Indian telcos demand “optimum availability” of 5G spectrum
- Wednesday | 30th September, 2020
India’s telecom operators have asked the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to ensure “optimum availability” of 5G spectrum in the 3300-3600 MHz mid-band, fearing that ongoing issues with the country’s space organization over the spectrum will impact the country’s 5G rollout plans. Kochhar said that a 5G operator is assigned a contiguous block of 100 MHz of spectrum in the mid-band globally. He added that Indian telcos can make themselves “ready for 5G” once the government ensures availability of 80MHz spectrum per telco. Last week, India’s Department of Space (DoS) and ISRO objected to any spectrum allocation in the 26-GHz millimeter wave band for 5G services. The Indian government has already deferred its 5G spectrum auction to sometime next year due to these spectrum issues.
