Panel’s views on 5G trial under DoT consideration

NEW DELHI: The government is currently examining the recommendations on the fifth-generation or 5G technology trials in the country, in addition to the committee views for the next auction which would be tabled before the Digital Communication Commission (DCC), a top official told ET.

“The 5G committee has submitted its recommendations to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on what should be the quantum, duration, and price of the spectrum for trial,” the official who did not want to be quoted for the story said.

Early this week, a group headed by IIT Kanpur Director professor Abhay Karandikar submitted its views on kickstarting the 5G-based field trials in India.
