Introduction
It has been quite a long journey of exploring new fields and building the foundations, in that accord, India has seen a big shift in its infrastructure in the last decade. Not only has the visible infrastructure been Improved, but there has also been spur progress in the Invisible Infrastructure.
Especially amidst the pandemic, the digital, IoT and telecom industry has seen drastic growth to put evidence on the table, one can analyze and interpret the Ericsson Mobility Report, which has stated the increase in the development of mobile spectrums.
Due to advancements in technology, telecom industries have adopted strong update policies to stand out and provide the latest service to customers. One such progression can be seen in strong network connections and continuous advancing mobile spectrums.
Mobile Spectrums in India – The Journey to 5G
The range of radio waves that are used for communication purposes is known as Spectrum. This includes the FM or AM radio broadcasts. Spectrum has a frequency which means it has the number of repetitions of the wave you see in a second.
The high-frequency waves cause more energy to travel and cover large amounts of information. On the other hand, the low-frequency waves need less energy but are slow and carry less information. All the waves pass through everything and thus needs to be regulated.
Therefore, the government divides the Spectrum into Bands for less traffic and no interference. The Spectrum is categorized into two different types of technology, the AM and FM channels spread around 100 MHz-200 MHz.
The telecom starts from 800 MHz to 2300 MHz. Beyond these waves, the company has to get a license. There are commonly used band in the telecom industry, such as 800MHz, 1500MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz, and 2300 MHz.
These figures are known to be the generation of the technology used for communication. The oldest of these is 2G, and the advancement has resulted in 5G technology.
These technologies have been developed to benefit different bands because of different categories. Still, the usage varies according to the modem operating in your devices, such as GSM 900, GSM 1800 for 2G capabilities, UMTS 900, UMTS 2100, and 3G capabilities, LTE 850 to LTE 2500 for 4G and 5G capabilities.
The mobile phone communications standard has come up with its fifth- range known as 5G technology. It is a descendant to 4G and turns out to be faster than previous generations while opening up new use’s cases for mobile data.
This innovative and new broadband technology gives great benefits from faster speeds (up to 10x faster), much lower latency (up to 50x Lower) and greater capacity allowing many more devices to be connected simultaneously.
People switching to 5G
A dramatic change in the usage of fifth-generation technology has been noticed amongst Indians. The reasons can be an increase in the use of the Internet, digital classes, longer and better connectivity promises by the network providers, etc.
But the most promising rationale is 5G wireless technology, ultimately leading to ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability and a more consistent user experience to more users.
Ericsson’s Latest Report- By 2027, India will have 500 million users
The report stated that the next generation is the 5G generation, which will dominate other prevalent Bands and technologies in the market. There has been a noticeable switching, resulting in subscriptions of all mobiles worldwide, covering 75 percent of the world’s population and carrying 62 percent of the global smartphone traffic by 2027.
According to the report, the big telecom companies such as Reliance and VI carried out 5G trials where it demonstrated improved broadband use cases with 5G.
Thus, the era is changing, and broadband technologies keep people connected in faster and enhanced ways. The report stated that by the end of 2021, there would be two billion people all over the world. And by 2027, India will have 500 million users.
