Don't expect 5G to happen overnight. Telecom gear makers say will take six to eight months for the top 10 cities to have some reasonable coverage of 5G network services.
The amount of coverage will differ depending on the telecom company's strategy: whether to concentrate on a few cities and go for more coverage or whether to offer it to more cities with less coverage. At an average, coverage could vary from a fourth of a city to half.
Explaining the logic behind the timeline after discussions with telcos, a senior telecom gear major executive said the estimated target is to give reasonable coverage in the top 10 cities for which radios and equipment for 30,000 towers will be required for coverage. This can be done six to eight months.
