NEW YORK, 23rd May. GSMA report said on Wednesday that the widespread availability of spectrum for 5G is likely to contribute about $27 billion to India’s gross domestic product by 2030.
The organization represents mobile networks worldwide, said the upper 6 GHz band must also be part of the spectrum roadmap of the country.
According to Luciana Camargos, Head of Spectrum for the GSMA, India’s 5G momentum has gained global attention and respect.
“For it to continue, and for the full realisation of the Indian government’s digital ambitions, a clear roadmap to deliver spectrum for growing mobile demand is needed,” Camargos said in a statement.
“The upper 6 GHz band must be part of that roadmap and bringing it into commercial use will require close collaboration between government and the mobile industry.”
India is the fastest-growing markets for 5G globally. The 5G users in the country are using 3.6 times mobile data traffic compared to 4G since its launch in October 2022 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to the ‘Nokia Mobile Broadband Index’ report the 5G device ecosystem in India is rapidly evolving, with 17 per cent of active 4G devices, totaling 134 million out of 796 million, being 5G capable.
The launch of 5G has emerged as a significant catalyst for the growth in data usage.
