Jay Chen, CEO of Huawei India, said: "We thank the Indian government for its continued trust in Huawei. We firmly believe that only technological innovation and high-quality networks are the key to revitalizing the Indian telecommunications industry. Confidence. We believe that the Indian government and industry will adopt the best technology for India's own long-term interests and cross-industry development. Huawei has been committed to India's development. "
Ravi Shankar Prasad, Minister of Communications of India, said the government will provide 5G spectrum to all market participants. The telecommunications sector will provide test spectrum to all service providers, and these operators can choose their partner suppliers.
According to CNBC-TV18, the Indian telecommunications sector will meet with operators on December 31 to confirm when the 5G trial will start and said that all wireless operators in India have obtained approval in principle to participate in the trial.
