“The device ecosystem is critical to ensure that operators aren’t sitting on spectrum waiting for affordable devices to show up in the market,” Reliance Jio<\/a> president Mathew Oommen<\/a> told ET, adding that the 3.5 GHz spectrum could be leveraged smartly by telcos to accommodate both 4G and 5G.
He added that the device ecosystem in the country would continue to mature and possibly 2020 would be the inflection point by when the ecosystem would begin to have significant growth.
The lack of availability of affordable 5G-ready handsets is one of the major reasons why some telcos wanted the auctions of spectrum to be pushed back. The government has said it will hold 5G airwaves in the second half of 2019.
The Mobile Association (TMA) that represents handset makers feels that the majority of device players were playing a ‘wait and watch’ strategy as they were waiting for low-cost chipset vendors to successfully demonstrate their capabilities in the price-conscious Indian market.
TMA president Bhawna Kumari said more than 20 vendors were seriously considering the launch of 5G-capable devices.
She added that Samsung<\/a> and Apple are likely to be the first to roll out 5G smartphones followed by Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo and OnePlus, and then Indian brands would follow suit.
“It is for the first time that the two evolutionary mobile technologies would co-exist and interoperate. We will see a generation of devices that simultaneously connect to both 4G and 5G,” Oommen said.
The top executive feels that 5G technology would be complementary to 4G, and not an immediate replacement, which would act as a benefit to operators which have already invested significantly in 4G-VoLTE networks.
Chinese chipmaker UNISOC's multi-modem chipset is currently under development, with related products slated to be released in 2019.
“From our end, we will ensure that high-priority consideration and support is given to the Indian market during the product design phase,” Neeraj Sharma, country head (India) at UNISOC, said.
Sharma believes that 2021-2022 will be a relatively more mature period for 5G to make a market dent.
US-based chipmaker Qualcomm<\/a> has already demonstrated a prototype of an LTE-4G and 5G capable smartphone<\/a> with embedded SIM capability that can work on the 3300-3600 MHz frequency range, recommended by India’s telecom regulator.

“设备生态系统是至关重要的,以确保运营商不坐在光谱等负担得起的设备在市场上出现,“依赖Jio总统马修欧门告诉ET, 3.5 GHz频段可以通过电信公司杠杆潇洒地容纳4 g和5克。
他补充说,该设备在全国生态系统可能会继续成熟,2020年将是转折点,当生态系统将开始有显著的增长。
缺乏负担得起的5 g功能手机的主要原因之一是一些电信公司想要拍卖的频谱被推迟。政府已表示,它将在2019年下半年举行5 g电波。
移动协会(TMA)代表手机制造商觉得大多数设备玩“等等看”的策略,因为他们在等低成本芯片供应商在印度市场敏感,成功地展示他们的能力。
TMA总统Bhawna库玛丽说20多个供应商认真考虑推出5 g支持设备。
她补充说,三星和苹果很可能是第一个推出5 g智能手机上紧随其后的是中国品牌,如小米、体内OnePlus,然后印度品牌会效仿。
“这是第一次,这两个进化移动技术将共存和互操作。我们将看到一代设备同时连接到4 g和5克,”欧门说。
高管认为5 g技术将4 g的补充,而不是立即更换,这将作为一个有利于运营商已经在4 g-volte网络投资显著。
中国芯片制造商UNISOC multi-modem芯片组目前正在发展,与相关产品计划在2019年被释放。
“从我们的结束,我们将确保高优先级和支持是考虑到印度市场在产品设计阶段,“Neeraj Sharma说,国家UNISOC(印度)主管说。
Sharma认为,2021 - 2022年将是一个相对更成熟时期5 g市场削弱。
美国芯片制造商高通已经证明的原型LTE-4G和5 g能力智能手机使用嵌入式SIM卡功能,可以工作3300 - 3600 MHz频率范围,推荐的印度电信监管机构。
