5G In India: What Is 5G, Will You Need To Pay More And 5 Other Common Questions Answered

News 18  

With the 5G spectrum auction finally getting the green light, we would like to refresh your memory around what exactly is a 5G network, what are its benefits, what users can expect, and some other frequently asked questions around the new network standard. Now, 5G, in the most simple terms, is the latest network standard that offers faster than ever internet speed, ultra low-latency, more reliability, a large network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience. Now, low-band 5G uses a similar frequency range as 4G between 600Mhz to 900Mhz, mid-band 5G uses mmWaves between 1.7GHz to 4.7 GHz, and high-band 5G uses frequencies of 24–47 GHz. It is expected that the Mid and High band spectrum will be utilised by Telecom Service Providers to roll-out of 5G technology-based services capable of providing speed and capacities, which would be about 10 times higher than what is possible through the current 4G services. Back in March 2022, Airtel’s Chief Technology Officer, Randeep Sekhon had said that 5G plans in India are expected to be priced similar to the 4G plans we are paying for currently.
