Abstract

In this paper we explain 3 different wireless communication technologies available to connect handheld mobile devices and machines under the Internet Of Things (IoT). Next, our focus is on 5G technology which claims to be the fastest wireless communication technology, and the first suited to provide the connectivity between machines. 5G is compared with two other major wireless technologies: Satellite Internet and Low Power Wide Area Network, which also provide connectivity between machines with arguably wider coverage in area terms and suitability over many use cases. In contrast, 5G requires newer user equipment, modified and denser base station infrastructure, possible business model changes on account of this denser infrastructure, besides ultra-competitive spectrum license fees. Thus, IoT networks, satellite Internet or modified versions of 4G are bettersuited for many use cases that 5G is being articulated for. In view of these risks, the phenomenon of ‘unbundling’ is natural in Tech, and hence we also highlight the business case that ORAN represents for software companies, esp. IT system integrators in India, that would not normally be associated with activity in core telecoms domain.
