Dixon Technology has reportedly started manufacturing 5G millimetre waves smartphones which will be the first set of devices in the segment to be exported from India. To this end, Dixon has set up a manufacturing unit with an annual capacity of 7 million 5G millimetre (mm) phones and is setting up another factory with annual capacity of 30 million smartphones in Noida.
The Orbic Myra 5G UW smartphone can operate in high frequency bands and is the first smartphone that has been partly designed in India. The 5G millimetre phone can theoretically provide speed of up to 5 Gbps on a phone which is over 250 times faster compared to top speed of 4G mobile connection recorded in India.
The company has secured a contract from US-based Orbic which sells smart devices for US-based telecom operators.
