India’s 5G moment: What we can expect from the rollout event

Heralding the dawn of a new era in technology, PM Narendra Modi will launch 5G services at 10 AM tomorrow, October 1 at India Mobile Congress (IMC 2022) in New Delhi. PM Modi will visit the exhibition and witness the demonstration of the use cases of 5G technology in multiple areas. The various use cases that will be demonstrated include precision drone based farming; high security routers & AI-based cyber threat detection platform; automated guided vehicles; Ambupod – Smart Ambulance; Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality/Mix Reality in education and skill development; sewage monitoring system; smart-agri programme; health diagnostics, among others.

What will we get to see
The three major telecom operators of the country will demonstrate one use case each in front of the Prime Minister to show the potential of 5G technology in India.

Reliance Jio will connect a teacher from a school in Mumbai with students at three different locations in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Odisha. The aim is to demonstrate how 5G will facilitate education by bringing teachers closer to students, obliviating the physical distance between them. It will demonstrate the power of Augmented Reality (AR) on screen and how that is being used to teach children across the country, remotely, without the need of an AR device.

In the Airtel demo, a girl from Uttar Pradesh will witness an immersive education experience to learn about the solar system with the help of Virtual reality and Augmented reality. The girl will share her experience of learning with the PM by appearing on the dias through a hologram.

The Vodafone Idea test case will demonstrate safety of workers at an under construction tunnel of Delhi Metro through creation of a Digital Twin of the tunnel on the dias. Digital Twin will give safety alerts to workers in real time from a remote location. PM will take a live demo from the dias to monitor the work in real time.

What are the key benefits of 5G
The 5G technology will offer a wide range of benefits to common people. It will help in providing seamless coverage, high data rate, low latency, and highly reliable communications. The technology will increase energy efficiency, spectrum efficiency and network efficiency. 5G technology will help in connecting billions of Internet of Things devices, allow higher quality video services with mobility at high speed, delivery of critical services such as tele-surgery and autonomous cars among others. The technology will help in real-time monitoring of disasters, precision agriculture, minimising the role of humans in dangerous industrial operations such as in deep mines, offshore activities etc. Unlike existing mobile communication networks, 5G networks will allow tailoring of requirements for each of these different use cases within the same network.
