First - ever fully remote meeting of the Telecommunication Development Advisory Group

During the "New Spectrum for Wi-Fi" event, the broadband industry, led by IAFI, urged the Indian government to delicense the 6 GHz spectrum, aligning with global trends for technologies like WiFi 6E. There were discussions on the significance of broadband networks, with WiFi handling half of global data traffic.Insights into the socioeconomic benefits of delicensing the 6 GHz band, emphasizing the potential of WiFi 6 and beyond to support diverse use cases alongside existing technologies. The event concluded with a unified call for unlocking WiFi's full potential in India.

IAFI dismissed the proposal to auction the upper end of the 6GHz spectrum band, asserting it as irrelevant to TRAI's 5G spectrum auction consultation and emphasizing its previous rejection during WRC-19, mainly due to India's opposition. It further suggested delicensing the 6GHz band (6425MHz to 7125MHz) for technologies like Wi-Fi and NR-U, highlighting its extensive use in India and citing advantages such as wider channels, better speeds, and lower latency.

IAFI assured that the rollout of 5G services in India, specifically in the C band frequencies being auctioned, poses no risk to civil aircraft altimeters. They emphasized the presence of adequate safeguards to prevent interference, stating that the C band frequencies allocated for 5G in India are entirely safe for civil radiation altimeters.

IAFI proposed reserve prices for spectrum bands in India, suggesting Rs 500 crores per MHz for nationwide spectrum in the 700 MHz band and Rs 100 crores for the C band. Additionally, IAFI recommended a reserve price of Rs 80 crores per 10 MHz for nationwide spectrum in the mmWave band. The organization highlighted its submission on the challenges faced in previous auctions of 700 MHz frequencies.

IAFI has recommended to the Department of Telecom (DoT) that the Captive License be integrated with the WPC (Wireless Planning and Coordination) spectrum license. The organization proposes a streamlined process wherein users can directly apply for spectrum to WPC, bypassing the intricate Captive Licensing process with DoT. This simplification aims to significantly reduce processing time to approximately three months.

IAFI has suggested expediting the finalization of ITU recommendations regarding the utilization of 4G/5G technologies for automated vehicles. This proposal is based on the premise that emerging technologies for vehicular automation will leverage existing 4G and 5G infrastructure, connecting vehicles to various elements through standard LTE and 5G NR wireless technologies.

IAFI has written to the MoC advocating for the delicensing of the V band, asserting that this move could spur significant economic growth and boost GDP. The organization argues that delicensing the V band aligns with the strategies of other developing and developed nations, fostering innovation by domestic engineers and supporting global ecosystems. IAFI contends that this step would enable low-cost outdoor Wi-Fi and fixed wireless networks based on global IEEE standards, in accordance with Prime Minister Shri Modi's vision of connecting all villages with high-speed broadband.

IAFI has recommended the establishment of a new 600 MHz spectrum band for 4G and 5G networks in the Asia Pacific region. The proposed 40+40 MHz band plan aims to offer prime spectrum for 4G and 5G, supplementing the existing 700 MHz band, which could have provided 90 MHz of coverage spectrum for these technologies.

The proposal suggests a collaborative effort between the Telecom Industry and the Department of Telecommunications to establish infrastructure and organization for 5G and 6G spectrum. IAFI emphasizes the need for joint collaboration in implementing technology in the country. The industry association commits to ongoing cooperation with the telecom department, focusing on spectrum-related studies and the development of 5G and 6G technologies.
