India can get its own Huawei. Demand for 5G and anger towards China has given us a chance
Demand for 5G is rising — schools to governments, all depend on internet and technology now. And India is uniquely placed to fill in network gap left by China’s 5G wars.theprint.in

We are slowly moving towards JIO
And Airtel
Cartelising the Telecom Space
With the repeated investments from a number of global investors in the recent past, it seems to me that the 5G tech Jio has claimed to have made is indeed a viable product. How viable I wonder ? Good enough to get some export customers too ? If I recall correctly some of Jio's 5G labs were based in the US and most of the recent investment in Jio came from the US too. Either way interesting times ahead.India can get its own Huawei. Demand for 5G and anger towards China has given us a chance

Cross your hearts, how many folks here have needed speed beyond 3G?A friend who works in Qualcomm 5G system team (responsible for defining specification for 5G chipset) candidly admitted that there is no real practical usage of 5G. 4G is good enough for all current applications.
As far as India goes, there is not real need for any speed beyond 3G. To be honest, even in North America, 3G has been more than enough most of the folks. For maps, mails, video streaming, gaming, apps etc, 3G is enough. Supplement it with WiFi, there is no usecase to go beyond 3G.The thing about 5G is, it will last a long time, so new companies can always set up shop. 6G is at least 10 years away.

3G did solve the issue of data access bottle neck upto some extent, but was not good enough for video streaming services. This issue was addressed in 4G. The only reason 5G is being promoted because it will save many companies and 10s of thousands of jobs.Cross your hearts, how many folks here have needed speed beyond 3G?
4G is overkill and 5G, well, why the heck you need it is simply not clear.
Instead of 5G, we should invest in large scale public Wifi deployment. Technology is mature, cheap and is much easier to deploy.
C-DOT was started 2 years before Huawei.. Thanks to our bureaucracy who shut down every project at final stage, we didn't have our own version of Huawei !! It's still not late and private sector can still jump in grab this golden opportunity.India can get its own Huawei. Demand for 5G and anger towards China has given us a chance

private sector in India has become too lazy to invest in R&D , all that they do is do a joint venture with a foreign company who will bring in the technology & products , these ppl will put a label on it and provide support for it. Unless we are denied some thing completely we never work towards producing it , a disadvantage of globalization. Private sector in India has a lot of potential but sadly it seems we have encouraged the wrong set of companies.C-DOT was started 2 years before Huawei..

High End user have dedicated WiFi in their split level apartments, offices and on the road, they have 4G. Rest of India does not even need more than 3G. ISP will optimize their investments for what sells. At best you will get partial 4/5G coverage with bandwidth limited by backbone network. There may be an improvement of latency. I don't know where it will be used for.But from the ISP's or a high end user's perspective, it's different.
