Spectrum Auction 2021

So if jio is aiming for introducing 5g services this year will they be using 20 mhz of b40 for 5g?

Long one's Radiate B40 only

As far as I think, in space constraint places only tri band antennas used, also in my area site one additional sector has all 3 bands and another in same direction has b3,40 antenna

Both pointing same direction.

I think they'll buy N78 in upcoming Auction and deploy it within 2022 in Metros

I guess it's just for soft launch, only N78 is true 5G

Also in another area, one site has tri band antenna and it emits all 3 bands.

That length varies from that antenna OEM ace and Rosenberg, Rosenberg tri band is lengthy than ace and also with gain variation length also varies.

Also jio made smart move buy choosing B5 pan India, airtel vil stuck with b8. Now next step of jio is to further boost B5 to 15mhz pan India. Airtel have 5mhz b5 in few states.

Airtel and VIL need to share what's available in b8, while 850 band is exclusively for Jio. With this I don't think jio will buy B28 for 4G anytime soon. B5 15mhz is good.

i think jioagain buying 5mhz of b5 for 4g is a distant possibilty , since it cannot used as a single block, will it have to be aggregated, i dont think there are not many mid range phones supporting fdd+fdd ca.

most probably jio will buy spectrum in 700 mhz range for 5g i think

Now next step of jio is to further boost B5 to 15mhz pan India.

15MHz cannot be deployed so 10MHz B5 is enough. They can buy B28 which can be deployed upto 20MHz Block

 

[RKhan21]

If 700 MHz price drops Jio will surely buy. It's best band to deploy 4G/5G cuz big block can be deployed

 

[Bruce_Wayne]

15MHz cannot be deployed so 10MHz B5 is enough.

But B5 on 5G can run upto 20Mhz so in future it's useful I think. Also B5 price is way lower than B28, also they got 15Mhz in Mumbai we have to see how they're deploying it there. Maybe 5mhz for 5G trail.
