 3500 MHz frequency band as a fundamental building block with allocation of adequate quantum of airwaves to each operator.
TRAI too in August 2017 had sought the industry's views on the valuation methodology of spectrum in the 3300-3400 MHz and 3400-3600 MHz bands, which are used for 5G services.
