5G Use case Pilots – Digital opportunities for user agencies & communities:
To accelerate India’s Digital Transformation across socio-economic verticals by leveraging 5G Technology, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), through an “Inter-ministerial committee on 5G use cases and applications”, Telecom Startups & MSMEs Mission (TSuM) & 5G Vertical Engagement Partnership Program (VEPP), has been facilitating collaborations of Digital Communication Tech – startups & SMEs and other use case industry members to potential user communities viz. State governments, Smart cities, Aspirational districts, vertical industries etc.
Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), DoT being a pioneer in emerging Digital communication Technologies, is front-ending the “5G use case promotional pilots” for deploying 5G/4G/IoT innovative solutions of Startups & SMEs. User communities such as vertical ministries, Aspirational districts, Smart cities etc. can undertake pilots/deployments of innovative 5G use cases for enhanced service delivery by funding startups & MSMEs through C-DOT.
Potential Users & communities:
- Vertical Ministries (Agriculture, Automobile &Transport, Education, Health, Manufacturing, Logistics, Mining, Ports & Airports, Power, Railways, Smart Cities, Tourism etc.)
- Rural- Aspirational Districts/District administrations
- Urban- Smart cities/Municipalities
- Central & State PSUs, Development corporations/councils
- Academia/Centre of Excellences/
- Vertical industries such as Airports, Logistic Hubs, Factories, Agri Institutions, Power Utility Companies, Hospitals, Mining Agencies, Educational / Skill Development Institutions, Banks/Banking institutions, CoEs, Malls/Recreation centers/Retail stores, Tourism & cultural centers, Hotels, Ports, Airports, Stadiums, Manufacturing Units, etc.
User agencies can also test their customized 5G use case solutions at the Indigenous 5G Test Bed site at IIT Madras
Note: Pilots/Deployments can start at the places having 5G/4G Coverage, for the areas where connectivity is an issue, the coverage can be extended using digital connectivity solutions by startups such as- Point to Point wireless links (Free space optics & Wi-Fi radios), 5G/4G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)- Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) with the support of TSPs.

5G Testbed access
Keeping in view India’s specific requirements and to take lead in 5G deployment, DoT approved financial grant of Rs. 224 Crore in March 2018 for setting up a ‘Indigenous 5G Test Bed’, a multi-institute collaborative project. The 5G testbed, an open-box testbed, enables industry to go deeper into subsystem level for developing and testing their products and also to test the use cases at its edge.
The eight collaborating institutes in the project are IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur, IISc Bangalore, Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering & Research (SAMEER) and Centre of Excellence in Wireless Technology (CEWiT). The project has been completed on 31-12-2021.
In order to facilitate development of indigenous technology in line with the spirit of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ programme, the usage charges for the Test Bed have been kept nominal with nil fee for Startups and MSMEs for the next 6 months i.e. upto Jan,2023.
