JIO OFFERS 5G TECH, TO DEVELOP CHEAP SMARTPHONE WITH GOOGLE 

Reliance Industries Ltd. ‘s Jio platforms unit has developed a 5G technology which will be deployed in India next year, chairman Mukesh Ambani said

To aid mass adoption of the technology and to enable millions of 2G feature phone users to graduate to smart phones, Jio and Google would partner to develop an entry level 4G or even 5G smartphone with Android operating system

Jio planned to export its 5G solution to other telecom operators globally, as a complete managed service, once the technology was proven at India scale, the RIL , chief said

Stating that the investment in Jio would be the first and the biggest Investment that Google would make in India from the $ 10 billion fund announced recently

5G is the fifth generation technology standard for cellular networks, which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019

5G networks are cellular networks, in which the service area is divided into small geographical areas called cells

All 5G wireless devices in a cell are connected to the Internet and telephone network by radio waves through a local antenna in the cell

5G can support up to a million devices per square kilometer, while 4G supports only up to 100,000 devices per square kilometer

Beyond mobile operator networks, 5G is also expected to be used for private networks with applications in industrial IoT, enterprise networking, and critical communications

5G network will be composed of networks of up to 3 different types of cells, each requiring different antennas, each type giving a different tradeoff of download speed vs. distance and service area 

Advantage of the new networks is that they will have greater bandwidth, giving higher download speeds, eventually up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbit/s)

Current 4G cellphones will not be able to use the new networks, which will require new 5G enabled wireless devices

Increased speed is achieved partly by using higher-frequency radio waves than current cellular networks. Higher-frequency radio waves have a shorter range than the frequencies used by previous cell phone towers, requiring smaller cells

5G networks operate on up to three frequency bands, low, medium, and high 

5G NR (New Radio) is a new air interface developed for the 5G network. It is supposed to be the global standard for the air interface of 3GPP 5G networks

The ITU-R has defined three main application areas for the enhanced capabilities of 5G. They are Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC)

Large quantities of new radio spectrum (5G NR frequency bands) have been allocated to 5G

Nine companies sell 5G radio hardware and 5G systems for carriers: Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Datang Telecom/Fiberhome, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, and ZTE.
