India's indigenous 4G mobile network ready to be rolled out soon

While addressing the Lok Sabha, Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the Indian engineers have prepared the country’s indigenous 4G mobile network in the shortest possible time which is ready to launch very soon and the 5G network will be ready by the end of 2022.

While replying to a question, he said, “The rollout of 5G mobile services is likely during year 2022-23 by Telecom Service Providers (TSPs). The investment for rolling out of 5G services by the TSPs depend on their techno-commercial considerations.”

The minister said the 5G network is built on the 4G and the work is going on to build the 5G. “The whole world is looking at us with surprise how India has built its 4G network so soon. The scientists have predicted that our 5G network will be ready by the end of this year,” he added.

Vaishnaw also said that nine schemes have been taken by the government to improve mobile telecom networks that include construction of over 9,000 towers in aspirational districts and Northeastern region, as a supplementary on the poor connectivity in many areas of the country
