NEW DELHI: The central government today said that frequencies were allotted only for trials of 3G spectrum in the country.
“No frequencies have been allotted for regular operation so far to any organization,” the government said in a statement issued here today.
The statement also reiterated the government’s stand that low power indoor demonstration of the 3G mobile communication technology and testing of the 3G equipment interface with other existing telecom networks should not cause any interference to other operations.
“No claim can be made by any equipment vendors, software developers and service providers on these trials frequencies or any other part of the 3G spectrum for regular operations/services, the statement added.
The issue of allotment of 3G spectrum for commercial operations in the country is presently under consideration of the government in consultation with Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.
Meanwhile, during last one year, low power indoor demonstration of the 3G mobile communication technology and testing of the 3G equipment interface with other existing telecom networks has been allowed for short durations to various equipment vendors, software developers and service providers, as per their request.
For this purpose, power level, which is thousand times lower than the normal operational power level has only been allowed and these demonstrations and experiments are limited to the indoor environment.
