“The proposed reserve price for 5G airwaves in India is expensive, given the health of the telecom players in India. If the aim is to ensure everyone gets access to 5G, telcos need spectrum at fair and reasonable price,” Nunzio Mirtillo, head of South East Asia, Oceania and India for Ericsson, told ET.
He said that ensuring all telcos get access to 5G spectrum would yield much richer dividends for the economy through digitalisation, Internet of Things, leading to efficiencies which would eventually translate into faster income.
“So, higher income not from the first door but from the second one,” Nunzio said, explaining that government might have to forgo its one-time revenue from sale of bandwidth if it wanted speedy roll-out of the next generation technology in the country.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has recommended a starting price of Rs492 per MHz of 5G spectrum in the 3300-3600 MHz band, which the industry says is too expensive, compared to countries like in South Korea. Despite being prodded by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to lower prices, the Trai has stuck to its guns. The matter will now be decided by the Digital Communications Commission (DCC), which is the highest decision-making body in the DoT.
When asked on whether barring Chinese competitors such as Huawei<\/a> from supplying 5G gear would benefit the Nordic company, Nunzio said Ericsson has never relied on any “geopolitical” factor in the past nor will it rely on in future.
“It is not under our control, we just focus on ourselves. In fact, it is good to have competition,” he said.
The top executive added that that with India expected to become one of the top three largest markets in 5G technology after China and the US, companies will be required to design their technology and invest in R&D keeping the South Asian nation’s specific requirements in mind.
On Huawei’s price advantage compared with European rivals, he said, “The relation between cost competitiveness and technology is very simple. If you invest in R&D, you will also be able to cut the cost down. You don’t reduce the cost by sourcing, you reduce the cost through R&D”.
He said that Ericsson knows how price sensitive a market India us, and claimed that the Swedish company was equally competitive in pricing of 5G equipment.
Ericsson has publicly announced 23, 5G contracts globally out of which 14 have already gone live.
Nunzio also discounted views of the Trai that companies in other sectors, and not just telcos, could be interested in 5G airwaves.
“I will not really bet on it. It is very complex to manage a mobile network. I would leave the managing of the complex mobile network to ones who know how to do that (read: telcos) and then I would use it for applications,” Nunzio said.
Recently, German authorities left a significant chunk of 5G spectrum out of auctions and reserved it for other industries - car companies etc - to be able to do trials using 5G technology to examine use case in other industrial sectors.

“建议的最低价格为5 g电波在印度是昂贵的,由于在印度电信球员的健康。如果目标是确保每个人都获得5 g,电信运营商需要频谱在公平、合理的价格”,Nunzio Mirtillo,东南亚、大洋洲和印度为爱立信,告诉等。
他说,确保所有电信公司获得5 g频谱将更加丰富收益的经济通过数字化,物联网,导致效率,最终转化为更快的收入。
“所以,更高的收入不是来自第一门但是从第二个,“Nunzio说,解释说,政府可能不得不放弃其一次性收入来自销售带宽,如果想要快速推出下一代技术的国家。
印度电信管理局(火车)建议开始每5 MHz Rs492 g频谱价格在3300 - 3600 MHz乐队,这个行业说太贵,而在韩国这样的国家。尽管是在电信部(点)的催促下更低的价格,火车已经坚持。这件事将会决定由数字通信委员会(DCC),点的最高决策机构。
当被问及是否禁止中国等竞争对手华为从供应5 g齿轮将受益北欧公司Nunzio说爱立信从来没有依靠过任何“地缘政治”因素在过去也不会依赖于未来。
“这不是在我们的控制下,我们只关注我们自己。事实上,有竞争是件好事,”他说。
的高管补充称,与印度将成为最大的三大市场之一5 g技术在中国和美国,公司需要设计他们的技术和投资研发保持这个南亚国家的具体需求。
在华为的价格优势与欧洲竞争对手相比,他说,“成本竞争力和技术之间的关系非常简单。如果你投资于研发,你也可以降低成本。你不减少采购成本,降低成本通过研发”。
他说,爱立信知道印度市场我们的价格敏感,并声称瑞典公司也同样有竞争力的定价5 g设备。
爱立信已经公开宣布23日5 g全球合同14已经生活。
Nunzio还打折的火车,其他行业的公司,而不仅仅是电信公司,5 g电波可能感兴趣。
“我不会真的赌它。管理是非常复杂的一个移动网络。我将离开的管理复杂的移动网络的人知道怎么做(阅读:电信公司),然后我将使用它的应用程序,”Nunzio说。
最近,德国当局留下了相当可观的5 g频谱拍卖,保留了其他行业——汽车公司等——能做试验使用5 g技术检查用例在其他工业领域。
