#Discussion(IoTStack) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
the DCC has approved norms for spectrum allocation for 5G trials based on the recommendations of a DoT-constituted committee chaired by IIT Kanpur Director Abhay Karandikar. The panel was tasked to give recommendations on the scope of 5G trials, as well as size, quantum, pricing and other aspects for offering experimental/trial spectrum.
“The thrust of that is to ensure that in India, we are able to develop our own hardware devices and make available experimental spectrum on extremely liberal terms…so it is being given for a period of one year, which is extendible as compared to 3 months which was the maximum period earlier,” a source said.
There will be experimental and technology trial licences, applicable to all Indian entities involved in research and development, incubation, experimentation, as also telecom service providers. The licence fee has been pegged at Rs 5,000 with simplified clearance process. It also entails a provision for ‘deemed licence’, aimed at promoting startups and facilitating ease of doing business.
