8. 5G Schedule- Global

9. 5G will Disrupt Telecom Industry • 5G is disrupting the telecom ecosystem • Cloud architecture and open hardware break legacy hold • Growing emphasis on virtualization and network programmability– software becoming more important • New players with innovative products can disrupt • Opportunities for new players to emerge from India for 5G eco-system • India is contributing in 5G standards for emerging market needs • Strong Government support to develop 5G eco-system • 5G plays to India’s strengths in software, fabless design • The 5G Developmental Use Cases to put Digital Communications as the central tool for socio-economic development of the country • Targets at creating an ubiquitous optical fibre and towers infrastructure that will provide a strong foundation for enabling 5G services in the country • Enhancing India’s contribution in the Global value chains • Position India as a leader in 5G standards and technology creation

10. Time for India to Step Up • Thriving innovation and startup ecosystem in India • Unique confluence of entrepreneurship, access to capital, experienced mentors and a young, dynamic and talented workforce • Silicon design is moving to India; largest design base outside US • 2,000 chips being designed every year for global MNCs • Early signs of IPR/R&D-driven startups achieving global success • Forward-looking policies and proactive government • JAM Trinity: 1bn Bank Accounts (Jan Dhan) + 1bn Aadhaar + 1bn Mobile Broadband Users • High-speed broadband reaching every Indian via BharatNet project • India’s turn to take the innovation lead in 5G • China did it in 3G, South Korea in 4G • 5G opens up new vistas for innovation in areas such as IoT and Enhanced Rural Mobile Broadband where India can play a significant role

11. Impact on India’s Economy Economic impact of 5G is expected to be over USD 1 Trillion • Consequent multiplier effect expected to be much more and will act as a transformational force for the society at a broader level • Will enable to leapfrog traditional barriers to physical infrastructure, to bridge the digital and economic divide, especially for rural and underserved clusters • Harnessing 5G and associated technologies will catalyse the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), as envisioned in National Digital Communications Policy 2018, unleashing new economic opportunities and societal benefits, to propel India to a global economic powerhouse
