While speaking at the World Summit of Information Society (WSIS) 2022, organized by the UN body ITU in Geneva, the Minister of State for Telecommunications Devusinh Chauhan said that the government expects to roll out indigenously developed 5G technology by August this year.
IT major TCS and state-owned telecom research firm CDoT are engaged in developing 5G technology indigenously which is likely to be deployed on the BSNL network. Chauhan said the government is also launching a research and development fund for funding the development of telecom technology.
Chauhan said, “India has developed an indigenous 4G stack wherein 4G Core and Radio Access Networks (are) designed and tested in India. It helps the operators to choose any vendor, reduces the cost, and enables easier expansions. Indigenous 5G stack is also expected to be rolled out by August 2022.”
The minister also held bilateral discussions with Japan's Vice Minister Yuji Sasaki for Policy Coordination where they discussed mutual cooperation in several areas, including 5G and security of the network. Chauhan also held bilateral talks with Iran's Communications and Information Technology Minister Issa Zarepour.
