It works on a Low Mobility Large Cell method which transmits a cell-based waveform which results in increased range.<\/span><\/p>\n Significance for India<\/b>: If implemented in the right manner, the 5Gi technology can be beneficial for a country like India as the large scale implications will make the technology cost-effective. Additionally, owing to its high range, 5Gi will be able to provide better network connectivity in the rural area of the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Source: <\/b>The post is based on the article <\/span>\u201cPM inaugurates country\u2019s first 5G testbed\u201d <\/b>published in<\/span> The Hindu <\/b>on 19th May 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the News?
