Breaking Jio announces 5G Beta trial program with unlimited 5G in select cities

[TheAndroidFreak]

Band 3 has a total bandwidth of 75 MHz of which 55 MHz is for telecom and 20 MHz for defence in most circles. But lately the MoD has started to release 10 to 15 MHz from its 20 MHz and giving it to DoT for commercial telecom deployment. If this trend continues to a Pan India scale then Jio will easily get 20 MHz in band 3 in all circles.

But its done in few circles only right? I think, every circle will take time like five or more years, as few unliberised spectrum will get put into auction since 2024 from Vi+Airtel. Till that time, it makes no sense. Every spectrum should be moved from 4G to 5G by 2026(atleast from Jio). Fiber will be everywhere and Jio inhouse development will be at peak for 6G as well. So it doesn't make sense for spectrum to be available at that time. Till now RCom-Aircel resolution is not done yet. Band 1/3 spectrum is restricted because of it. Expecting whatever you said is almost impossible in next three years. It's better to release new band spectrum near to band 3. 1000Mhz-1800Mhz. It should be available in bulk so that Jio will buy it in first place itself. Few years back it was fragmented and hence harmonisation and all that stuff came into picture. I am hundred percent sure that Maharashtra band 3 spectrum deployment issue is due to the same reason. Also, instead of C-band, DoT makes availability of band 41 spectrum(which you mentioned) which will be beneficial for Vi's survival. Otherwise its death in one year is confirm.

There are many on Twitter who have received 5G Welcome offer. They are posting speedtests from iPhone 12 and up.

Looks like N78 doesn't transmit through walls. I wonder what will happen with mmWave. They are planning to Launch FWA with it. Still long way to go in 5G blanket coverage despite 5000 sites per week.



You have Moto G series right?
