To achieve the leadership position in the field of telecommunications, 5Gi connection in rural areas of Himachal Pradesh will not only ensure the large at lower cost but also reduce power consumption and the electronic waste that will be generated.
In a press released, DK Sharma Member, National Security Advisory Board revealed that India has a very large customer base and once 5Gi is introduced, India will slowly move towards achieving global leadership.
The 5Gi is a strict superset of 5G, meaning, if a device works in a 5G environment then it will definitely work in a 5G environment. The Indian Industry and Academia have developed an indigenous standard, named 5Gi (5G-India), that will enable larger mobile coverage than the current global 5G standard”. Overall coordination for the development of 5Gi has been done by Prof. V. Kamakoti of IIT , Madras and Member of National Security Advisory Board.
He said” once 5Gi is successfully deployed in India, there is a very good chance that it gets deployed elsewhere in the World leading it to become a global standard”. This is once-in-century opportunity for India to have its own standard globalized and become a global leader in one of the vital technology, Sharma added.
DK Sharma at present is a Member of National Security Advisory Board and hails from Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh. Sharma has been associated with the water and power sector for about 40 years.
