Bharti Airtel has kicked off its 5G trial network in Gurugram just a little over a month after the government gave its go-ahead to telecom operators in India to carry out trials on the next-generation cellular network technology.
The 5G trial network is now live in Gurugram's Cyber Hub. Airtel is delivering its 5G network during the trial at a speed of over 1Gbps. This is significantly faster over what consumers normally get on a 4G network in the country.
For now, Airtel customers will not be able to experience the 5G network during the trial even if they have a compatible smartphone, as the government's rules do not allow testing with end users.
Airtel received 5G trial spectrum in 3500MHz, 28GHz, and 700MHz bands in Delhi/ NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru.
