Generations: 1G2G3G,4,5G

1G: only call, Argent calls

2G: Call + SMS, TSPO internet (10-15KBPS)

3G,4,5: Taltsms internet, data call, 4G is slow internet

ISSUES (low reliability, high costs, slow speed)

5G is the breakthrough

1Ultraflo latency (5ms) → Faster communicating [real time] EXPECT affects (self-driving cars, IoT)

2Metworking - allows multiple stand alone networks ⇒ reduces cost of chain, business and improves quality of life.

3High frequency and double capacity (up bandwidth)

4Very high speed: up to 40 GBPS (6 method loitering of 4G)

Significance: real time application (Zoom), Governance (automatic toll collection), Self-driving car, online examinations

However there are certain[challenges]

1Multiple mobile towers required to form a stable network due to high frequency and low wavelength ⇒ cost of Capey coil route

2High cost of rollout as 4G is not too old (costs of 4G not reaped) ⇒ reduced interest in spectrum allot

3Frequency interference with aircraft and other channels

4Digital divide in India (<650 millions use cable internet, TRAI April 2024) - Competition promoting telecom display ⇒ required at BSNL

(a) Subsidizing the customers

(b) development of indigenous equipment (UPIPC) (PLI > 6000, Umbit subsidiary actors) (ES 26.2.3)

5G is the mean of digitized reality, admittedly India and developed India.
