How 5G will change India?

Leading telecom service providers Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea , have established 5G trials sites in these cities. “These Metros and big cities would be the first places for launch of 5G services in the country, next year,” the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) said on Monday.

The manufacturing industry contributed to 16 per cent of India’s GDP in 2021. 5G will promote greater efficiencies in this sector by enabling next-gen, bandwidth-heavy technologies, such as automation, IoT and AI on the factory floor .

When 5G mobile networks come to India, they will use a new radio technology and a different network architecture to deliver higher bandwidth and lower latency than 4G (LTE) and 3G networks we have today. 5G promises peak data speeds of up to 10 Gbps —up to 100 times faster than the 100 Mbps of 4G.
