At the India Mobile Congress 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the commercial rollout of 5G services in India. Among the first cities to have access to 5G services will be Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, Gurugram, Jamnagar, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Pune.
According to a telecom company official, the actual rollout in Hyderabad will take about two weeks. The testing phase has ended. Of course, there has been no word on tariffs. According to the official, 5G will begin to gain traction by Diwali.
What exactly is 5G?
The most recent cellular technology is fifth-generation wireless (5G). It will improve wireless network speed and responsiveness. Latency, or the amount of delay that users experience in the network, will be low. If the latency is excessive, the network will be less responsive and slower.
Because of increased available bandwidth and advanced antenna technology, the amount of data transmitted over wireless systems will grow exponentially. New applications, uses, and business cases are expected to emerge as a result of 5G.
5G will enable high-definition video streaming, mobile gaming, and video calls while on the go. Multiple devices can be used simultaneously without fear of the connection slowing down. While it may be tempting to obtain a 5G connection out of curiosity or peer pressure, the answer lies in what you want from your internet connection and at what cost.
Many people want better mobile service, a more reliable connection, and better indoor coverage. 5G speeds will be approximately 7-10 times faster than 4G.
The first 5G phones arrived in India in 2019. If the phone says 5G anywhere, it supports 5G. If not, you should get a new phone. The majority of Android phones and the most recent iPhones (iPhone 12 and later models) support 5G. For many users, upgrading to 5G could be as simple as switching to a new mobile plan. Many smartphone manufacturers are aiming to release them in the Rs.10,000-15,000 price range in order to appeal to a wide range of consumers.
In addition to a 5G-ready phone, it is necessary to determine which 5G bands the phone supports. This information is available on the phone’s retail box.
Telecom companies have purchased 5G spectrum in the low, mid, and high bands. The low band, also known as n28, has a 700MHz spectrum. The mid-band, known as n78, has a frequency of 3500MHz. The n78 band is supported by nearly all 5G phones. The n28 is most likely to be found in more expensive 5G phones. This is because 700MHz is reserved for standalone 5G services or SA 5G.
The high-band has a 26GHz spectrum known as mmWave and n258. Only a few phones will support this, and it is unlikely to be available to consumers at first. Aside from 5G capability, the display, processor, camera, and battery capacity all play a role in improving the experience.
