5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users. 5G is employed in three sorts of linked services: improved mobile broadband, mission-critical communications, and the enormous IoT.
Do we need 5G in Nepal?
The better question is whether we can ignore it. 5G is undoubtedly spreading around the globe and sparking new online habits. AI, AR/VR, smart homes, and other emerging technologies are anticipated to become increasingly visible on a daily basis. So, Nepal is also experiencing a spike in new internet habits following Covid-19, and 4G is not equipped to handle these demanding requirements.
Others are even talking about 6G, but a transition to the unstandardized network remains difficult. It is equally sensible to prefer progress over revolution. As a result of its fast speed and low latency, 5G will be increasingly important in Nepal from several viewpoints.
Is 5G Network available in Nepal?
Even though Nepal Telecom has been planning its’ 5G launch date for years, the state-owned company keeps on interfering with the launch date. Nepal Telecom has set multiple trail dates for 5G Network, but they have all been pushed back for no valid reasons.
When will 5G Network launch in Nepal?
Sunil Paudel, MD of Nepal Telecom (NTC), has formally declared the launch of the long-awaited 5G experiment. On the occasion of its 19th anniversary, the corporation has been testing its fifth-generation cellular network from Babarmahal and Sundhara. Nevertheless, the upgraded cellular standard will not be available to the public for the time being.
The corporation reported the completion of the installation of 5G equipment from the two previously indicated locations. Nevertheless, the problem has been the incredibly limited number of devices that support the most recent mobile network for general availability.
Nepal Telecom’s 5G trial locations
The location of the the first round of testing will be held in Kathmandu. After it’s completion the second round might commence in Birgunj, Pokhara, Nepalgunj, Biratnagar, and other places. While the plan incorporates all seven provinces, more regions in other provinces will be included.
For remote communities, a few rural municipalities in and around Kathmandu will be chosen to test 5G broadband for free. As the trial begins, the corporation will also examine the potential 5G use cases and market demands.
What is Nepal up to?
After the various faliure in setting up trail sessions for 5G Network, Nepal Telecom was officially set to begin its’ trail for 5G technology.
According to a GSMA forecast, there will be 1.8 billion 5G connections by 2025, with developed Asia and the United States leading the way.
