KEY POINTS
· 5G would be the advanced technology providing at least five to six times multiples of the 4G bandwidth, some 100 mb/s at the very minimum.
· Even technologically advanced countries like Israel are refusing to implement 5G on account of a host of unknowns — not least of which are the potential health hazards of tens of thousands of radiating base stations.
Challenges
· One of the major challenges is standardising an approach and bringing all of the major technology partners on board.
· However, over 31 per cent of Indian businesses do not even have a roadmap for a digital strategy according to the same KPMG report. Then, there are the pricing issues in the mass market.
· The case of 4G substantiates this clearly. There was an explosion in data usage after Jio launched free introductory offers.
· 5G smartphone models are likely to cost much more than the most advanced 4G devices currently available — with enhanced features, additional cameras and sensors to support AR and VR applications.
