Jio, Airtel, Vodafone-Idea 5G services to launch tomorrow
India is going to launch 5G services in four metro cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata – tomorrow October 1. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the launching of the 5G service at 10 AM in New Delhi. The three major telecom operators – Airtel, Vodafone-Idea, and Reliance Jio – of the country will demonstrate one use case each in front of the Prime Minister to show the potential of 5G technology in India.
Reliance Jio will connect a teacher from a school in Mumbai with students in three different locations in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Odisha. This will demonstrate how 5G will facilitate education by bringing teachers closer to students, obliviating the physical distance between them. It will demonstrate the power of Augmented Reality (AR) on screen and how that is being used to teach children across the country, remotely, without the need for an AR device.
In the Airtel demo, a girl from Uttar Pradesh will witness a lively and immersive education experience to learn about the solar system with the help of Virtual reality and Augmented reality. The girl will share her experience of learning with the PM by appearing on the dias through a hologram.
The Vodafone Idea test case will demonstrate the safety of workers in an under-construction tunnel of Delhi Metro through the creation of a digital twin of the tunnel on the dias. The digital twin will help give safety alerts to workers in real time from a remote location. PM will take a live demo from the dias to monitor the work in real-time through utilizing VR and Artificial Intelligence.
The government has earned more than Rs.1.5 lakh crore from the 5G auction, with Mukesh Ambani’s Jio cornering nearly half of all the airwaves sold with an Rs.88,078 crore bid. Telecom tycoon Sunil Bharti Mittal’s Bharti Airtel made a successful bid of Rs.43,084 crore, while Vodafone Idea Ltd bought spectrum for Rs.18,799 crore. Gautam Adani’s group, whose entry in the auction was billed by some as another flashpoint in the rivalry with Ambani, paid Rs.212 crore for 400 MHz. Adani group bought spectrum in the 26 GHz band, which is suitable for setting up a private network for end-to-end communication.[1]
Modi will visit an exhibition and will witness the demonstration of the use of 5G technology in multiple areas. The various use cases that will be demonstrated in front of PM in the exhibition include precision drone-based farming; High-Security Routers & AI based Cyber Threat Detection platforms; Automated Guided Vehicles; Ambupod – Smart Ambulance; Augmented Reality/ Virtual Reality/ Mix Reality in Education and Skill Development; Sewage Monitoring System; Smart-Agri Programme; Health diagnostics, among others.
5G technology will offer a wide range of benefits to the common people. It will help in providing seamless coverage, high data rate, low latency, and highly reliable communications. Also, It will increase energy efficiency, spectrum efficiency, and network efficiency. 5G technology will help in connecting billions of Internet of Things devices, will allow higher quality video services with mobility at high speed, and deliver critical services such as telesurgery and autonomous cars among others. 5G will help in real-time monitoring of disasters, and precision agriculture, minimizing the role of humans in dangerous industrial operations such as in deep mines, offshore activities, etc. Unlike existing mobile communication networks, 5G networks will allow tailoring of requirements for each of these different use cases within the same network.
