52% of enterprises in India want to start using 5G in next 12 months: Omdia-Ericsson study

NEW DELHI: Enterprises in India seem to be upbeat about the prospects of 5G technology, with 52% of them saying they want to start using fifth-generation services in 2022 or 2023 while 31% expect to use 5G in 2024, according to a joint whitepaper by Omdia and Ericsson released Tuesday.

“Importantly, 5G adoption in India will be far more diverse than that of 4G, given the wide range of consumer and enterprise use cases that 5G supports,” as per the joint findings.

This is even as a decision by the Union Cabinet on direct spectrum allotment to enterprises for setting up their 5G private captive wireless private networks (CPWNs) has become a flash point between Indian telecom operators and technology companies.

Private 5G networks: Telcos' demand for level playing field absurd and impractical, say tech companies

BIF said that the suggestion that private networks should not be given spectrum in bands which are possible for telcos to use for offering services is also unjustified, as the telcos’ businesses depend on economies of scale, while that of enterprise businesses having private networks does not. The spectrum that is earmarked for private networks needs to be exclusive and distinct from those bands for Public 5G, to avoid needless possibilities of interference between the two networks.
