RDB's Blog Special: 4G/LTE vs 5G-NR

While we are waiting for 5G, and hopefully there will not much delay compared to global roll out, let's discuss the differences between present 4G-LTE technology and upcoming 5G-New Radio (NR) technology. 

At present all three private mobile carrier - Jio, Airtel and Vi are offering 4G-LTE with a mix of LTE-TDD and LTE-FDD. State owned BSNL is yet to launch 4G. 

We can expect 5G spectrum auction during mid-2022 and launch may come faster - as early as in another 3-4 months.
