Is India 5G Ready

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the stage at India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2022 to officially inaugurate 5G services in the country. The fifth-generation wireless (5G) is the latest iteration of cellular technology, designed to increase the speed of wireless networks. According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, November 2022, 5G subscriptions in the India region are expected to increase to reach around 690 million by the end of 2028. The 5G service has been rolled out in 50 cities and towns across India by Reliance Jio and Airtel.

The 5g service has been rolled out in 50 citis and towns across india by reliance jio and airtel. However, even if your region has been covered under the 5g roll out, you have to toil hard to experience itHowever, even if your region has been covered under the 5G roll out, you have to toil hard to experience it...Why? A report by CRISIL Research shows the telecom industry would require investment of INR 1.5-2.5 trillion in the next two-three years towards infrastructure development in order to facilitate the roll out of 5G services.

NOT ENOUGH INFRASTRUCTURE

One of the premium criteria for seamless experience of 5G is the level of fiberization. Until June 2022, the level of fiberization in India was at 35.11 per cent against the ideal requirement of 70 per cent for the launch of 5G services. "Apart from the telecom operators availing the 5G spectrum, a solid investment in fiber backhaul capabilities has become equally important," said Mahendra Nahata, managing director, HFCL.

Fiberization is of two types: Wireless and wired. In India the government has allocated the backhaul to telcos. The term backhaul refers to transmitting a signal from a remote site or network to another site, usually a central one. Backhaul usually implies a high-capacity line, meaning high-speed lines capable of transmitting high bandwidth at very fast speeds.
