"Specifically, the 10% decline in worldwide telecom capex (the sum of wireless and wireline/other telecom carrier investments as Dell’Oro measures it) was blamed on built-up inventory, weaker demand in China, India, and US, ‘challenging 5G comparisons’, excess capacity, and elevated uncertainty. In terms of outlook, the analyst expects global carrier revenues to increase at a 1% CAGR over the next three years. While this might sound like thin gruel, it’s something – and it is about the only piece of (modest) good news the report highlights"

Worldwide telecom capex, the sum of wireless and wireline/other telecom carrier investments, declined 10 percent year-over-year (YoY) in the first half of 2024, partly due to built-up inventory, weaker demand in China, India, and the US, challenging #5G comparisons, excess capacity, and elevated uncertainty.

Comprehensive Analysis of 4G and 5G Deployment Trends in India (June 2022 - May 2024) Yesterday, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) released its latest 5G BTS data, revealing significant trends in telecom infrastructure development over the past 28 months. Despite a robust start, May 2024 saw the deployment of only 3.6K 5G BTSs, marking the lowest monthly rate observed during this period. Over the entire duration, India saw the deployment of 428K 5G BTSs compared to only 115K 4G BTSs. This indicates a deployment ratio of approximately 21% for 4G and 79% for 5G. This data also highlights a concerning trend for 4G deployment, which has not shown significant growth. The slower pace in 4G BTS installations suggests that telecom operators, particularly Vodafone Idea (VI) and BSNL, need to accelerate their efforts to expand their 4G networks across the country. For a visual perspective on the rolling out of telecom infrastructure, refer to the attached chart detailing the month-by-month deployment of BTS across India. #TelecomIndia #5GDeployment #4GExpansion #DigitalIndia #InfrastructureDevelopment

European #telecom gear makers Nokia and #Ericsson have reported a steep decline in sales in the January-March period as Indian telecom operators "normalised" the 5G deployment pace. #Nokia on April 18 reported a 68 percent decline in net sales to 265 million euros in the January-March quarter, compared to 853 million euros in the same quarter last year, as Indian telecom operators "normalised” the 5G deployment pace. Both European vendors expect fresh deals from struggling telco Vodafone Idea, which has earmarked Rs 12,750 crore of the total FPO proceeds to purchase equipment for expanding its network infrastructure by setting up new 4G sites, expanding the capacity of existing 4G sites and new 5G sites.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has introduced stringent quality norms for 4G and 5G networks, increased financial penalties for not meeting benchmarks, and directed telcos to compensate users with rent rebates and validity extensions for outages exceeding 24 hours. This move aims to curb call drops and slow network issues. Key Changes: - Penalties Increased:Financial penalties have doubled from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh, with a new graded system for various rule violations. - 5G Quality Benchmarks: QoS benchmarks for 5G services introduced for the first time. - Enhanced Service Parameters: New measures for fixed, wireless, and broadband services to improve telecommunication quality. - User Compensation: Rebates and validity extensions for outages over 24 hours for mobile services and repairs taking over three days for fixed-line services. Starting October 1, the new regulations will supersede previous ones, reflecting the advanced technological landscape of telecom networks. Enhanced benchmarks for network availability, call drop rate, packet drop rate, and latency will ensure superior service quality. TRAI will monitor QoS performance monthly, and telcos have six months for a smooth transition. Service providers must display mobile coverage maps and QoS performance on their websites. With these changes, TRAI aims for timely action on QoS issues and early resolution of non-compliance, driving corrective actions and enhancing user experience. Implementation Timeline: - Six months to two and a half years for various benchmarks. Together, let's look forward to improved network services and a seamless digital experience! #Telecom #TRAI #5G #QualityOfService #QoS #Innovation #Technology #Network #DigitalIndia
