At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year, the leaders of the world\u2019s wireless industry showcased their next big idea 5G; expected to be up and running by 2020. The 5G technology can bring a paradigm shift in the wireless networks with new features like:
\u2022 Faster speed of up to 10 Gbps
\u2022 Reduced latency of 1 milli-sec, 500 times faster than current LTE technologies
\u2022 Green and sustainable infrastructure
\u2022 Flexibility enabling different wireless technologies to coexist and share resources
\u2022 Highly secure network offering seamless and uninterrupted connectivity<\/p>
Scientists at the University of Sydney in Australia and the University of Surrey have achieved 5G speeds of 1 Tbps during a test, far exceeding the speed of existing LTE networks i.e. 50 Mbps.<\/p>
A leading telecom operator in India has partnered with the world's largest telecom operator China Mobile to work jointly on evolving technologies like 5G and procuring advanced telecom equipment. The telecom operators could see 5G as a game changer not only due to its superior data speed but because of other factors like very low power consumption leading to low capex, low latency rate, and 100% geographical coverage.<\/p>
The operators will not be required to abandon the legacy network entirely because of the backward compatibility with the existing technologies but there will be massive change in the base stations for better coverage and lower power consumption. According to China Mobile Research Institute, the Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN) proposed by 5G technology can lower 15% CAPEX as well as up to 50% OPEX in comparison to distributed BTS 3G network. It can also lower energy consumption by 71% compared to traditional RAN systems.<\/p>
Despite launch of 3G services in 2010, there is less than 10% penetration in India. However, the 3G adoption has picked up in 2013 and 2014 showing growth of 114% during that period. Like 3G, the case of 4G has also not been meaningful so far. It has been 4 years since operators won the spectrum for launching 4G services in India, but they haven\u2019t made much progress. Only few operators have managed to launch 4G services significantly in bigger cities. While many of the developed and developing countries have done 100% 4G rollout, India is lagging behind.<\/p>
Lack of technology ecosystem, relevant content and services, low cost 4G enabled handsets, delayed government processes like right of way and permissions, etc. are causing delay in the launch of 4G services and greater penetration of 3G. Some other challenges for operators are low ARPU, high investment, low tariff and a highly competitive market.<\/p>
The below chart shows that India is lagging behind the world in technology adoption and this may get aggravated if we do not leapfrog to future technologies.<\/p>

India is currently seeing the growth of 3G services and we are hopeful of the success of 4G services in the future.<\/p>
With this background, we can get too focussed on the short term and could develop a myopic vision. But can India afford to ignore 5G?<\/p>","blog_img":"retail_files\/thumb_blog_1439790742_temp.jpg","featured":0,"status":"Y","seo_title":"Indian telecom industry: Looking beyond 3G and 4G","seo_url":"indian-telecom-industry-looking-beyond-3g-and-4g","cms_link":"indian-telecom-industry-looking-beyond-3g-and-4g\/828","updated_at":"2015-08-17 11:22:22","time":"2015-08-17 11:22:22","authors":[{"author_name":"Hemant Joshi","author_description":"Partner, Deloitte India","author_designation":"Partner","author_company":"Deloitte India","profile_pic":"retail_files\/pic_author_1404798937_temp.jpg"}],"tags":[],"url_seo":"indian-telecom-industry-looking-beyond-3g-and-4g"}">

世界各地的电信行业比以往任何时候都更频繁地重新定义通信服务。技术是无线技术不断发展,手机技术,远程监控解决方案,基于云的解决方案和宽带。承诺的带宽新技术快速设定新的基准。每一个新技术优于前一个到100年甚至1000倍。
今年在巴塞罗那世界移动通信大会上,世界各国领导人的无线产业展示了他们的下一个大想法5克;预计将在2020年建成并投入使用。5 g技术可以带来一个范式转变的无线网络新功能:
•10 Gbps的更快的速度
•减少延迟1 milli-sec,快500倍比目前的LTE技术
•绿色和可持续的基础设施
•灵活性使不同的无线技术共存和共享资源
•高度安全的网络提供无缝的和不间断的连接
澳大利亚悉尼大学的科学家和萨里大学取得了5 g 1真沸点在测试的速度,远远超过现有的LTE网络的速度即50 Mbps。
主要电信运营商在印度与世界最大的电信运营商中国移动共同进化技术工作5 g和采购先进的电信设备。电信运营商可以看到5 g作为一个改变游戏规则不仅由于其优越的数据速度,因为非常低功耗等因素导致较低的资本支出,低延迟率,100%的地理覆盖范围。
运营商不需要放弃遗产网络完全向后兼容的现有技术,但将会有巨大变化在基站更好的覆盖范围和更低的能耗。根据中国移动研究院,集中式无线接入网络(C-RAN)提出的5 g技术可以降低15%的资本支出以及高达50%的运营成本相比,分布式BTS 3 g网络。它还可以降低能源消耗71%相比传统的运行系统。
尽管在2010年推出3 g服务,在印度有不到10%的普及率。然而,3 g采用了在2013年和2014年显示出在此期间增长114%。像3 g, 4 g的情况下也没有意义。它已经4年运营商获得了频谱在印度推出4 g服务,但他们却没有取得多大进展。只有少数运营商已经推出4 g服务明显在更大的城市。虽然许多发达国家和发展中国家的4 g推出已经完成100%,印度落后。
缺乏技术的生态系统,相关内容和服务,低成本的4 g手机,启用延迟政府处理方式的权利和权限,等导致延迟推出3 g的4 g服务和更大的渗透。其他一些挑战运营商ARPU低、高投资、低关税和高度竞争的市场。
下面的图表显示,印度是世界上在技术采用落后,这可能会加剧如果我们不跨越到未来的技术。
印度目前看到的3 g服务的发展和我们希望的成功在未来4 g服务。
此背景下,我们可以在短期内,可能太专注开发一个近视视力。但印度承担不起忽视5 g ?
