TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Amid the heated debate on allowing enterprises to build captive private 5G networks as India prepares for 5G spectrum auction, Bharti Airtel on Friday announced a successful trial of India’s first 5G private network at Bosch Automotive Electronics India (RBAI) facility here.
The on-premise 5G Captive Private Network was built over the trial 5G spectrum allocated by the Department of Telecom (DoT). Airtel said it has implemented two industrial grade use cases for quality improvement and operational efficiency at Bosch’s manufacturing facility, utilising the trial spectrum.
In both the cases, 5G technology such as mobile broadband and ultra reliable low latency communications drove automated operations ensuring faster scale up and reduced downtimes. “We believe that Airtel has the world-class infrastructure, partnerships and expertise to deliver Captive Private Network Solution in any part of the country and to enterprises of any size,” said Ajay Chitkara, Director and CEO, Airtel Business.
The Department of Telecom has released a notice inviting applications (NIA) for the auction of spectrum in 600, 700, 800, 900, 1800, 2100, 2300, 2500, 3300 MHz and 26GHz bands. The NIA provides explicit clarity on the subject of Captive Non-Public Networks (CNPN).
