While some countries in the world including South Korea will start commercial roll out of 5G this year itself, India is on track to start the process in 2020, a top Samsung executive said at India Mobile Congress 2018 in Delhi.

The roll out of 5G is expected to accelerate India’s GDP growth and transform many sectors including healthcare, education, disaster management and agriculture.

With its successful development of the first commercial ASIC-based 5G modems and mmWave RFICs, the company has been manufacturing compact-sized 5G radio and router devices and CPEs (customers premises equipment).

Samsung’s solutions span network equipment, devices and chipsets.
