Reliance Jio
Using Carrier Aggregation, Jio is bringing together all five of the key 5G frequencies in one robust “data highway”. The benefits include low latency, faster data rates, and high-quality video services. Jio is working with handset manufacturers to enable 5G.
According to Jio, the company has acquired nearly half of the available airwaves. It spent over Rs 80,000 crore in the 5G spectrum auction. It has acquired a mix of frequencies, including 3300 MHz (n78), 26 GHz (n258), and 700 MHz (n28). Jio’s plan is to roll out 5G in metropolitan cities first. It will then expand its network to tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Jio plans to roll out 5G in all Indian towns by December 2023.
Jio claims that the new 5G network will be able to provide “unlimited” data at 1Gbps+ speeds. The company also said that users in Bengaluru and Hyderabad will be able to enjoy Unlimited Data at up to 1Gbps+ speeds.
Bharti Airtel
Several top telcos and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have committed to the speedy rollout of 5G services in India. These include Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea Ltd, Reliance Jio, and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. They also plan to invest multi-billion dollars in building 5G networks in India over the next few years.
The 5G ecosystem will cater to various use cases including IoT, AI, edge computing, robotics, and healthcare. It also promises lag-free connectivity and enables billions of connected devices to share data in real time. The technology will enable lifesaving use cases such as emergency response and healthcare. It can also help in the real-time monitoring of disasters and precision agriculture.
The rollout of 5G services is expected to take place in phases. In the first phase, 13 cities will get services. This will be followed by more cities. In the next phase, 20-25 cities will get the services.
The telecom industry has also warned against fake towers. Prime Minister Modi has visited stalls set up by various telcos at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) exhibition.

During his Independence Day address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that 5G services would be launched in India soon. According to him, these services would accelerate healthcare, education, entertainment, and telco services. He also said that these services would be affordable for the people.
In an interview with reporters, telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that four operators have been competing in the market, and the government is trying to ensure that all of them are ready to launch 5G services by October. He said that a good amount of spectrum was sold in the auctions and that it was enough to cover all circles in India.
The Department of Telecom issued spectrum assignment letters to telcos on the same day that it received upfront payments. After 40 rounds of bidding, bids totaling over Rs 1.5 lakh crore were received.
After receiving these bids, telecom operators were allocated the spectrum in the E and E bands. The first phase of 5G internet services will start in 13 cities, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Kolkata. In the next six months, the telecom department hopes to cover more than 600 cities.
