Govt yet to take call on China’s entry into 5G; penetration in existing network extensive: Ajay Kumar Bhalla

Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Friday said the government has not taken any call on allowing Chinese telecom companies to enter into the 5G trials in India but acknowledged that the penetration of the neighbouring country into the existing network is too extensive.

Bhalla, however, also made it clear that the government is making special safeguards to ensure safety and security of the country’s communication network.
