DoT’s demand survey for private 5G networks finds few takers

New Delhi: The government’s renewed push to allocate spectrum directly for private 5G networks has turned out to be a damp squib with just a few enterprises showing interest, people aware of the details told ET.

A demand study conducted by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to understand the spectrum requirement for direct allocation attracted only a few applications, including incomplete ones that didn’t have the requisite details, they said.
