Spectrum allocation for 5G trial network likely in June

New Delhi: In a pre-service rollout exercise for telcos, spectrum allocation for 5G trial and subsequent field experiments can take place June onwards, official sources said on Wednesday.

The panel constituted for such an exercise would soon begin deliberations on the quantum of spectrum, the time period and venue to hold the 5G trial, live demonstrations on speed and latency of 5G among others, sources added.

By the time the telcos start the trial, it may be July-August, they said.
