For SA they need more spectrum on B1 B3.

 

[RummaanKhan]

Don't need that for FWA. Chennai SA network for Airfiber is N78 only

As usual, they are unusually hopeless, worthless, useless and don;t know what they are doing. Only NSA needs more Band 1/3 as anchor bands. But for Vo5G / VoNR of SA 5G, it is different (indoor coverage for calls). But even then, 10MHz of N3 is enough (SubGHz preferred while traveling, but NOT must).

Nope. They don't need it.

Airtel have to invest in 10Mhz in 600Mhz in upcoming auction for moving to SA. There is no other way.

Band 1/3 4G era is gone. Jio doesn't use band 1. Total of 40Mhz. Band 1 10Mhz is alloted to BSNL. So make it 15Mhz wherever possible. Band 3 is 70Mhz. BSNL doesn't use that. So make it 20Mhz or more wherever possible. Deploy 4*4MIMO on both bands and shift band 40 contiguous one block to SA as soon as possible.

Yeah

 

[TheCapedCrusader]

Airtel needs to invest money for fiber backhaul to carter the 5G data demand. Despite having good amount of spectrum in B1/3/8/40 experience is average without high capacity backhaul. They have very limited sites with fiber backhaul. While Jio has fiber for almost all sites.

What is purpose of SA 5g for mobile phone for FWA I can understand but I don't find any use case where we need very low latency. Speed of NSA and SA is almost same
