Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch 5G services tomorrow at 10 AM in New Delhi. 5G technology will provide seamless coverage, high data rate, low latency, and highly reliable communications. It will also increase energy efficiency, spectrum efficiency, and network efficiency.
Communications and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vasihnaw has said that the Government is intended to cover the entire country with 5G services within two years. He said, an investment of around three lakh crore rupees will be made for the 5G service.
AIR correspondent reports that Digital connectivity has been an important part of policy initiatives of government through its flagship programmes such as Digital India, Start-up India, and Make in India. The upcoming 5G services have the potential to create new-age businesses, generate additional revenue for enterprises, and provide employment arising from the deployment of innovative use cases and technologies. Eighty crore subscribers have access to broadband today compared to ten crore subscribers in 2014. It is expected that 5G technology-based services are capable of providing speed and capacities of about 10 times higher than the current 4G services.
The launch of 5G services follows years of intense preparation. Recently, 5G spectrum auctions were conducted successfully and 51,236 MHz was allocated to Telecom Service Providers with gross revenue of over one lakh fifty thousand crore rupees. The cumulative economic impact of 5G on India is expected to reach 450 Billion US dollars by 2035.
Prime Minister will also inaugurate the sixth edition of the Indian Mobile Congress (IMC). The IMC 2022 is scheduled to be held from 1st to 4th of October with the theme of New digital Universe. It will bring together leading thinkers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and government officials to discuss and showcase unique opportunities emerging from the rapid adoption and spread of digital technology.
