Airtel’s Initial Plan
The 5G service from telecom provider Airtel will debut this month. The business had already provided information on this. The company has previously stated that the 5G service will debut in August.
The debut of Airtel’s 5G service this month does not imply that the 5G service will be accessible nationwide. It used to be available only in major cities. This service is available wherever the 5G pilot test has been successful. By the end of this year, Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities will have access to Airtel’s 5G service. India-wide 5G service from Airtel may not be available before March 2024.
