<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>New Delhi: Reliance Jio<\/a> and Bharti Airtel<\/a> plan to set up telecom networks utilising the 26 GHz spectrum band<\/a> to meet the minimum roll out obligations, despite no device ecosystem, executives at the two telcos said.

The companies were earlier considering seeking an extension from the Department of Telecommunications (
DoT<\/a>) on the deadline to meet roll out obligations. But with the equipment makers assuring of supply of gear, the telcos have decided to set up the radios in all telecom circles to meet the basic roll out conditions.

A broader roll out will, however, not take place as currently there are no devices to support the band.

As per information available with ET, both the telcos have communicated to DoT that they would not need an extension and will set up the network as per the conditions in the notice inviting application (NIA).

The roll out obligations for the 26 GHz band are similar to the mid-band (3300-3600 MHz) for the first year. This means that by the end of first year, a company has to commercially launch service anywhere in each of the three metros and at least in one city in each of India's 22 telecom circles.

Any non-compliance on roll out obligations attracts a financial penalty. If the delay of service launch is more than 52 weeks, then the spectrum assigned can even be taken back.

“Meeting the roll out obligations is not a big issue for us. We were earlier thinking of seeking an extension as the equipment supply was not ensured but since the issue has been resolved now, we will comply with the conditions,” an executive with one of two operators said.

Another executive said companies must respect the sanctity of the NIA, which is a legal document. “While changes can be made in the NIA by the government after proper approvals depending on the requirements, it is advisable not to amend as it may have legal challenges later.”

Queries sent to
Airtel<\/a>, Reliance<\/a> Jio, Vodafone Idea<\/a> and Adani Data Networks<\/a> regarding roll out obligations for 26 GHz elicited no response till press time.

The 26 GHz band was auctioned in last year's spectrum sale and all four bidders—Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Adani Data Networks—bought them for their
5G requirements<\/a>. The 26 GHz was the most sought-after spectrum after mid-band in the auctions of 2022, with 72% of the airwaves getting sold. But the absence of a device ecosystem has led to telcos not using the spectrum for their 5G needs, said industry<\/a> executives, asking not to be named.

Currently, Jio is rolling out 5G utilising mid-band (3300-3600 MHz) and 700 MHz band, while Airtel is using the 1800 MHz in combination with the mid-band as there are devices available which support the bands. Vodafone Idea, which bought 5G airwaves in both mid-band and 26 GHz band, is yet to announce its 5G roll out plans.

电信公司将满足推出义务26 GHz尽管缺乏设备的生态系统

26个GHz的推出义务带类似mid-band第一年(3300 - 3600 MHz)。这意味着第一年年底,公司商业发射服务在每个地方的三个地铁和至少一个城市在每个印度的22个电信圈。

新德里消息:依赖JioBharti Airtel计划建立电信网络利用26 GHz谱带满足最低推出义务,尽管没有设备的生态系统,两家电信公司高管说。

公司早些时候考虑寻找一个扩展的电信()期限,以满足推出义务。但随着齿轮的设备制造商保证供应,电信公司决定设立了收音机在所有电信圈来满足最基本的条件。

更广泛的推广,然而,并不是目前没有发生设备支持乐队。

26个GHz的推出义务带类似mid-band第一年(3300 - 3600 MHz)。这意味着第一年年底,公司商业发射服务在每个地方的三个地铁和至少一个城市在每个印度的22个电信圈。

任何不符合推出义务吸引了罚款。如果服务启动的延迟超过52周,然后频谱分配甚至可以收回。

“会议推出义务对我们来说并不是一个大问题。早些时候我们想寻求一个扩展设备供应不是保证,而是因为这个问题现在已经解决了,我们会符合条件,”与两个运营商的一名高管表示。

另一位高管说,公司必须尊重NIA的神圣性,这是一个法律文件。“虽然变化在NIA可以适当批准后由政府根据需求,建议不要修改,因为它可能以后法律挑战。”
