Upholding the view of the Indian telecom sector at the World Radio Communications conference in Egypt, The International Telecom Union (ITU) has dismissed a proposal of the Department of Telecommunications which pushed ISRO to restrict transmission power of 5G mobile base stations.
Crux of the Matter
ITU’s global regulation paves the way for mobile phone companies to deploy 26 GHz millimetre wave band with no restriction on a 5G mobile base station that transmits 60 dBm at the normal level.
ISRO wanted to cut down the transmission to 37 dBm as it requires a small slug of 26 GHz spectrum for satellite services and wants zero interference from 5G mobile networks in future.
Telcom companies had been protesting against this push warning a major impact on the future of 5G business in India.
This decision will pave the way for the DoT to auction the premium airwaves 5G services in India.
