COAI urges government to free up entire 6 GHz to enhance 5G services

Subject : Science and technology

Section: Awareness in IT  and computers

Context:

  • Opening the complete 6 GHz band for international mobile telecommunications (IMT) for 5G communications can help improve the quality of coverage, enhancing the experience of users, said Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI).

Details:

  • 6 GHz band can enable better spectrum efficiency and allows the broadband service providers to provide more service to customers while reducing their operating costs.
    The insufficient spectrum in mid-bands will imply extreme densification to meet mobile broadband demand.
  • Extreme densification imposes unsustainably high costs (ultimately borne by users), increased carbon footprint, and may not even be feasible due to interference or site availability challenges.
  • Reasons for their demand includes:
    • Mobile data is a key source of internet access in India. So, WiFi is not required much for Indian population.
    • The wireline broadband penetration is only 3 per cent of the subscriptions.
    • For satellite communications also, the industry is recommending promotion of the use of Ku (12 GHz to 18 Ghz)/ Ka (26.5 GHz to 40 GHz) and other higher frequency band.
    • 6 GHz band is crucial for enhancing the performance of 5G networks, enabling higher data speeds, increased capacity, and improved connectivity.

International Mobile Telecommunications- Advanced (ITM-A):

  • International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-Advanced Standard) are the requirements (standerds) issued by the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2008 for what is marketed as 4G mobile phone and Internet access service.
  • International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-Advanced) systems are mobile systems that include the new capabilities of IMT that go beyond those of IMT-2000.
    • Such systems provide access to a wide range of telecommunication services including advanced mobile services, supported by mobile and fixed networks, which are increasingly packet-based.
    • IMT-Advanced systems support low to high mobility applications and a wide range of data rates in accordance with user and service demands in multiple user environments.
    • IMT Advanced also has capabilities for high quality multimedia applications within a wide range of services and platforms, providing a significant improvement in performance and quality of service.

The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI):

  • Founder in 1995.
  • The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) is an Indian non-governmental trade association and advocacy group focused mainly on telecommunications industry.
  • COAI was constituted in 1995 as a registered, non-governmental society.
  • As of 2017, COAI has been (jointly) organizing the India Mobile Congress with the Department of Telecommunications, Government of India.
  • Headquarters: New Delhi
