TRAI Sets Guardrails for Enterprise 5G Services and Network Capacity
What Happened
TRAI has proposed new Quality of Service standards for 5G network slicing, a technology that allows telecom operators to create dedicated virtual networks for specific users and applications. TRAI has proposed that less than 1% of 5G cells should exceed 80% resource utilization, with operators required to add capacity if congestion persists. The draft rules require operators to demonstrate adequate network capacity before launching a new network slice and submit details to TRAI at least 21 days prior to rollout.
Key Takeaways
The proposal lays the groundwork for enterprise-grade 5G services in India while seeking to protect consumer experience.
