5G spectrum trials will commence soon in Manipur: Chief Secretary Rajesh Kumar

5G technology or fifth-generation spectrum trials will commence soon in Manipur nearly 50 days after approval given to telecom service providers (TSPs) by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), covering rural, semi-urban and urban areas in India.

“5G spectrum trials will begin soon in Manipur,” said the state chief secretary Rajesh Kumar. The official was addressing the programme on ‘Manipur: The Land of Emerging Opportunities’ on Tuesday.

“Internet connectivity in Manipur is wonderful. We want to make Manipur an Information Technology hub to look after business from neighbouring countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and others,” the official highlighted.
