New India’s 5G Technology And 6G Testbed By Alok Virendra Tiwari

 Author holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from Mumbai University. He is currently part of the Chanakya Fellowship in Social Sciences at Chanakya University, Bangalore. 8 On March 23, 2022, India launched its first 6G testbed. India’s 6G testbed is one of the first in the world. The testbed is being developed by a consortium of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other leading research institutions involving eight institutions led by IIT-Madras. This testbed will test and validate new technologies and research advancements for 6G. Artificial intelligence (AI) will play a very crucial role in 6G, as facilitating advanced features like autonomous communication, intelligent networks and enhanced security. 6G is likely to operate in tera hertz (THz) frequencies, which would enable the faster rate of data transmission than the 5G’s gigahertz (GHz) frequencies. The vision document has recommended the creation of 10000 crores funds in INR to facilitate the service over the coming ten years to the required industry. India now has a total of 127 global patents for 6G technology. Also, to develop new 6G based applications and services. In the future, this will surely help to ensure that ‘Bharat’ is at the forefront of 6G development. As 6G is expected to revolutionize communication with unprecedented speeds, ultra -low latency, and seamless connectivity will be able to transmit more data in less time, allowing the users with a smoother experience. The 6G vision document released by department of Telecommunications (DoT) states that while 5G technology provides a speed of 40-1100 Mbps with its full potential to hit maximum speed of 10000 Mbps; 6G will soon offer the people with ultra -low latency with speeds up to 1 tera bit per second. It is 1000 times more than the top speed of a 5G network. Therefore, opening the doors for industries yet not in one’s mindset. That means in the coming years even more exciting developments can be expected. Thus, it can be concluded that while we are still in the early stages of deploying 5G networks globally, it is very much clear that the industry has planned something out of the box. This progressive approach will not only revolutionize the way we interact but also position India as a pioneering nation in this digital era, attracting investments and driving the growth of its digital economy. It sets a precedent for other nations to follow in the pursuit of technological excellence.
