5G Use Cases to Differ from Country to Country

Further, in his address, he also highlighted that since 5G would have varied stakeholding, the licensing regime would also need to be widened. Most discussions during the workshop revolved around how the 5G use cases would be different for different countries depending on the economy, development and more factors. The people present at the workshop also emphasised that rollout of 5G would require a more harmonised spectrum and moving to higher frequency bands to enhance capacity, which would also become a prerequisite. The discussions also brought to surface another fact that the backhaul should also be ready to handle the kind of data volume which would come with 5G in India. Currently, Microwave and Fibre are providing backhaul solutions for 5G services. It is also critical that E-band be opened up in the country at the earliest.
