5G is based on OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing), a mechanism for reducing interference by modulating a digital transmission across many channels. It employs both OFDM and 5G NR air interfaces. Sub-6 GHz and mm Wave technologies are also used in it . This network promise peak speeds of about 50mbps to 1gb per second. It promises to deliver speeds up to 10 times greater than 4G. That means faster downloads, faster uploads, and less lag. The next step in mobile communication is rolling out 4G LTE network speeds. This will enable very high data rates, ultra-low latency, as well as much wider coverage. The technology will offer new and advanced applications for various industries including healthcare, smart manufacturing, retail, agriculture, smart cities, transportation, and mining.
5G will also bring new opportunities for automating the creation, management, and delivery of information. For example, it will allow companies to stream high-definition video, two-way audio, and virtual reality content directly to mobile workers. It will also pave the way for new, interactive business apps that include 3D graphics, location-based services, and high-definition video.
The introduction of 5G technologies will lead to millions of new use cases and applications including advanced mobile, industrial automation, Internet of Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (m2m), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), broadcast, and more.
Better chipsets and more efficient core processors are the result of technological innovation.
With the advent of mobile technology, chipsets and processors have attained new levels of efficiency. The advancement in the chipset technology makes the use of multi-core processors possible. The chipset allows all cores to communicate with one another. As technology advances, the chipset and core processor gets upgraded.
The chipset and core processor are interconnected by a link, which helps in data transfer. The chipset consists of several sub-units such as GPU, Flash memory, media processor, and system controller. The chipset has the graphics processing unit (GPU), which is used for rendering and animation of graphics. The chipset also has a media processor, which is used for audio and video decoding. The chipset media processor also acts as a digital signal processor (DSP). Most chips are optimized to work well on a single frequency. To get better efficiency, chipmakers have been trying to make chips that can work at multiple frequencies. Wireless networks have gradually evolved from analog to digital, each bringing bigger, faster, and cheaper networks. This progression has fueled the digital transformation that has transformed the way we live, work, shop, learn, and play.
India is not chipset manufacturing hub:
The chip industry seems to be growing in India, but two things are worth noting. India is not a chip manufacturing hub. Its chips are bought from elsewhere. And India’s chip companies are not growing fast. By contrast, China has dozens of companies making their own chips, and some of them are building their own fabrication houses so they can make chips for other companies. When a company starts making its own chips, it typically makes four things: a chip design, a chip layout, a chip manufacturing system, and a chip testing system. Right now, India is not one of the leading 5G nations. But 5G technology is still young, and India’s competitive position could quickly change. India’s government is already considering regulation that would make it a national priority to develop 5G.
5G is going to involve a lot of development work.
Dependency on china for chipset and semiconductors:
The Indian government is also trying to manufacture its chipset and semiconductors so as to reduce the dependency on china chipset. India has been importing chipset and semiconductors from countries like China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The current global semiconductor market is facing a shortage that will affect both the growth of the overall sector and the performance of individual companies. A shortage of chips will mean slower growth in both the production of semiconductors and the overall electronics sector. India’s semiconductor development is being accelerated by this factor.
Conclusion:
5G is a game changer. It will change how the world connects. It will make mobile data speeds faster. It will change the way we use data. It will make profound connectivity everywhere. This technology has a lot of potential for the telecom market. India is one of the developing countries. It is growing continuously. The telecom sector is one of the most dynamic of the Indian economy. The technology is changing very fast. Most of the Indian telecom companies have already started working on 5g technology. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular are all expected to launch 5G services in India. The semiconductor market will evolve, and things will soon catch up.
