TSDSI-5GIA-BIF supported by Delegation of the European Union to India and India EU Cooperation Project on ICT-Related Standardisation, Policy and Legislation

India Habitat Centre, New Delhi

5-6 February 2019

The emerging 5G technologies have the potential to unleash the power of digital technologies to transform Indian society and bridge the Urban-Rural divide. India has drawn up a roadmap to promote indigenous IP development and deployment, in collaboration with global players, of this technology. As the global community gears up to implement the first wave of 5G technologies, it is important to collaborate on the trials, pilots and share the experiences. A shared vision for further development and deployment of futuristic technologies is necessary to accelerate the delivery of benefits of 5G to the global community.

Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI) has been leading efforts to incorporate India specific requirements and solutions thereof from 5G in global forums.  The 5G Infrastructure Association (5G-IA) is the voice of the European Industry for the development and evolution of 5G, and thus committed to build global consensus on 5G.  Broadband India Forum (BIF), is championing efforts on leveraging 5G technologies for the propagation of broadband in India.

With the support of the Delegation of the European Union to India and India-EU Cooperation Project on ICT-Related  Standardisation, Policy and Legislation, TSDSI and BIF joined hands with 5G-IA to organize a workshop that brought together technology experts from the EU and India geographies to share their experiences and explore areas of mutual collaboration.

The workshop covered topics from following areas:

  • 5G Architecture and Applications
  • Status of 5G Standardisation
  • 5G Trials, Interoperability and Test Beds
  • Rural 5G
  • mmWave and VLC Building Network Architecture
  • Cloud, Satellite and Broadcast viz. 5G
