Ten times faster download speeds than 4G are anticipated from 5G technology, as well as up to a three-fold increase in spectrum efficiency.
At the introduction of 5G services in India, PM Modi remarked that it "won't take long for it to reach everyone now that it has launched."
This technology shouldn't be restricted to just voice calls or watching films, as he noted in his address. This should be used to spark a revolution, enabling India to work on technologies that would position it as a global leader in the near future.
An Indian today uses 14 GB of data on average per month. This cost 4,200 a month in 2014; today, it costs between 125 and 150. This indicates that those with low and intermediate incomes are managing to save almost $4,000 a month, which is no minor effort.
There was a time when some members of the privileged class and our politicians mocked the poor and believed they were incapable of understanding internet services. They believed that individuals in poverty wouldn't even comprehend what the word "digital" meant.
The Prime Minister declared, "Today, Digital India has provided everyone with a forum, whether it be small businessmen or local artisans."
The Ministry of Communications claims that years of careful planning have culminated in the launch of 5G services. Successful 5G spectrum auctions were recently held, and telecom service providers received 51,236 MHz with a gross amount of 1,50,173 crore.
The auction brought together the desire for a strong 5G ecosystem that can support its IoT, M2M, AI, edge computing, robotics, etc. use cases.
High data rates, low latency, and very dependable connectivity will all be made possible by 5G. Additionally, it will improve the network, spectrum, and energy efficiency.
It will facilitate the connection of billions of Internet of Things devices, enable high-speed, higher-quality video services, and provide essential services like telesurgery and driverless vehicles, among others.
Precision farming, real-time disaster monitoring, and a reduction in the involvement of people in risky industrial processes like deep mining and offshore work, among other things, would all benefit from the introduction of 5G technology in India. The needs for each of these various use cases within the same network can be customized, unlike current mobile communication networks.
Along with the inauguration of 5G, PM Modi also opened the sixth iteration of the India Mobile Congress 2022 (IMC-2022), which took place from the first to the fourth of October at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.
The Prime Minister visited pavilions set up by several telecom carriers and technology providers after officially opening the expo at Pragati Maidan to get a firsthand look at what 5G is capable of.
