NEW DELHI: Indian telecom operators have informed the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> that the so-called Indian 5G<\/a> standard, 5Gi, doesn't have a device ecosystem and it should only be considered as optional and non-mandatory for the industry<\/a>. They said that making the standard mandatory would increase prices of smartphones.
Indian telcos, vendors and chipmakers met the DoT<\/a> Secretary last week for stakeholder consultation on the 5G ecosystem. The meeting was also attended by members from academia, ICEA<\/a>, TSDSI, CDoT and chipmakers.
During the meeting, an Airtel representative told the secretary that 5Gi is not globally harmonized and will lead to costly devices and delays in rollout.
Reliance Jio<\/a> representative also urged the department to avoid mandating any requirements for consumer devices for spectrum, features etc., as they are market driven. “No minimum technology specifications approach for 5G devices,” the company said as per the minutes of meetings accessed by ET.
COAI<\/a>, which represents telcos and gear vendors, told the department that 5Gi doesn't have a device ecosystem and efforts to be made as part of 3GPP.
“There will be implications if there is a separate handset production line for India which then can increase prices. We have sought clarification. It is claimed that there will be minor tweaks in handsets,” COAI<\/a> director general S P Kochhar separately told ET.
Bharti Airtel<\/a> once again raised the device ecosystem related issue with the department and said that 5G devices are required to support in all licensed bands auctioned in India including 2100 MHz, 1800 MHz in both standalone and non-standalone 5G modes.
“Handsets must support NSA Carrier Aggregation and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing in FDD and TDD spectrum bands,” Airtel said, adding that devices should also be capable of transmitting “26 dBm” both in NSA and SA modes.
Telecom operators reiterated the need for affordable 5G handsets to drive the uptake of high-speed service upon commercial availability. The cheapest 5G device is currently available at Rs 15,000 but only supports N78 band or the mid-band.
During the meeting, the COAI said that 5G standards should support both consumers, industry<\/a>, and the Indian government must play a facilitating role.
“We are most happy if the local 5G standard is globally harmonised. Globalisation will help in lowering the cost of devices and achieving scale. It will also make India an export hub for 5G handsets. Harmonisation with 3GPP is crucial even as there is substantial progress for 5Gi with the ITU,” Kochhar said.
Responding to ET’s queries, Prof. Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director IIT Madras, former Chair-TSDSI and Chief proponent of 5Gi said that 5G handsets require only minor firmware and software changes to become 5G+5Gi handsets, which will not lead to any increase in costs as confirmed by some handset solution providers and operators.
“Even earlier, “operator specific” changes have been implemented by the vendors – example - modems have region specific requirements such as bands, power levels and Dual SIM which involve hardware changes. Also, given the scale of the Indian market in terms of no. of connections and growth rate, the initial development cost of making these modifications, modest as it is, will get amortised very quickly,” Ramamurthi added.
“We should not see a situation where the industry is stuck. If 5Gi gets harmonised then it is a win-win situation. Otherwise the cost to the subscriber will be high,\" Kochhar added.
The Jio representative also supported the technology neutral approach for 5G and suggested that the government must make efforts for global harmonization of 5Gi standards by making it as part of 3GPP.
Samsung, which is the sole 4G equipment provider for Jio and India’s second largest smartphone brand, also supported telcos’ demand for harmonised 5Gi standard during the meeting.
Both Jio and Airtel reiterated their demand for lowering the reserve price for 5G spectrum.
“Current pricing of mid-band spectrum is unrealistic,” Jio said, supporting the need to seek the reserve price from TRAI<\/a> for all 5G spectrum bands for auction with a clear request that the reserve price be kept reasonable in order to meet the 5G proliferation goals.

ET on Monday reported that the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> (DoT) will seek a fresh base price from the telecom regulator for the 3300-3750 MHz as well as floor prices for other bands that can support 5G.
Jio also urged the department to make available 2 GHz of mid-band spectrum to meet the demands of 2025-2030 timeframe. Airtel, on the other hand, asked the government to auction spectrum in mmWave band along with mid band and 600 MHz band and earmark them for 5G.
Jio has also asked the department to identify and incorporate in NFAP the entire C band 3.3-4.2 GHz, mmWave 24.25-29.5 Ghz, 37 GHz along with E and V bands.

电信运营商重申需要负担得起的5 g手机驱动的高速服务在商业可用性。最便宜的5 g设备目前可以在Rs 15000但只支持N78乐队或mid-band。
会议期间,COAI说5 g标准应该同时支持消费者,行业,印度政府必须发挥促进作用。
“我们是最快乐的,如果当地5 g标准是全球统一的。全球化将有助于降低设备成本和实现规模。它还将使印度的出口中心5 g手机。协调与3 gpp至关重要,即使有实质性进展5 gi电联,”Kochhar说。
响应等的查询,Bhaskar Ramamurthi教授,主任IIT马德拉斯,Chair-TSDSI和前首席支持5 gi说5 g手机只需要轻微的固件和软件更改成为5 g + 5 gi手机,不会导致任何证实了成本增加一些手机解决方案提供商和运营商。
运营商特定“更早,变化由供应商——例如调制解调器实现地区具体要求比如乐队,功率和双SIM涉及硬件的变化。同时,考虑到印度市场的规模。的连接和增长率,最初的开发成本做出这些修改,温和,很快会摊余,”Ramamurthi补充道。
“我们不应该看到的情况行业是卡住了。如果5胃肠道协调那么它就是一个双赢的局面。否则订阅者的成本将会很高,”Kochhar补充道。
Jio代表也支持5 g的技术中立的方法和建议政府必须努力为全球协调5 gi标准,使其作为3 gpp的一部分。
三星,这是唯一的4 g设备提供商Jio和印度第二大智能手机品牌,也支持电信的需求统一5 gi标准会议期间。
Jio和Airtel重申要求保留价格降低5 g频谱。
“当前定价mid-band频谱是不现实的,”Jio说,支持需要寻求的保留价格火车为所有5 g频段拍卖保留价格明确要求保持合理的为了满足5 g扩散的目标。
周一报道,等电信部(点)将寻求一个新的基础价格从3300 - 3750 MHz的电信监管机构以及地板的价格其他的乐队可以支持5克。
Jio还敦促美国提供2 GHz mid-band频谱来满足需求的2025 - 2030年。Airtel,另一方面,要求政府拍卖的频谱mmWave乐队乐队中期和600 MHz频带和拨款5克。

Jio对抗5中加入Airtel gi标准;说2 GHz mid-band所需印度5 g的需求
印度电信公司、厂商和芯片制造商符合利益相关者磋商的点部长上周5 g的生态系统。
新德里:印度电信运营商通知电信部所谓的印度5克标准,5 gi,没有设备的生态系统,它应该只被认为是可选的,非强制性的行业。他们说,强制执行的标准将提高智能手机的价格。
印度电信公司、厂商和芯片制造商了点部长上周对利益相关者协商5 g的生态系统。会议也由学术界成员参加,工商东亚、TSDSI CDoT和芯片制造商。
会议期间,一个Airtel代表告诉秘书,5 gi不是全球统一,将会导致昂贵的设备和延迟推出。
依赖Jio代表还敦促美国消费者对频谱的设备,避免强制任何要求特性等,因为它们是市场驱动的。“没有最低为5 g设备技术规范方法,”该公司表示每分钟的会议访问等。
COAI代表电信运营商和设备供应商,告诉部门5胃肠道没有设备生态系统和努力是由3 gpp的一部分。
“会有影响,如果有一个单独的手机生产线对印度然后可以增加价格。我们寻求澄清。据称,手机将会有轻微的调整,”COAI总经理S P Kochhar分别告诉等。
Bharti Airtel再次提高了设备生态系统相关问题的部门,说5 g设备必须支持所有许可的乐队在印度拍卖包括2100 MHz、1800 MHz独立和non-standalone 5 g模式。
“手机必须支持国家安全局载波聚合和动态频谱共享在FDD和TDD谱带,“Airtel说,并补充说设备也应该能够传送“26 dBm”在国家安全局和SA模式。
电信运营商重申需要负担得起的5 g手机驱动的高速服务在商业可用性。最便宜的5 g设备目前可以在Rs 15000但只支持N78乐队或mid-band。
会议期间,COAI说5 g标准应该同时支持消费者,行业,印度政府必须发挥促进作用。
“我们是最快乐的,如果当地5 g标准是全球统一的。全球化将有助于降低设备成本和实现规模。它还将使印度的出口中心5 g手机。协调与3 gpp至关重要,即使有实质性进展5 gi电联,”Kochhar说。
响应等的查询,Bhaskar Ramamurthi教授,主任IIT马德拉斯,Chair-TSDSI和前首席支持5 gi说5 g手机只需要轻微的固件和软件更改成为5 g + 5 gi手机,不会导致任何证实了成本增加一些手机解决方案提供商和运营商。
运营商特定“更早,变化由供应商——例如调制解调器实现地区具体要求比如乐队,功率和双SIM涉及硬件的变化。同时,考虑到印度市场的规模。的连接和增长率,最初的开发成本做出这些修改,温和,很快会摊余,”Ramamurthi补充道。
“我们不应该看到的情况行业是卡住了。如果5胃肠道协调那么它就是一个双赢的局面。否则订阅者的成本将会很高,”Kochhar补充道。
Jio代表也支持5 g的技术中立的方法和建议政府必须努力为全球协调5 gi标准,使其作为3 gpp的一部分。
三星,这是唯一的4 g设备提供商Jio和印度第二大智能手机品牌,也支持电信的需求统一5 gi标准会议期间。
Jio和Airtel重申要求保留价格降低5 g频谱。
“当前定价mid-band频谱是不现实的,”Jio说,支持需要寻求的保留价格火车为所有5 g频段拍卖保留价格明确要求保持合理的为了满足5 g扩散的目标。
周一报道,等电信部(点)将寻求一个新的基础价格从3300 - 3750 MHz的电信监管机构以及地板的价格其他的乐队可以支持5克。
Jio还敦促美国提供2 GHz mid-band频谱来满足需求的2025 - 2030年。Airtel,另一方面,要求政府拍卖的频谱mmWave乐队乐队中期和600 MHz频带和拨款5克。
Jio也要求部门识别和结合NFAP整个C波段3.3 -4.2 GHz, mmWave 24.25 -29.5 GHz, 37个GHz E和V带。

NEW DELHI: Indian telecom operators have informed the Department of Telecommunications<\/a> that the so-called Indian 5G<\/a> standard, 5Gi, doesn't have a device ecosystem and it should only be considered as optional and non-mandatory for the industry<\/a>. They said that making the standard mandatory would increase prices of smartphones.
Indian telcos, vendors and chipmakers met the DoT<\/a> Secretary last week for stakeholder consultation on the 5G ecosystem. The meeting was also attended by members from academia, ICEA<\/a>, TSDSI, CDoT and chipmakers.
During the meeting, an Airtel representative told the secretary that 5Gi is not globally harmonized and will lead to costly devices and delays in rollout.
Reliance Jio<\/a> representative also urged the department to avoid mandating any requirements for consumer devices for spectrum, features etc., as they are market driven. “No minimum technology specifications approach for 5G devices,” the company said as per the minutes of meetings accessed by ET.
COAI<\/a>, which represents telcos and gear vendors, told the department that 5Gi doesn't have a device ecosystem and efforts to be made as part of 3GPP.
“There will be implications if there is a separate handset production line for India which then can increase prices. We have sought clarification. It is claimed that there will be minor tweaks in handsets,” COAI<\/a> director general S P Kochhar separately told ET.
Bharti Airtel<\/a> once again raised the device ecosystem related issue with the department and said that 5G devices are required to support in all licensed bands auctioned in India including 2100 MHz, 1800 MHz in both standalone and non-standalone 5G modes.
“Handsets must support NSA Carrier Aggregation and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing in FDD and TDD spectrum bands,” Airtel said, adding that devices should also be capable of transmitting “26 dBm” both in NSA and SA modes.
Telecom operators reiterated the need for affordable 5G handsets to drive the uptake of high-speed service upon commercial availability. The cheapest 5G device is currently available at Rs 15,000 but only supports N78 band or the mid-band.
During the meeting, the COAI said that 5G standards should support both consumers, industry<\/a>, and the Indian government must play a facilitating role.
“We are most happy if the local 5G standard is globally harmonised. Globalisation will help in lowering the cost of devices and achieving scale. It will also make India an export hub for 5G handsets. Harmonisation with 3GPP is crucial even as there is substantial progress for 5Gi with the ITU,” Kochhar said.
Responding to ET’s queries, Prof. Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director IIT Madras, former Chair-TSDSI and Chief proponent of 5Gi said that 5G handsets require only minor firmware and software changes to become 5G+5Gi handsets, which will not lead to any increase in costs as confirmed by some handset solution providers and operators.
“Even earlier, “operator specific” changes have been implemented by the vendors – example - modems have region specific requirements such as bands, power levels and Dual SIM which involve hardware changes. Also, given the scale of the Indian market in terms of no. of connections and growth rate, the initial development cost of making these modifications, modest as it is, will get amortised very quickly,” Ramamurthi added.
“We should not see a situation where the industry is stuck. If 5Gi gets harmonised then it is a win-win situation. Otherwise the cost to the subscriber will be high,\" Kochhar added.
The Jio representative also supported the technology neutral approach for 5G and suggested that the government must make efforts for global harmonization of 5Gi standards by making it as part of 3GPP.
Samsung, which is the sole 4G equipment provider for Jio and India’s second largest smartphone brand, also supported telcos’ demand for harmonised 5Gi standard during the meeting.
Both Jio and Airtel reiterated their demand for lowering the reserve price for 5G spectrum.
“Current pricing of mid-band spectrum is unrealistic,” Jio said, supporting the need to seek the reserve price from TRAI<\/a> for all 5G spectrum bands for auction with a clear request that the reserve price be kept reasonable in order to meet the 5G proliferation goals.
