3GPP PARTNERS

IMT 2020 (5G) Key Capabilities

5G Schedule- Global

5G will Disrupt Telecom Industry

• 5G is disrupting the telecom ecosystem

– Cloud architecture and open hardware break legacy hold

– Growing emphasis on virtualization and network programmability–

software becoming more important

– New players with innovative products can disrupt

• Opportunities for new players to emerge from India for 5G eco-system

– India is contributing in 5G standards for emerging market needs

– Strong Government support to develop 5G eco-system

– 5G plays to India’s strengths in software, fabless design

• The 5G Developmental Use Cases to put Digital Communications as the central

tool for socio-economic development of the country

• Targets at creating an ubiquitous optical fibre and towers infrastructure that

will provide a strong foundation for enabling 5G services in the country

• Enhancing India’s contribution in the Global value chains

• Position India as a leader in 5G standards and technology creation

• Thriving innovation and startup ecosystem in India • Unique confluence of entrepreneurship, access to capital, experienced

mentors and a young, dynamic and talented workforce

• Silicon design is moving to India; largest design base outside US • 2,000 chips being designed every year for global MNCs

• Early signs of IPR/R&D-driven startups achieving global success

• Forward-looking policies and proactive government • JAM Trinity: 1bn Bank Accounts (Jan Dhan) + 1bn Aadhaar + 1bn Mobile

Broadband Users

• High-speed broadband reaching every Indian via BharatNet project

• India’s turn to take the innovation lead in 5G • China did it in 3G, South Korea in 4G

• 5G opens up new vistas for innovation in areas such as IoT and Enhanced Rural Mobile Broadband where India can play a significant role

Time for India to Step Up

Impact on India’s Economy

• Consequent multiplier effect expected to be much more and will act as a transformational force for the society at a broader level

• Will enable to leapfrog traditional barriers to physical infrastructure, to bridge the digital and economic divide, especially for rural and underserved clusters

• Harnessing 5G and associated technologies will catalyse the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), as envisioned in National Digital Communications Policy 2018, unleashing new economic opportunities and societal benefits, to propel India to a global economic powerhouse

Economic impact of 5G is expected to be over USD 1 Trillion

Technological Trials • Involve Indian players, Startups, States • Government to facilitate spectrum and other support measures

Action Being Taken on 5G by DoT • Release different types of spectrum bands for 5G as soon as

practicable

• Making innovation and trial licences available to enable 5G trials

• Use these licences to test innovative 5G applications using high frequency spectrum, in particular 26 GHz, the 5G millimeter wave pioneer band

• Work with Central, State Government and local bodies to ensure site access and planning are not a barrier to the deployment

• Ensure there are a range of solutions available for 5G sites to connect to core telecoms networks

• Act as a facilitator, working across different sectors to encourage them to work together

• Work with other countries to further understand the potential applications of 5G, and how they might work in practice in India

Invitation to Collaborate

• Indian Government is determined to promote 5G deployment and use pervasively, early and efficiently

• 5G applications are very early in their development, India is keen to be a global innovator particularly in areas relevant to developing economies

• India is looking for a win-win partnerships between global technology providers and Indian TSPs. Tech Industry, R&D Labs, Academia to make 5G a success in India and around the world

• Start-up promotion in emerging digital technologies and services

• Collaboration at international Standard Development Organizations –ITU,3GPP, OneM2M
