The DoT had hoped to auction off 5G spectrum next month, but last week it decided to delay the auction to August for an all-too-familiar reason: its spectrum prices are so high that India’s operators – who are all running on razor-thin margins in a hypercompetitive market – can’t afford it. In any case, we’ll find out sooner or later once Jio launches its 5G network. You don’t want to buy equipment from, which would not be cheap.
Jio 5g technology license#
It was, you’d have to license the necessary technology from the very vendors Technology you can slap together in your basement in a few months, and even if
Jio 5g technology software#
This past January – that it was going to not only deploy its own 5G hardwareĪnd software but also sell it to other operators, a number of analystsĮxpressed doubt. When Vietnamese operator Viettel announced last year – and again The other thing about 5G equipment – especially when it comes toĪntennas and radios – is that it’s highly specialized and sophisticated technology. Airspan, Cisco, Intel, Mavenir and Qualcomm are also listed Will build the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna components Rakuten owns) and Nokia are reportedly supplying the 4G antennas, while NEC Of vendors for equipment, software, and services. On the other hand, Rakuten Mobile didn’t skip vendors in favour of Necessary hardware that can be manufactured by third parties.) (As for the hardware, the ET report claims Jio has designed the Which case it arguably has the software skills to skip the 5G vendors and take So it’s possible this is what Jio more or less has in mind – in
Jio 5g technology upgrade#
This month, Rakuten Mobile announced it had successfully deployed aįully virtualized, cloud native, open RAN (albeit six months behind schedule),Īnd will use it to launch 4G services in April, and will upgrade it to 5G in Greenfield cloud-native mobile network –claims to have already done it. While Open RAN is believed to still be at least a year or two awayįrom commercial reality, Japan’s Rakuten Mobile – which, like Jio, is a Thus enabling open multi-vendor RAN environments. Would simply force them to shift their business model from hardware to software, This wouldn’t cut existing 5G vendors out of the picture – it The basic idea is to turn base stations into white boxes runningĬustom software.
There are several industry groups working on this ‘Open RAN’Ĭoncept, including Facebook’s Telecom Infra ProjectĪctivities). Open-source 5G software running on commodity hardware. Point operators will ditch pricey proprietary vendor hardware in favor of specialized Microservices, and then a cloud-native radio access network (RAN), at which
, the evolution roadmap for 5G eventually culminates in a cloud-native 5GĬore network whose functions are disaggregated and deployed in containers as Providers like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. More of them are moving some or all of their B/OSS systems to public-cloud Moreover, as operators undergo digital transformation, more and Software that’s decoupled from the hardware. In general is moving towards an era where telecoms operations are done in This is perhaps the key to the puzzle, because the telecoms sector
Rancore Technologies, which bought acquired US-based software company Radisys One of Reliance’s subsidiaries is 4G software firm And, as it happens, Jio has a lot of mobile softwareĮxpertise at its disposal. It’s designed for IP (or “cloud-native”, as ET’s source puts it), mostĮverything is done in software. It has no legacy circuit-switched 2G/3G gear to deal with or maintain. Is it plausible? More thanįirst of all, Jio began life as an all-IP 4G network, which means Launch a complete 5G network, from the base stations and antennas to the core network. Is that Jio has literally developed every component it needs to build and It should be stated at this point that ET got this from anĪnonymous source, and that Jio hasn’t confirmed anything. In 5G, we will totally be self-sufficient,” the person told ET. These vendors and are fully automated since we have our own cloud-native To which analysts and telecoms industry observers around the worldĭeveloped everything end-to-end around 5G technology.
