The release will be done taking into consideration the rules of 3rd Generation Partnership Project that will define its guidelines by 2019.[source]

Reliance Jio, Vodafone India and Idea cellular have also started implementing Multiple input and Multiple output (MIMO) in 4G technology so as to make it work like 5G network. They are also expecting to roll out 5G in 2020 in India.



MIMO is expected to increase the capacity of base station. It is expected to increase by five or seven times and reduce the interference. There are many trials taken by these technology giants and results are considered simultaneously. It will take few years to launch it completely.

BSNL( Bharat Sanchar Nagam Limited) have signed an agreement with Coriant i.e US based networking provider to speed up network architecture that will be required for 5G implementation. It is expected that it will launch its services within coming financial year.

BSNL has largest optic fibre network and is spread more vastly than all other networks which is a positive point for BSNL.

All these technology giants are into the race of speed, availability and costs. It is a challenge for all of them to provide quality work within estimated time so as to compete with their competitors.

All the telecommunication companies are looking to launch 5G at the earliest so as to increase their customer base like Reliance Jio did.

All is to wait and watch who comes with 5G first.
