5 g:基础设施障碍和有限的用例可以在推出初期发挥扫兴
5 g服务已经在70多个国家推出及其部署相当资本密集型。5 g网络基础设施将需要支持多达10倍的带宽比目前支持4 g基础设施。基础设施问题和缺乏相关的用例在印度可能充当障碍成功发射5 g在最初的几年,据专家。
与5 g频谱拍卖即将结束,印度可能会看到一个商业发射的5 g服务今年年底。赌注很高,政府耙在从第一个十万的1.5卢比5克拍卖从四个竞拍者最大的来自穆凯什•安巴尼Jio的依赖。
但是,行业后面的准备吗?
5 g服务已经在70多个国家推出及其部署相当资本密集型。5 g网络基础设施需要支持多达10倍带宽比4 g基础设施目前支持。基础设施问题和缺乏相关的用例在印度可能充当障碍成功发射5 g在最初的几年,据专家。
当前基础设施数据
当前统计数据显示,至少70%的塔需要fiberised 33%的现有水平的5 g的发射服务。此外,投资网络通过提供纤维致密化,小细胞,和活跃的基础设施共享的需要是小时。
根据最近发布的数据全国宽带计划十万的11.71公里的光纤电缆自2019年以来已。不过,整个纤维化在印度仍然是35%按照非目标这需要扩大到2022年底的55%。比哈尔邦,喜马偕尔邦,曼尼普尔邦和那加兰邦塔纤维化目前不到30%,他们对这方面相应地需要专注,根据数字基础设施提供商协会(DIPA)。
的纤维,纤维公里(fkm)人均在印度其他几个关键市场相比要少得多。fkm人均为中国人口13亿人,而对于拥有12亿人口的印度,只是十分之一,即0.09。日本和美国在这方面分别为1.35和1.34 fkm。印度33%的塔fiberised相比,在韩国已经fiberised 65 - 70%的网站,而在美国,日本和中国,fiberisation 80 - 90%的水平。
主任Aniket达尼,CRISIL的研究说,预计基础设施问题构成了挑战,玩家需要增加投资纤维和小细胞部署。“在圆的层面上,猫B和C fiberisation更低。因此,我们预计启动在地铁和几只猫圈。此外,玩家将仔细价格5 g / 4 g为了推动升级。20 - 30%的溢价5 g / 4 g增加关税可能会限制潜在的增加在不久的将来。”
TR Dua总经理,DIPA说,政府应该考虑提高基础设施提供商的范围(IPs-1)登记,允许他们分享活动基础设施体现在ndcp - 2018这将确保推出5 g服务速度。
一项研究表明,网络部署投资减少铺设光纤电缆沿着铁路线,输电网格、管道和估计表明,共享天线网站可以节省运营商40%的资本支出和5 g部署,Dua说。
虽然纤维是理想选择,电信玩家可以与微波回程的优势能力和易于部署。微波回程指的是交通的声音、视频和数据分布式站点和一个集中的point-of-presence之间通过电波。移动网络运营商协会GSMA,说大多数电信公司依靠微波回程解决方案在7 ghz 40 ghz频段,除了v频带(60 ghz)和E-band (70/80GHz乐队)。
公司说Purushothaman 5 g基础设施从服务提供者需要巨额投资,但电信公司现有大量债务和ARPU停滞不前,使更多的战略方法在地铁和大城市推出5 g服务第一是密集和高收入前景。
印度的5 g手机普及率仍然很低15 - 20%。半导体芯片的短缺导致价格增加5 g手机可能会限制健壮的渗透这个财政。测试用例5 g也刚刚开始,这可能是另一个挑战。
最直接的用例5 g等企业,使解决方案的私人网络,网络切片,云功能,软件驱动的网络使用AI / ML,等等。
政府最近建立了一个5 g测试床使创业公司和业界人士来测试和验证他们的产品在本地和减少依赖外国设施。5 g试验台已经开发成一个multi-institute合作项目由八个学院领导的IIT马德拉斯,将在五个不同的地方。在缺乏5 g试验台,初创企业和其他行业参与者被要求出国安装的测试和验证他们的产品5 g网络。
遥遥领先
”推出的新技术如5 g需要如雨后春笋般冒出来的小细胞和纤维化的网络将需要大量的新鲜的全国投资——可能是通过增强IP-1范围使活跃的基础设施共享,可以吸引更需要资金的有效机制,使更快地推出5 g网络。加快推出5克,共享光纤应该强制将节省电信运营商的运营成本”,Dua说。
Network deployment投资减少沿着铁路铺设光纤电缆,电力传输网格和管道。估计表明,共享天线网站可以节省运营商40%的资本支出和5 g部署。
电信部门(点)从所有项目寻求评论的政策草案指南权(行)在全国建立电信基础设施的全面一致性的相关程序和一般原则与行权限、费用、赔偿、费用等。
此外,电信监管机构火车还公布了一份咨询报告在“使用街道家具的小细胞和空中纤维部署”。完成时的政策举措将使5 g的顺利推出。
印度电信日记:5克的到来但很长的路要走!
4 g是速度和提要,5 g也会创造体验,实时引入操作转换、自动化和效率。它将在印度电信行业的下一个十亿连接除了开放新的收入机会,主要是5克私人网络空间。
类似于观察到的趋势在全球范围内,印度公司也将跟着发射穿过non-standalone模式最初(除非顶级球员)。这将有助于减少现金流出在最初的几年,但在短期内限制增量5 g功能。“妊娠期是3 - 9个月推出5 g服务这意味着可以忽略不计在FY23 5 g没有收入。增加部署小细胞和升级的顶线4 g用户5 g导致5 - 10百万5 g FY24订户基地。然而,同样的收入预计将保持移动总收入的不到10%的私人的球员,”丹尼说。
电信部门需要准备5 g驱动创新的商业模式与许多新玩家专注于连接,服务差异化、内容和应用程序进入现有的价值链。
5克将会改变运营商从简单的网络提供商的角色创新网络解决方案提供商,这将打开门在高层合作在不同的行业,公司增加了Purushothaman。

<\/figure>With the 5G spectrum auction<\/a> coming to an end, India may see a commercial launch of 5G services<\/a> by the end of this year. The stakes are high as the government rakes in over Rs 1.5 lakh crore from the first 5G<\/a> auction from the four bidders with maximum coming from Mukesh Ambani\u2019s Reliance Jio.
But is the industry<\/a> behind in terms of readiness?
5G services have already been launched in over 70 countries and its deployment is quite capital intensive. 5G network infrastructure<\/a> will need to support up to 10 times more bandwidth than what 4G infrastructure<\/a> currently supports. The infrastructure issues and lack of relevant use cases in India may act as a roadblock to a successful 5G launch in the initial years, according to experts.
<\/div><\/div>\u201c5G requires huge infrastructure and we are still at the beginning stage of implementation. However, despite the cumbersome nature of rollout, excitement about 5G has picked up well and we are taking steps in the right direction,\u201d KG Purushothaman, Partner and Telecom Sector Leader, KPMG in India said.
Current Infrastructure Statistics
<\/strong>
Current statistics show at least 70% of towers need to be fiberised from the existing level of 33% for the launch of 5G services. Besides, investments in network densification through provisioning of fiber, small cells, and active infrastructure sharing is the need of the hour.
As per the recent data released by National Broadband Mission<\/a> 11.71 lakh kms of optical fibre cable<\/a> has been laid since 2019. Though, the overall fiberization percentage across India remains 35% as per the NBM targets this needs to scale up to 55% by end of 2022. States like Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland have less than 30% towers fiberized presently and they need to focus towards this aspect accordingly, according to Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA).
In terms of the fiber laid, the fibre kilometre (fkm) per capita in India is much less compared to several other key markets. The fkm per capita for China with a population 1.3 billion strong, while for India with a population of 1.2 billion, is just one-tenth, i.e. 0.09. Japan and the US lead in this aspect with 1.35 and 1.34 fkm respectively. Compared to India where 33 % of towers are fiberised,in South Korea 65-70% of sites have been fiberised, while in the US, Japan and China, the level of fiberisation is 80-90%.

<\/div><\/div>Challenges
<\/strong>
Aniket Dani, Director, CRISIL Research says the infrastructure issues are expected to pose a challenge as players need to increase investments in fibre and small cell deployment. \u201cAt circle level, CAT B and C have even lower fiberisation. Therefore, we expect launches in metros and a few CAT A circles. Additionally, the players are expected to carefully price 5G over 4G in order to push upgrades. A premium pricing of 20-30% in 5G over increased 4G tariffs could limit potential additions in near future. \u201c
TR Dua Director General, DIPA says the government should consider enhancing the scope of infrastructure providers (IPs-1) registration by permitting them to share active infrastructure as enshrined in NDCP-2018 which will ensure roll-out of 5G services at a faster pace.
According to a study, network deployment investment is reduced by laying optic fiber cable along railway lines, power transmission grids and pipelines and estimates suggest that sharing antenna sites can save operators up to 40 per cent on both capital expenditure and 5G deployment, Dua said.
While fiber remains the ideal choice, telecom players can go with microwave backhaul as it has an advantage of capacity and ease of deployment. Microwave backhaul refers to the transportation of voice, video, and data between distributed sites and a centralized point-of-presence via airwaves. GSMA, an association of mobile network operators, says that most telcos rely on microwave backhaul solutions in the 7GHz to 40GHz bands, in addition to the V-band (60GHz) and the E-band (70\/80GHz band).
Purushothaman says 5G infrastructure demands a huge investment from the service provider side but the telcos have existing considerable debt and stagnant ARPU, which make a more strategic approach to launch 5G services in metro and big cities first which are dense and have high revenue prospects.
The 5G handset penetration remains low in India at 15-20%. The shortage in semiconductor chips has resulted in an increase in price of 5G handsets which could limit robust penetration this fiscal. Test use cases for 5G have also just started coming in, which could be another challenge.
The most immediate use cases for 5G are in enterprise to enable solutions such as private networks, network slicing, cloud capabilities, software driven networks using AI\/ML, etc.
The government has recently set up a 5G test bed to enable startups and industry players to test and validate their products locally and reduce dependence on foreign facilities. The 5G testbed has been developed as a multi-institute collaborative project by eight institutes led by IIT Madras and will be available at five locations.In the absence of a 5G testbed, startups and other industry players were required to go abroad to test and validate their products for installation in a 5G network.
Way Ahead
<\/strong>
\u201cRoll-out of new technologies like 5G requires mushrooming of small cells and fiberization of the networks which will entail substantial amounts of fresh investments across the country- could be facilitated through enhancement of scope of IP-1 enabling active infrastructure sharing which can be an effective mechanism to attract the much needs funds and enable faster rollout of 5G network.For faster rollout of 5G in the country, sharing of fiber should be mandatory which will save the operational costs of the telecom operators as well\u201d, Dua said.
Network deployment investment is reduced by laying fibre-optic cable along railway lines, power transmission grids and pipelines. Estimates suggest that sharing antenna sites can save operators up to 40 per cent on both capital expenditure and 5G deployment.
The department of telecommunications (DoT<\/a>) has sought comments from all stakeholders on \u2018Draft Policy Guidelines for Right of Way (RoW) in the establishment of Telecommunications Infrastructure across the Country\u2019 for across-the-board consistency in RoW related procedures and general principles related to RoW permissions, fees, compensation, charges etc.
Besides, telecom regulator TRAI has also released a consultation paper on \u201cUse of Street Furniture for Small Cell and Aerial Fibre Deployment\u201d. Both the policy initiatives when finalised will enable a smooth rollout of 5G.
