电信运营商、空间宽带提供商在毫米波频段上争执不休，寻求干扰解决方案
Reliance Jio公共政策与监管事务总裁Ravi Gandhi表示:“咨询文件中的所有这些频谱频段都应该拍卖，25.7GHz至29.5GHz也应该拍卖。”
印度电信政策副总裁Ajay Mehta表示:“印度电信部(DoT)给Trai的参考文件非常清楚地表明，3300至3670的频谱应该提供给电信服务提供商，用于国际移动电信(IMT)服务和5G。沃达丰的想法说。
“我认为频谱数量必须从3300 MHz增加到3670 MHz。只有370兆赫，理想情况下应该达到4.2千兆赫。这一数量必须在一段时间内增加，”梅塔说，并补充说，在毫米波波段，量子必须再次从28.5增加到29.5，同时还要照顾到该波段的卫星运营商。
“我们建议在印度采用3300到3800MHz。连续和无干扰频谱的可用性是非常关键的，”Rahul Vatts, at的监管事务副总裁Bharti Airtel说。
Vatts还表示，监管机构应该确保并“寻求”电信部(DoT)或WPC(无线规划和协调部)的确认，频谱将是无干扰的，供运营商商业使用，并补充说，频谱拍卖、付费和部分未使用是非常不公平的。
“我们实际上应该考虑24.25到27.5GHz，这为该国的四家运营商提供了足够的频谱。因此，我们建议妥善处理这一问题，目前将27.5至28.5GHz频段用于卫星，这是向前推进的最佳方式。”这位Bharti Airtel高管同时也是OneWeb的代表，OneWeb是Bharti支持的低地球卫星星座，旨在提供太空宽带服务。
“咨询文件中的所有这些频谱频段都应该进行拍卖，25.7GHz至29.5GHz也应该进行拍卖，”印度电信公共政策与监管事务总裁Ravi Gandhi说依赖Jio说
Gandhi进一步表示，监管机构应该建议电信部门(DoT)为IMT服务增加1g赫兹。
“我们要求将27.5GHz以上频段预留给即将进行的卫星频谱磋商的讨论，以使这些讨论更加完整。就卫星方面而言，关于28千兆赫的讨论是非常重要的，”Viasat亚太地区政府和监管事务Mehul Bhandari表示。
Trai希望在2月15日之前提交5G拍卖，因为电信公司和卫星公司在分配问题上存在分歧
印度电信监管局(Trai)已要求公司和其他相关方在2月15日之前提交额外的文件，特别是有关频谱估值方法的细节。
然而，总部位于德里的非营利组织“电信监督”(Telecom Watchdog)寻求出售所有拟议频段的频谱。
“任何东西都不应该免费提供。任何运营商或任何人都不重视免费。任何免费提供给任何人的东西，他们都会试图滥用它。最近一次发生在2G诈骗案中，”电信监督机构创始人阿尼尔·库马尔说，并补充说，2012年取消牌照对印度电信来说是一个重大挫折行业．
毫米波的分配仍然是地面网络运营商和卫星服务提供商之间有争议的问题，后者寻求行政分配，引用了其他地区的案例研究。但是，电信公司，尤其是亿万富翁穆克什·安巴尼拥有的Jio和库马尔·曼加拉姆·比拉支持的沃达丰Idea强烈反对任何此类举措，称将遵守相同服务的规则。
Trai已要求利益相关者在2月15日之前提交额外的投入，特别是关于频谱估值方法的投入。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: Telecom service providers and satellite operators have made divergent views seeking more quantum of airwaves for fifth-generation or 5G<\/a> broadband services, primarily premium millimeter wave or mmWave band, and sought effective interference redressal at the sector regulator's open house discussion (OHD) Tuesday in run up to the mega spectrum auction this year.\"The reference which has been given by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to Trai very clearly articulates that the spectrum from 3300 to 3670 should be made available to telecom service providers for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) services and 5G,\" Ajay Mehta, Vice President - Policy at Vodafone Idea<\/a> said.
\"I think the spectrum quantity has to be increased from 3300 to 3670 MHz. It's only 370 megahertz, ideally it should go up to 4.2 gigahertz. The quantity has to be increased over a period of time,\" Mehta said, adding that in the millimeter-wave band, the quantum has to again increase from 28.5 and go up to 29.5 while also simultaneously taking care of satellite operators in that band.
<\/div><\/div>Tuesday, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India<\/a> (Trai) organised a virtual discussion on the allocation of frequency bands for commercial 5G services that has witnessed participation from as many as 190 stakeholders locally and worldwide.
\"We are recommending that 3300 to 3800MHz be adopted in India. The availability of contiguous and interference-free spectrum is very critical,\" Rahul Vatts, Vice President - Regulatory Affairs at Bharti Airtel<\/a> said.
Vatts also said that the regulator should ensure and \"seek a confirmation\" from the Department of Telecom (DoT) or WPC (Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing) that the spectrum is going to be interference-free for use commercially by operators and added that it would be very unfair for spectrum to be auctioned, to be paid for, and partly remain unutilised.
\"We should be actually looking at 24.25 to 27.5GHz which gives an ample amount of spectrum to four operators in the country. And so, we would recommend that that be taken care of in according manner and 27.5 to 28.5GHz be given the use for satellite as of now, that's the best way to go ahead,\" the Bharti Airtel executive who also represents OneWeb, a Bharti-backed low-earth constellation of satellite that aims to offer space broadband services, said.

<\/div><\/div>However, speakers from both varying sides suggested the Telecom Watchdog to have a full thorough study and interference analysis prior to any recommendation being made out.
\"All these spectrum bands in the consultation paper should be put to auction, and 25.7GHz up to 29.5GHz should also be put to auction,\" Ravi Gandhi, President - Public Policy & Regulatory Affairs at Reliance Jio<\/a> said
Gandhi further said that the regulator should recommend the telecom department (DoT) to include an additional 1 gigahertz for IMT services.
\"We request that 27.5GHz band onwards be reserved for discussion on the upcoming consultation on the spectrum for satellite to make those discussions more complete. The discussion on 28 gigahertz is very essential as far as satellite aspects are concerned,\" Mehul Bhandari, Government & Regulatory Affairs - Asia Pacific, Viasat said.
