A step closer to better 5G connectivity

Last week, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India gave its go-ahead to the auction of new 5G spectrum in the 37-40 GHz band. Once the telcos get this spectrum, better high-speed connectivity in densely populated urban areas can be expected, explains Jatin Grover

What has the Trai proposed?

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has cleared the way for the auction of Rs 17,940-crore worth 5G spectrum in the 37-40 GHz band in all the 22 telecom circles. The band, which is in millimeter wave, is crucial for capacity additions by telecom operators and is ideal for high-density areas where high-speed connectivity is required.
