The 5G steering committee chaired by Stanford University’s Professor Emeritus AJ Paulraj submitted its recommendations to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
The committee was set up by Government in September 2017 to suggest a roadmap for the adoption of 5G.
Its aim was to push participation in the process of defining global standards for the next generation of wireless technology.
It expects the commercial rollout of 5G in India by 2020. It expects that economic impact of 5G to be over $1 trillion.
It recommended that the deployment of 5G in India should be classified into three phases based on technologies and use cases.
