Aside from a considerable amount of time and resources, when it comes to implementing anything like 5G, there are a number of factors at work. Here, we will answer the three most frequently asked questions related to 5G that are on everyone’s mind.
motorola India Helped us understand the processes going on behind the scenes when it comes to the OEM side of things.

Why do smartphone companies need to push out OTA updates to enable 5G, despite having a 5G chipset and modem?
Motorola said that enabling 5G requires a lot of effort and security before releasing a software update to the public. Testing the service in different cities and regions, gaining Google’s approval for the software and most importantly, due to increased radio waves, the SAR value also increases, ergo, before pushing the update, the safe SAR values It is of paramount importance to you to thoroughly test the phone for . Security.
Motorola also told us that OTAs to enable 5G are tentative, as as and when 5G rolls out in a big way, phones will come out with native 5G support, without the need for an OTA, Just like current 4G phones do.
What is the difference between SA and NSA 5G?
Well, simply put, only SA is true5G and uses 5G cores to enable the lowest possible latency and speed, whereas NSA relies on existing 4G infrastructure and then something to give you a 5G experience. 5G adds elements, but with comparatively high latency.

Pros and Cons of SA and NSA 5G:
Starting with SA, it uses an infrastructure that is built from the ground up, and uses packet cores and 5G cores developed to deliver fast speeds and minimal latency. You get better call quality, faster downloads and fewer call drops than NSA because SA waves travel in one direction. SA also uses less battery power – both on the phone and the carrier side.
NSA, on the other hand, is not considered “true 5G” as it also uses existing 4G infrastructure, but is easier to implement and scale than SA. Taking advantage of the existing network, carriers like Airtel are hoping to extend NSA 5G to even the remotest corners of India. Being a more cost-effective way of implementing 5G, NSA 5G will certainly reach people faster than SA 5G.
Which 5G bands are required for phones sold in India?
Low Band (FR1):
These sub 1 GHz bands provide a wider coverage area, better indoor coverage and better non-metro coverage. Carrier bandwidth is up to 100 MHz. The n28 band is only offered by Jio.
Middle Band (FR1):
These sub 6 GHz bands are ideal for high-density area coverage, and provide carrier bandwidths of up to 400 MHz – 1.1 Gbps. The n78 band is currently enabled by both Jio and Airtel.

Additionally, mmWave (24 – 52 GHz) includes the n257 and n258 bands, but currently, no phone in India supports these.
