The term <\/span>5G<\/span><\/a> refers to the fifth generation of cellular data technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

5G technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which countries have launched 5G connections?<\/b><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nearly 200 countries have deployed 5G, with nations such as China, Japan, South <\/span>Korea and the US taking the lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to GSMA, the number of 5G connections globally is set to reach 1 billion in 2022. From about 6% of total connections in 2021, 5G will account for around 25% of total mobile connections in the world by the end of 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

How far is India behind in the 5G rollout?<\/b><\/h5>\n

India is set to conduct its first 5G spectrum auctions in the first half of 2022. <\/span>Indian carriers such as \u200aReliance Jio,\u200a Airtel and Vodafone Idea have conducted 5G trials\u200a with\u00a0<\/span>various vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Spectrum pricing as high as \u20b950,000 crore for pan-India 5G airwaves for a single operator has kept carriers away from bidding for the spectrum in previous auctions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Economic Impact of 5G Rollout<\/b>?\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

5G is expected\u200a to benefit mostly all sectors, especially the services and manufacturing sectors. Mobile operators are also expected to invest more than $600 billion worldwide between 2022 and 2025 in capital expenditure, of which 85% will be in 5G networks. Hence, this will boost job creation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
