BSNL 5G is plain simple wi-fi with roaming function powered by Software defined network –
Common sense analysis of the past 10 years evolution in telecom networks would give thumbs up to wi-fi as the future of wireless communications . With speeds upto 155 mbps supported on 802.11 n IEEE standard for wifi communication released in 2009, and 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps for IEEE 802.11 AC and the very fast evolution of Software defined Networks(SDN) and Optical fiber (OFC) backhaul reaching out to streets – The mobile towers of the past may soon be seen as obsolete for wireless communication..
With SDN BSNL 5G shall be able to provide seamless roaming between wi-fi hotspots with single user access credentials and hence the communication on roaming will be on par with 3g/2g services wherever the wi-fi signal is available. (BSNL may be considering integration of its existing 3g/2g networks with that of the cutting edge 5G).
As a pilot, the 5g is launched in 3 locations in Telangana & Andhrapradesh – The access will be for free to public during the pilot, and later it will be on prepaid basis just like mobile recharge. Many more 5g Access point locations will be up in the near future .
These 5G access points are similar to wi-fi access points used at home, hence they are installed on near ground level.
The main advantage of 5G is that the radiation from using wi-fi on mobile for an year can be compared to using 3g signal for 7 minutes only. This is because the mobile needs to generate huge amount of radiation to reach out to far off tower(Whose distance is in the order of KMs) compared to wi-fi (Distance between mobile and access point is in order of meters) . This explains the exponential reduction in radiation exposure using wi-fi access points. We will discuss this in more detail in future articles.
