The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on Tuesday met telecom
operators and equipment vendors to discuss the roadmap for the upcoming
5G trials.
The trials are likely to start in next month, sources said.
The
hour-long meeting chaired by the Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash, was
also attended by Chinese technology major Huawei which has also been
permitted to take part in the trials.
Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had on Monday said that the government would give 5G spectrum to all market players.
The
Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will provide trial spectrum to
all telecom service providers. These operators can choose their partner
vendors such as Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and Huawei. The in-principle
nod for the trial run, however, does not assure an approval for
commercial roll out.
Earlier in the month, the DoT approved
prices for the next spectrum auction which will put on offer around 6050
MHz of air waves specifically for 5G.
The Digital Communication
Commission (DCC), the highest policy making body of the Telecom
Ministry, on December 20 approved the spectrum auctions to be held in
March-April while making no change in the reserve pricing of the
radiowaves decided by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
The auction will see 5G spectrum sale for the first time.
