As per the statement, Airtel's on-premise 5G captive private network was made over the trial spectrum which was allocated by the Department of telecommunication (DoT). It has even mentioned in its statement that Airtel has been deployed as India's first private 5G network at Bosch facility.

'The trial was successful which clearly demonstrates Airtel's capability to deliver high quality private network solutions for Industry 4.0,' it has added in the statement.

Airtel has enforced two industrial grade use cases for improving the quality and operational efficiency at Bosch's producing facility, by utilising the trial spectrum.

As per the statement, in each of the cases 5G technology like mobile broadband and ultra-reliable low latency communications drove machine-controlled operations with the guarantee of faster scale up and reduced downtimes.

'The private network was made to set up on trial spectrum at the Bosch facility, as it has the potential to manage thousands of connected devices in addition to delivering multi-GBps throughput,' it added.

Meanwhile, according to the last month report the three private telecommunication operators such as Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea were expected to buy the spectrum at the rate of Rs. 71,000 crore within the upcoming 5G auction. It would leave a huge majority of the radiowaves which would go within the hammer unsold, as per the research firm IIFL Securities.

According to the report which was released, the government's in-principle had nod to assign spectrum directly to enterprises. It is later going to have an adverse outcome of the mega auction.

As per IIFL, 'When the supply is abundant, the government is not up to cut the TRAI's planned reserve costs despite of the telcos' assertion on the fact that these were still high. We tend to see telcos bidding just for four of the ten bands and spectrum need to be sold-out at base price. We had estimated the spectrum outlay of Rs. 37,500 crore, Rs. 25,000 crore and Rs. 8,500 crore for Jio, Bharti and Vi.'
