The government is planning to set up 100 labs for 5G technology across India. Telecom minister Ashwani Vaishnaw also requested and invited the telecom industry to come together and convert at least 12 of these 100 labs into telecom incubators to train students and do experiments.
The minister said, “The government is working significantly towards simplifying the licensing regime for all telecom players. I am really happy to see the energy of startups and MSMEs, who are going to rural areas to benefit people.”
Earlier last month, the minister suggested that a 5G use-case lab be set up at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) while visiting the institute. He had even asked IIT-GN to prepare a proposal and offered to develop a 5G use case laboratory and a semiconductor laboratory at the Institute.
The telecommunication minister also noted that India will take a lead in 6G. 6G is the sixth-generation mobile system standard currently under development for wireless communications technologies supporting cellular data networks.
