Amid the talks of India adopting 5G technology, which in present form can deliver up to 1000 mbps download speed, from this year, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) chairman R S Sharma has said that India must make the most from the diverse applications under the upcoming 5G technology to solve some of its developmental problems in areas such as transport and agriculture.
5G is the next-generation mobile network which is expected to boost range and speed that the current 4G and 3G couldn’t cope to deliver. Telecom secretary J S Deepak had earlier said that India lagged behind in adoption of 3G and 4G but it wants to catch with the world for 5G technology.
Trai chief has suggested opting 5G technology as soon as possible, saying that “It's a fantastic technology and may help the government to solve some of its developmental problems in areas such as transport and agriculture”. He also said that 5G is an exciting area where application domains are going to be hugely diverse.
Mentioning use of 5G in various domains like transport, smart cities, agriculture and irrigation, Sharma pointed that individual domains must come ahead and explore the application scenarios of it. Further, he mentioned that the 2G/3G/4G applications are communication applications but 5G involves a use of technology in areas not traditionally connected with the communication system.
