India's own 5G standard could delay its 5G launch TSDSI, which develops standards for telecom and ICT products and services in India, has developed the country's own 5G technology standard - 5Gi. But concerns around it are growing louder by the day Manu Kaushik | February 20, 2021 | Updated 00:17 IST The concerns around India's own 5G technology - TSDSI's 5G Radio Interface Technology (RIT) named 5Gi - are getting louder. In December, global body International Telecommunication Union (ITU) completed the three-year-long evaluation of 5Gi and accepted it as a global 5G standard. However, industry experts are of the view that this standard may slow down the progress of 5G in the country, increase the cost of deployment for the telecom operators, and could create interoperability issues.
