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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/india\/india-press-apple-samsung-faster-5g-software-upgrades-phones-2022-10-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">first reported<\/a> about the meeting on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>After much anticipation, Reliance Jio and Airtel <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2022\/08\/29\/reliance-jio-to-debut-5g-in-october-reach-all-by-2023-end\/\">launched<\/a> their 5G services in select cities earlier this month. Vodafone Idea \u2014 the third private player in the country\u2019s telecom sector \u2014 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/telecom-diary-bsnl-racing-against-time-to-launch-4g-even-as-5g-arrives\/94726209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">yet to bring pan-India coverage<\/a> of its 4G network.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s 5G smartphone installed base, though, crossed 50 million units in late July, according to analyst firm Hong Kong-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.counterpointresearch.com\/india-smartphone-shipments-decline-5-qoq-5g-smartphone-installed-base-crosses-50-million\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Counterpoint<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A report on Tuesday also showed that Reliance Jio recorded almost 600 Mbps median download speed on its 5G network in Delhi, while India\u2019s overall 5G speed hit 500 Mbps as the country rolled out 5G services.<\/p>\n<p>Some phones already support 5G in India. Select handsets from Chinese companies including Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi support local 5G networks, according to carrier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtel.in\/airtel-5g-handsets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Airtel<\/a>. India\u2019s telecom and IT departments did not share any specifics about the meeting at the time of filing this article.
