India now has the second largest 5G network in the world, on the back of the fastest 5G rollout with 300,000 sites set up in 10 months, the government added.
Telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, “The world’s fastest 5G rollout continues, over 3 lakh sites installed in 714 districts. World’s second largest 5G ecosystem." Based on the documents provided to Parliament, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, two telecom service providers, jointly established the sites, which had 2.8 lakh users in July. The department of telecom informed the Parliament last month that it was keeping an eye on the district-level rollout of 5G networks, noting that as of 7 July, 5G networks had been deployed in 717 different districts across the nation.
The government has undertaken many efforts to hasten the installation of 5G networks across the nation. According to him, the process for obtaining SACFA clearance for low power base transceiver stations (BTS) and small cells, such as Micro, Pico, and Femto cells, on already-existing street furniture and infrastructure has been streamlined.
The Indian Telegraph Right of Way (Amendment) Rules, 2022, outline the application process and time-bound approval for using street furniture for the installation of small cells and telegraph lines. The GatiShakti Sanchar platform, which offers a single interface between all stakeholders, including the Central and State/UT Government(s), Local authorities, and Service Providers, has also been launched to facilitate and expedite Right of Way approvals.
The DoT has established an Inter-Ministerial Committee to oversee the adaptation of 5G use cases for various industries, he continued. To make the most of the development in 5G technology, DoT has issued messages to many ministries, including the Ministries of Health, Sports, Agriculture, and Heavy Industries.
