Bhatnagar shared these insights at the seventh edition of ETTelecom 5G | 6G Congress 2024, where around 400 delegates are expected to participate. The event will feature 40 speakers discussing various aspects of 5G, 5G Advanced, network transformation, device ecosystem, and the upcoming 6G technology.
Bhatnagar emphasized that 6G will offer endless possibilities in terms of use cases, limited only by imagination. He also mentioned that the 3rd Generation Partnership Project’s (3GPP) Release 17 and Release 18 will pave the way for 5G Advanced and eventually 6G technology to become a reality.
Indigenous Technology Development
Furthermore, Bhatnagar noted that the technology commercialized in Jio’s 5G network has been developed indigenously. He highlighted the significance of not just developing technology, but also scaling it to meet the demands of consumers. This showcases the potential of indigenous technology in the Indian context, aligning with the vision of ‘Make in India’ initiative.
