Kolkata: Telecom companies underlined in a joint meeting with the parliamentary standing committee on IT on Tuesday that the government should make 5G spectrum<\/a> available across multiple bands, including premium millimetre waves, at affordable prices for boosting India’s readiness to deploy the next generation mobile broadband technology.

Separately, the
parliamentary panel<\/a>, headed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor<\/a>, sought clarity from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on whether the government had actually banned Chinese telecom vendors, Huawei and ZTE from participating in 5G network<\/a> contracts.

Senior DoT officials, it is learnt, told the panel that there is no ban in theory on any Chinese gear makers, stopping them from selling
5G<\/a> gear, but like other companies from bordering countries, they too have to take additional approvals.

The Tharoor--led panel initially met top executives of Reliance
Jio<\/a>, Bharti Airtel<\/a> and Vodafone Idea<\/a> n Tuesday to assess India's preparedness to go 5G. Later in the evening, it held a separate review meeting with DoT and the sector regulator.

Last month, DoT had told Parliament that a final decision on Chinese vendor involvement in 5G would be taken by the home ministry after taking into account the national security concerns.

Existing Chinese investments in India have come under close scrutiny of the government after rising tensions on the Sino-Indo border in August.

The government has so far barred the Chinese gear makers from supplying 4G gear to state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. But it hasn't issued any official circular regarding the same. The government is learnt to be also discouraging sourcing of equipment from Chinese vendors, ET had previously reported.

On the spectrum availability issue, a senior
industry<\/a> executive aware of the discussions, said “the issue of auctioning idle spectrum, currently locked with various central ministries, for commercial 5G services came up during the talks.

The Centre plans to auction 4G airwaves in early 2021, which may be followed by a sale of 5G spectrum later in the year. But it has yet to fix any 5G spectrum sale timeline or reveal the bands on offer. The regulator has so far earmarked airwaves in the 3.3-3.6 GHz bands for 5G in India.

Tuesday’s meetings come shortly after an apex panel of secretaries nudged the Department of Space (DoS) and the defence ministry to heed the DoT’s request to part with unused 5G spectrum – both in the coveted 26 GHz band and those in the 3.3-3.6 GHz frequencies – for commercial use by
telcos<\/a>. The DoT wants the government to release 3,000 units of 26 GHz millimetre wave spectrum and 300 units in the 3.3-3.6 GHz for 5G. The airwaves are with the DoS and the defence ministry.

Some telcos also flagged concerns around adopting any purely India-centric 5G standards, saying it would increase rollout and device costs and undermine the business case, said people aware of the matter. The issue is turning out to be a flashpoint between Reliance Jio on one side and older carriers Bharti Airtel and Vi on the other.

Jio is backing 5G technology with Indian standards to generate indigenous intellectual property rights (IPR), while its incumbent rivals say that these fall short in terms of interoperability with global standards and thus won’t be commercially viable.

“It was pointed out to the parliamentary panel that India could end up islanding itself in the global 5G space if it backs a local standard that does not mesh with the uniform global 5G standard already deployed in some 100 markets,” said another executive, who also spoke on condition of anonymity.

Telcos also bemoaned disparate right of way rules and called for uniform norms to speed up countrywide fiberisation of telecom towers, which they said is absolutely critical to support 5G data speeds and apps such as video-on-demand, Internet of things and smart cities.

ET’s queries to Jio, Airtel and Vi remained unanswered till press time.

加尔各答:电信公司强调联合会见议会常务委员会周二,政府应该让5 g频谱可以跨多个乐队,包括溢价毫米波,以负担得起的价格推动印度的准备部署下一代移动宽带技术。

此外,议会委员会由国会议员塔鲁尔,希望明确电信部(点)政府是否已经禁止中国电信厂商,华为和中兴的参与5 g网络合同。

点高级官员,据了解,对该委员会说,理论上没有禁止在任何中国设备制造商,阻止他们销售5克装备,但与接壤国家的其他公司一样,他们也需要额外的批准。

塔鲁尔——领导小组最初遇到了高管的依赖Jio,Bharti附近的旅馆沃达丰的想法n周二评估印度准备去5克。晚上晚些时候,它举办了一个单独的点和行业监管机构审查会议。

上个月,点告诉议会,最终决定对中国供应商参与5克之后,由内政部考虑国家安全方面的担忧。

现有中国投资在印度受到密切关注政府在8月份Sino-Indo边境的紧张局势。

迄今为止,政府禁止中国设备制造商提供4 g齿轮国营Bharat Sanchar Nigam说有限公司和Mahanagar电话尼噶有限公司但尚未发表任何官方关于相同的循环。政府也学会了阻止从中国供应商采购的设备,而此前报道。

高级频谱可用性问题行业的执行意识到讨论,说:“拍卖空闲频谱的问题,目前锁定与各中央部委,为商业5 g服务在谈判。

中心计划在2021年初,拍卖4 g无线电波这可能是紧随其后的是出售5 g频谱在今年晚些时候。但它尚未修复5 g频谱拍卖时间表或揭示了乐队。监管机构迄今为止专项电波在3.3 - -3.6 GHz频段在印度5克。

周二的会议来后不久,一个顶点的秘书小组推动空间(DoS)和国防部听从点的请求与未使用部分5 g频谱——梦寐以求的26个GHz乐队和那些在3.3 -3.6 GHz频率——为商业用途电信公司。点希望政府发布3000 GHz 26毫米单位波谱和300台3.3 - -3.6 GHz 5 g。广播电视是DoS和国防部。

一些电信公司也标记担忧采用任何纯粹的以5 g标准,称这将增加部署和设备成本和破坏商业案例,说,人们意识到这件事。问题是是依赖之间的导火索Jio一边和老运营商Bharti Airtel和Vi。

Jio支持5 g技术与印度标准生成自主知识产权(IPR),而其现任对手说这些方面的不足与全球标准的互操作性,因此不会在商业上可行。

“这是向议会委员会指出,印度可能最终孤岛效应本身在全球5 g空间如果它支持当地的标准,不符合统一的全球100 g标准已经部署在一些市场,”另一位高管说,他也不愿透露姓名的。

电信公司也抱怨不同权规则,并呼吁统一规范,加快全国fiberisation电信塔,他们说绝对是至关重要的支持5 g数据速度和应用如视频点播、物联网和智能城市。

等的查询来Jio Airtel和Vi仍然悬而未决直到截稿时间。
