2. Context:5G Spectrum Auction advantages of 5G  Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved the auction of airwaves capable of offering fifth generation, or 5G, telecom services, including ultra-high-speed Internet. The Union Cabinet gave its nod for setting up captive 5G networks by big tech firms. The auction of over 72 GHz of the spectrum will be held by 2022 July-end.
   

   5G Spectrum Auction advantages of 5G

• Devices such as cell phones and wireline telephones require signals to connect from one end to another.
• These signals are carried on airwaves, which must be sent at designated frequencies to avoid any kind of interference.
• The Union government owns all the publicly available assets within the geographical boundaries of the country, which also include airwaves.
• With the expansion in the number of cell phone, wireline telephone and internet users, the need to provide more space for the signals arises from time to time.
• To sell these assets to companies willing to set up the required infrastructure to transport these waves from one end to another, the central government through the DoT auctions these airwaves from time to time.
• These airwaves are called spectrum, which is subdivided into bands which have varying frequencies.
• All these airwaves are sold for a certain period of time, after which their validity lapses, which is generally set at 20 years.

About 5G Technology:

• It is the latest upgrade in the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile broadband networks with reduced latency than 4G.
• 5G technology offers an extremely low latency rate, the delay between the sending and receiving information.
• From 200 milliseconds for 4G, 5G brings it down to 1 millisecond(1ms).
• It works in three bands of the spectrum with their respective pros and cons.

5G Spectrum Auction

1. Low Band Spectrum

• It shows great promise in terms of coverage and speed of internet and data exchange with a maximum speed limited to 100 Mbps (Megabits per second).
• Telcos can use and install it for commercial cell phone users who may not have specific demands for very high-speed internet.
• It may not be optimal for the specialised needs of the industry.

2. 5G Spectrum Auction advantages of 5G

   Mid-Band Spectrum

• It offers higher speeds compared to the low band but has limitations in terms of coverage area and penetration of signals.
• It may be used by industries and specialised factory units for building captive networks that can be moulded into the needs of that particular industry.

   High-Band Spectuem                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  It offers the highest speed of all three bands but has extremely limited coverage and signal penetration strength.

• Internet speeds have been tested to be as high as 20 Gbps (gigabits per second).
• Importance: Operators will use a combination of different spectrum bands to deliver 5G services, and it will play a critical role in determining the speed and range of coverage.

Benefits of 5G

• It will enable the development, testing, and proliferation of 5G technology system components, cross-sectoral use cases, besides setting up the foundation for the development of the “6G Technology landscape” in the country.
• The users will be able to stream videos with multiple camera angles during sports matches or even play immersive video games using VR headsets or other accessories.
• It will also enable a mesh of connected Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices and services with zero-fail rate, as in the case of connected cars.

5G Spectrum Auction advantages of 5G Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)   ·        History: The entry of private service providers brought with it the inevitable need for independent regulation. TRAI was, thus, established with effect from 20th February 1997 by an Act of Parliament, called the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act, 1997. It was made to regulate telecom services, including fixation/revision of tariffs for telecom services which were earlier vested in the Central Government. ·        TRAI’s mission is to create and nurture conditions for growth of telecommunications in the country in a manner and at a pace which will enable India to play a leading role in emerging global information society. ·        One of the main objectives of TRAI is to provide a fair and transparent policy environment which promotes a level playing field and facilitates fair competition. ·        In pursuance of above objective TRAI has issued from time to time a large number of regulations, orders, and directives to deal with issues coming before it and provided the required direction to the evolution of Indian telecom market from a government owned monopoly to a multi operator multi service open competitive market. v The directions, orders and regulations issued cover a wide range of subjects including tariff, interconnection, and quality of service as well as governance of the Authority. ·        The TRAI Act was amended by an ordinance, effective from 24th January 2000, establishing a Telecommunications Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) to take over the adjudicatory and disputes functions from TRAI. ·        TDSAT was set up to adjudicate any dispute between a licensor and a licensee, between two or more service providers, between a service provider and a group of consumers, and to hear and dispose of appeals against any direction, decision, or order of TRAI. · 5G Spectrum Auction advantages of 5G Penalties: The penalties for the offences that come under the jurisdiction of TDSAT, are the same as those of TRAI.

Other Benefits

• Healthcare: Healthcare providers can create sensor networks to track patients and share information faster than ever before.
• Public Safety: A vast network and rapid response times mean that public works can respond to incidents and emergencies in seconds rather than minutes, and municipalities can react fast and with reduced costs.
• Autonomous Vehicles: 5G will allow vehicles to communicate between them and with infrastructure on the road, improving safety and alerting drivers to travel conditions and performance information.                                                                                                                                                                                                  SEE HER
