Airtel became the country’s first company to successfully demonstrate and orchestrate live 5G service over a commercial network in Hyderabad city. Airtel 5G is touted to deliver 10 times the speed of existing network technologies.

Taking on the rival Reliance Jio, the Airtel stated that it operated 5G and 4G concurrently over the existing liberalised spectrum in the 1800MHz band through the Non-Standalone (NSA) network technology. Airtel 5G will deliver 10 times the speed of existing network technologies which will allow users to download a movie in just a few seconds on a 5G phone.

Airtel worked with its equipment partner Ericsson to provide the new experience. Airtel claimed that it had the capability to operate its 5G network over the existing technology-neutral spectrum in mid-bands that are at 1800MHz, 2100MHz, and 2300MHz frequency alongside the sub-GHz bands available at 800MHz and 900MHz. Customer can experience the full impact of the 5G experience when adequate spectrum is available and government approvals are received.
