5G in India: The journey is about to begin

2021 brought positive news for India, not just about the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, but also about the developments in the 5G front that are likely to set the 5G wheel in motion. DoT recently announced that 5G trials are likely to begin in the next two to three months and trial schedule will be announced soon. Nokia is fully geared up for the upcoming 5G trials.

We can expect some limited 5G rollouts to start toward the end of 2021 or early 2022, with pending spectrum allocation. 5G is critical to India’s digital transformation thrust. It has already been commercially deployed by over 140 networks in more than 60 countries.
