Airtel Becomes India's First Telco To Manifest live 5G Services
Airtel on January 28 became India’s first telecommunications company to manifest live 5G service, successfully proving its 5G readiness across all domains. By employing Non-standalone (NSA) technology, Airtel orchestrated the 5G network over its existing liberalised spectrum in the 1800 MHz band. Additionally, the telco used dynamic spectrum sharing to operate 5G and 4G connections simultaneously from the same spectrum block. The demonstration transpired over a commercial network in Hyderabad.
