5Gi: Top UK, US trade bodies join the Indian 5G standard fight
- Tuesday | 10th August, 2021
Top Indo-US and Indo-UK trade bodies have joined the fight against India’s own 5G standard and opposed its mandatory adoption for the rollout of high-speed internet service in the country. Following the meeting, the DoT and India’s Telecommunications Engineering Center (TEC) extended the date of inviting public comments on the adoption of 5Gi. During the last all stakeholders’ meeting, Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel raised concerns about the local 5G standard, which it said must be harmonised with the 3GPP’s 5G standard to achieve scale and cost benefits. Both telcos told the officials that the 5Gi should not be made mandatory and be kept optional since it is not harmonised with global standards. Adopting global specifications for 5G technology is a foundational step toward demonstrating further cooperation on these issues,” the letter read.
