Building a 5G India
5G is the fifth generation of cellular networks, allowing for large volumes of data transfer with minimal lag. This new communication technology – now live across the world – brings new capabilities that will create opportunities for people, businesses, and society.
5G is set to have a hugely beneficial impact on India – and it on its way to becoming a reality. According to the Ericsson reports, 5G business potential industry revenues for service providers in India will be USD 17 billion by 2030. Add to this the fact that India is the highest consumer of mobile data as per the Ericsson Mobility Report, and the potential that 5G can unlock it tremendous.
However, to truly capitalize on 5G’s value, it is important to fast track the development of 5G in India. To enable this, we are working closely with communications service providers to develop 5G use cases for India & are collaborating with institutions such as the India Institute of Technology to bringing together telecom ecosystems, academia, industry and start-ups from across the country.
We have been preparing the networks for the smooth migration to 5G with our Ericsson Radio System since 2015 ; we were the first to demonstrate 5G technology in the country through 5G use cases with India’s 1st 5G connected music concert as a live 5G use case being shown more recently .
We have always believed in India’s potential and , we are ready to power India to a 5G future.
