What is the 5G spectrum?

5G spectrum is the latest upgrade in the long-term evolution (LTE) of mobile
broadband networks. This 5G network will operate in the millimeter-wave
spectrum (30-300 GHz) which can send large amounts of data at very high speeds
as the frequency is very high, and it experiences little interference from
surrounding signals. In the high-band spectrum of 5G, internet speeds have been
tested to be as high as 20 Gbps (gigabits per second), i.e., Ten times faster than
that of 4G services.

This auction, by all accounts, is India’s greatest spectrum auction ever, in light of

(remote) Access (BWA) in 2010, the government earned around 509.68 billion
Indian rupees and 385.4 billion Indian rupees, separately. During 2021’s auction of
