<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Imagine an India<\/a> with world-class healthcare infrastructure, experiential education, smart-agriculture, non-existent digital divide between the rural and the urban, individuals and organisations in every corner of the nation with access to real-time data backed by Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning<\/a>, Big Data<\/a> and the list goes on.

As we envision India marching towards a truly digital nation and breaking all shackles of being technologically tied in any sense, let us explore the possibilities in this regard.

Undoubtedly, India has come a long way in its evolution of technology and digitalisation. Cloud-based data systems continue to make Digital India a reality. Subsequently, with the roll-out of 5G<\/a> network services, the country has a plethora of unseen opportunities to explore in every sector. In fact, the telecom industry<\/a> has a major role to play in enabling each sector to tap the great potential of automation and Industry 4.0 for the Indian industrial landscape via 5G.

5G is not just another ‘G’, it’s indeed a class apart. And thus, for India to unlock all the unprecedented capabilities of 5G, the crucial ingredient of spectrum needs to be fortified. The need for mid-band spectrum, which provides a balance of wide coverage and capacity, is critical for the rapid and cost-efficient deployments of 5G mobile networks and to meet the exponentially increasing data demands of the citizens at affordable terms.

With only 300 MHz in 3300-3600 MHz planned for 5G in India, the shortfall to achieve at least 2 GHz of mid-band spectrum for 5G operations, as recommended by GSMA, is indeed a grave concern. The 6 GHz band provides the most optimal solution to this, as this unused band has the requisite traits as well as adequate availability to meet the requirement to a great extent. As it has been established by now, the spectrum is qualified to bring ground-breaking upgrades to the mobile broadband ecosystem. Faster data speed, wider network capacity, efficiency through low latency and higher reliability, are sure-shot maneuvers with the 6 GHz band!

Some would contend that India should follow global examples for the 6 GHz band, whereby some countries have partially\/fully delicensed it, rather than identifying the full 1200 MHz of the band for IMT. But what is not being thought through is that India’s demographics as well as needs are quite distinct from such countries, like USA or Brazil for example. We have a much higher population density compared to any of these nations, while at the same time, we are the highest consumer of mobile data globally. Obviously, our spectrum needs would be much higher to cater to this continuously rising usage demand and higher capacities required over each mobile tower.

The current population density of India in 2023 is 464 persons per square kilometer, compared to USA having a population density of 36 persons per square kilometer and Brazil having 25 persons per square kilometer. This unique demographic trait necessitates that spectrum loading in India happens to the tune of ~96%, compared to 40-50% in USA or Brazil. So, the average population served by each antenna in India is roughly 8 times that of these countries, putting a requirement of almost 4-5 MHz of spectrum per person in India. Well, drawing parallels with these nations definitely doesn’t seem rational or prudent in that case.

If India were to allocate the 6 GHz spectrum band for commercial use, it could help accelerate the country's 5G rollout by enabling mobile network operators to deploy faster and more efficient networks. Some of the potential benefits of allocating the spectrum for commercial use would include:

If India were to allocate the 6 GHz spectrum band for commercial use, it could help accelerate the country's 5G rollout by enabling mobile network operators to deploy faster and more efficient networks. Some of the potential benefits of allocating the spectrum for commercial use would include:

  • Increased Network Capacity:<\/strong> The 6 GHz spectrum band provides a large amount of available spectrum, which can be used to increase the capacity of mobile networks. This would enable operators to provide more bandwidth to their customers, supporting the growing demand for data services in India.<\/li>
  • Faster Data Speeds: <\/strong>The 6 GHz band offers high-speed data rates, which can enable faster download and upload speeds for consumers. This would help support applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and other data-intensive services.<\/li>
  • Improved Network Performance:<\/strong> The 6 GHz band offers low latency, which is critical for supporting emerging applications such as virtual and augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, and industrial IoT. This would enable operators to provide their customers with a reliable and responsive network.<\/li>
  • Better Spectrum Efficiency:<\/strong> The 6 GHz band is a contiguous block of spectrum, which can enable better spectrum efficiency for mobile network operators. This would allow them to provide more services to customers while reducing their operating costs.<\/li><\/ul>In addition, the 6 GHz spectrum band can help address the growing demand for wireless connectivity in India, as the country has one of the world's largest mobile markets with more than 1.2 billion wireless subscribers. With the increased capacity and efficiency provided by the band, operators could better serve this large and growing market and support the development of new and innovative wireless services.

    On the other hand, shortage of 6 GHz band spectrum would compel TSPs to densify networks to meet IMT-2020 performance requirement for 5G, leading to 60% higher annual costs, as well as reduced speeds, affordability and therefore, uptake of 5G services.

    Allocating the 6 GHz spectrum band for commercial use would provide a significant boost to mobile broadband, which caters to over 95% of the user base in India. It could prove to be an important step towards building a world-class 5G network and supporting the country's digital transformation efforts.

    With hopes that the decision goes in favour of building an India that can compete with the growing speed of the world, the greatness of everything set to be unlocked is enormous… Greatness that will make India capable of leading. Especially, with the undaunted aid by network operators holding the prime responsibility to enable each industry in tapping the services of 5G technology to its fullest potential.
