Spectrum Sharing to Allow Smooth Rollout of 5G in India

The fifth-generation network technology or better known as the 5G networks are expected to start rolling out in the year 2020. However, the telcos and governments in developed countries are taking leaps in terms of technology and are racing ahead to prepare for the upcoming 5G rollouts. The 5G networks are expected to deliver a peak speed of as much as 20Gbps, and they will also power the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, with nations like China, Japan, US and South Korea leading the band of countries rolling out 5G, there is going to be a significant emphasis on spectrum sharing.

Superimposing 5G Waves on 4G Networks for Easy Rollouts

The spectrum sharing will be one of the key elements in driving the 5G revolutions in these countries as it is a method of superimposing the 5G carrier waves on top of the existing LTE or 4G spectrum. This technology is extremely crucial for a nation like India, which is currently basing its growth in telecom on the 4G networks and is expected to pivot to 5G network in the coming two or three years. Further, Hammerwall also illustrated that the spectrum sharing could dynamically allocate spectrum to users based on their requirements. In case a 4G and 5G user connects to a network at the same time, both will be allocated the right spectrum. It was also noted by Hammerwall, that Ericsson’s technology works across all bands of LTE, which the company thinks are “most relevant”.
