5G Infra: TRAI has proposed to develop places like electric poles, traffic signals, bus stands as 5G infrastructure. This is a win-win deal for both sides.
5G Infra: There is a long wait for 5G network in the country. Now the telecom regulator TRAI has proposed an interesting method regarding this, which will not only solve the biggest challenge of starting 5G network but will also benefit the other party. In the consultation paper presented by TRAI on Wednesday, 5G network will be spread through street furniture like electric poles, lamp posts, traffic signals on alley-nooks and squares i.e. public places. In this it will be done that small cell and aerial fibers will be installed in all of them. Public places like bus stops can also be used for providing telecom services.
Its dual advantage will be that the Jalj 5G network can be expanded at a low cost, so where it will be installed, 5G can be used to smartly handle traffic signals, smartly catch electricity theft, etc. . TRAI has invited comments on this from all the stakeholders by 20 April and counter comments by 4 May.

What will be the benefits
According to TRAI’s consultation paper, various municipal bodies include government and private authorities with administrative jurisprudence, smart city administrations, government departments, railways, airports, ports and street furniture under the metro train system. If access to these street furniture is given by these controlling authorities, then the biggest challenge of setting up small cell of 5G across the country will be removed and these authorities will also be profitable. These authorities will benefit from the use of 5G in smart waste disposal, smart traffic signals, smart metering, smart grid monitoring, disaster management, automation, energy management, new ways to generate revenue, etc.
