India to push Apple, Samsung to enable 5G support on their phones

India’s government is set to push handset makers including Apple and Samsung to expedite software upgrades on their phones to make them compatible with local 5G airwaves in the country — just days after kicking off the next-generation cellular network by the nation’s two leading telcos with all pomp and show.

Top bureaucrats from the country’s telecom and IT departments will jointly chair a meeting on Wednesday to discuss the software upgrade requirements for enabling 5G on compatible phones. The primary agenda of the closed-door meeting is to push smartphone companies to prioritize software upgrades for all 5G phones in the country, sources familiar with the development told TechCrunch.

Global companies including Apple, Samsung, Vivo and Xiaomi and local manufacturers such as Lava and Micromax are invited to the meeting that will take place in the capital city on Wednesday morning. Telecom operators Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea have also been called. Reuters first reported about the meeting on Tuesday afternoon.

After much anticipation, Reliance Jio and Airtel launched their 5G services in select cities earlier this month. Vodafone Idea — the third private player in the country’s telecom sector — has, however, not yet revealed any concrete plans for its 5G rollout. Similarly, state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is also not ready to roll out its 5G service in the country and, in fact, is yet to bring pan-India coverage of its 4G network.

Despite the initial rollout by Reliance Jio and Airtel, most Indian smartphone users are yet to experience faster connectivity as a number of handsets from companies including Apple and Samsung are yet to support 5G networks in the country. A software fix should immediately enable tens of millions of handsets in the country to support 5G, analysts say. India’s 5G smartphone installed base, though, crossed 50 million units in late July, according to analyst firm Hong Kong-based Counterpoint.

Some phones already support 5G in India. Select handsets from Chinese companies including Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi support local 5G networks, according to carrier Airtel. India’s telecom and IT departments did not share any specifics about the meeting at the time of filing this article. Apple and Samsung did not immediately respond to queries about their plans to release software updates.
