NEW DELHI: Minister of IT and Telecommunications Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday visited the 5G test bed at IIT Madras and successfully tested 5G calling on a natively developed network.
The Prime Minister has inaugurated the test bed Narendra Modi on Tuesday.
“This is the first step towards making the solution commercially viable. Over the next few months, the Made-in-India solution has the potential to grow from local to global. It also meets India’s safety and indigenous needs,” said the minister.
At a time when cybersecurity concerns are at the peak, India has been developing a local 5G network solution that it promises will be more cost-effective as well as productive.
Vaishnaw has said that the government will deploy the solution, when it is ready for commercialization, on the state-owned BSNL network, and then it will also be introduced to other private operators. . “We are confident that a more efficient solution that is also cost-effective will appeal to companies not only in India, but also those abroad. We feel that the India-made 5G stack will have huge export potential.”
For BSNL, the 4G and 5G stacks are being developed by a consortium with C-Dot working on the core, while Tata group joins with TCS and Tejas. The government will implement this solution to upgrade BSNL to 4G and then 5G.
