Earlier this year, Prime minister Narendra Modi launched 5G services at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2022 exhibition held at the national capital. Since then 5G has been the talk of the town. So what exactly is 5G? Simply put, 5G is the fifth-generation technology standard for mobile networks. It is much faster than 4G and is set to revamp different industries, including agriculture, education, gaming, health care, etc. Since many people are still working remotely from their hometowns, 5G use cases are now being tested under real-life scenarios.

After a long wait, India is ready to witness the benefits of 5G services. Telcos are working hard to deliver 5G pan-India, and 5G services in India will only pave the path for greater possibilities in different sectors. With 5G services across states, industries like electronics, manufacturing, transportation, utilities, hospitals, and others will hugely benefit from the deployment of 5G.
