Although Modi government has said Huawei will only participate in 5G trials, the fear is it will be difficult to stop the Chinese firm from securing contracts.
Swadeshi Jagran Manch convener Ashwani Mahajan writes to Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad questioning Modi govt’s urgency and Huawei’s participation.
India's decision comes as a major boost to Huawei, the world's leader in telecom equipment and the number two smartphone producer, amid a heavy clampdown on it by the US.
Bruno Kahl, president of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service, raised concerns about Huawei's dependency on the Communist Party and China's intelligence apparatus.
In the latest budget, the FDI limit was increased to 100 percent, but most foreign companies are not buying such large stakes in the Indian insurance sector.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Yes, India can develop software (SDR) for 5G, but India currently does not have the capacity to build 5G hardware. So, the 5G equipment has to be imported from other countries, like China (Huawei/ZTE).
It is kind of like importing a Windows Laptop, and then installing homegrown Linux on it, because India does not have the capacity to build Laptops.
2G spectrum handling enabled the fastest transition of any technology to the masses in 70 years in India. If that be the focus, 5G will similarly percolate to the farmers level in India. Ambani being able to use 5G matters a diddly squat. A Kinara store being able to use it OTH will mean a lot to India.
If China wants to behave itself the way it wants on Kashmir and 5G, they are not our masters in this political game. Its time for the Finance Ministry to blow China’s 5G company Hawae to be blocked. And challenge them on the economic front. Its time not to blow down or get bullied by ourDECEASED SICK NEIGHBOR -WINNIE PIG – JAI HIND
The time to use Indian tech was when networks were evolving from 2G, 2.5G and utpto 3G . That would have tested our technology in the field under rigorous user load and weather conditions . It is indeed a surprise that our research labs have come so far in 5G, since we literally did nothing in the earlier technologies. No journalist except this author has covered India’s work in 5G so far. If our home grown 5G follows the LCA time frames , then we know that we have to use overseas tech this time too. It often happens that Indian labs announce a breakthrough but later we hear nothing of it, or they don’t measure up somehow. Let’s hope for the best and wish that some part of our network will use Indian tech.
ABout the Govt having leverage with telcos that is hard to understand. If the Govt insists on the 1.4 trillion payback, then the telcos will be sunk and will simply say, we have no funds to buy spectrum for 5G. You get it for us at dirt cheap rates like A Raja did !!
