5G支持印度数字经济和工业4.0:Rajaraman
“印度政府昨天宣布，5G频谱拍卖，预计将在今年8月的某个时候推出。从理论上讲，这有望是向前迈出的一大步，为印度数字经济和工业4.0的增长奠定了坚实的基础，”拉贾拉曼周四在第二届“开放RAN印度”的主题演讲中说。
“印度政府昨天宣布5克频谱拍卖，因此，预计在今年8月的某个时候推出。这在理论上是向前迈出的一大步，为印度数字经济和工业4.0的增长奠定了坚实的基础，”拉贾拉曼周四在第二届“开放RAN印度”的主题演讲中说。
周三，内阁批准了印度电信监管局(TRAI)建议的5G拍卖基准价格。拍卖将于7月26日开始，总共将拍卖72GHz的电波，以在该国推出5G服务。
他说，为了满足这些日益增长的需求，网络也必须相应地发展和转型。“从封闭和专有的传统网络，网络设计和架构正在向开放无线接入网络(O-RAN)发展。”
O-RAN被视为防止供应商锁定的一种方式，允许电信公司从不同的供应商采购硬件和软件，同时降低相关成本，从而为网络带来更多的“开放性”。
“在印度，我很高兴地注意到，许多初创公司和行业参与者已经迎难而上，开始了O-RAN的工作。C-DoT(远程信息技术发展中心)已经找到了一个O-RAN联盟，正在努力开发一个O-RAN测试平台，我希望更多的印度公司能够加入这个印度O-RAN联盟，在明年左右开发印度专用的O-RAN堆栈。”
内阁批准5G频谱拍卖，以印度铁路价格
在同意电信监管机构建议的频谱价格的同时，内阁取消了中标者需要预付费用的要求，并允许公司在20年内按年分期付款。
拉贾拉曼指的是5G开放RAN由C-DoT成立的联盟，包括本土电信初创公司，如Lekha Wireless, Resonus Technologies, Sooktha, Tejas Networks, Saankhya Labs, VVDN Technologies, SignalChip和WiSig Networks。
6月2日，C-DoT还与VVDN和IIT海得拉巴孵化的WiSig签署了协议，开发国产5G开放RAN设备。
值得注意的是，三大电信公司依赖Jio，Bharti Airtel和沃达丰的想法都看好Open RAN的前景。
此外，亿万富翁穆凯什·安巴尼(Mukesh Ambani)的Jio也开发了自主研发的5G堆栈，在验证了其在印度的竞争力后，它倾向于将其推向全球市场。
“现在总结一下O-RAN的主要好处，供应商生态系统将会多样化。引入新的创新模式，降低总拥有成本，并有助于释放新的收入机会，”Rajaraman说。

\u201cGovernment of India announced yesterday that 5G<\/a> spectrum auctions and consequently, rollout is expected sometime in August of this year. This promises to be a big step forward in theory a strong foundation for the growth of India\u2019s digital economy and Industry 4.0,\u201d Rajaraman said in his keynote address at the second edition of \u2018Open RAN India\u2019 on Thursday.
The Cabinet on Wednesday has cleared the 5G auctions basis prices suggested by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The auctions which is set to start on July 26, will see a total of 72GHz airwaves going under the hammer to rollout 5G services in the country.
<\/div><\/div>\u201cWe expect big economic gains from 5G in terms of innovation and driving economy tools to grow the various sectors. Incidentally, it promises to be the first time but every sector has an opportunity to use it to actually drive new services, new products, new experience for customers and for the industry player,\u201d he said.
Networks will parallelly have to evolve and transform to meet these increasing demands, he said. \u201cFrom closed and proprietary legacy networks, network design and architecture is evolving towards open radio access network (O-RAN).\u201d
O-RAN is being seen as a way to prevent vendor-lock in, bring more \u2018openness\u2019 to the networks by allowing telecom companies to source hardware and software from various vendors while leading to a reduction in related costs.
\u201cIn India, I'm happy to note that many startups and industry players have already taken the challenge head-on to commence work on O-RAN. C-DoT (Centre for Development of Telematics) has found an O-RAN Alliance and working towards developing an O-RAN testbed and I hope that more Indian companies will be able to come on board this India O-RAN aliance to develop India-specific O-RAN stack in the next year or so,\u201d the official said.
