NEW DELHI, Mar 27: India wants to take a lead position in adopting 5G technology and will prepare the roadmap for it by June, Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan said today.
She called upon industry, academia and startups to do their bit to help India become a “frontrunner” in the 5th-generation wireless system which enables higher speed mobile broadband, mission-critical services and massive Internet of Things (IoT) deployment.
Terming 5G as important for India’s massive “digitisation and digitalisation” efforts, Sundararajan said it would enable the country to overcome several decades of infrastructure-related challenges. “A high-level forum on 5G which includes global experts, industry experts, IITs, IISc, has already commenced work and done a fair amount of deliberation. By June, India will have full roadmap ready on this,” she said. (PTI)
