Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched 5G phone services in India at India Mobile Congress 2022 at Pragati Maidan in Delhi. This will usher in the era of ultra high speed internet for the nation. It was launched for a few cities on Saturday, but will gradually cover the rest of the country over the next few years. 5G technology will ensure seamless coverage, high data speed, low latency and highly reliable communication. It will increase energy efficiency, spectrum efficiency and network efficiency.
The cumulative economic impact of 5G on India is estimated to reach $450 billion by 2035.
The fifth generation or 5G services are expected to bring new economic opportunities as well as social benefits to the nation. Three major telecom companies – Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea – have submitted their bids along with the Adani Group in the 5G spectrum auction.
5G runs on two distinct architectures and Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have each chosen the one that suits them. You can now expect faster internet speeds and lower latency on your 5G phone.
Almost five years after India embarked on a journey to launch the next generation of mobile phones, 5G services have arrived in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (October 1) launched 5G services in select cities, ushering in an era of ultra-high-speed internet on mobile phones and devices.
