Bharti Airtel has become the first company in the country to have a 5G network facility and has also done live testing. The company recently upgraded its network inside Hyderabad to 5G mode and offered 5G speed to everyone. It was on trial. The company has upgraded its network and towers accordingly, to work on 4G as well as 5G technology.
A statement issued by Airtel Company said that the company has upgraded 4G technology as well as 5G technology on the 1800MHz band, due to which small changes will allow the company to provide network facility in 5G mode. We do not yet have spectrum nor the Government of India has taken any final decision in this direction. Therefore, once the spectrum is made available by the Government of India, we will completely switch to 5G network.

We have got a 5G technology based framework ready in a very short time and we are the first in India to do so. That is why we tested this facility in Hyderabad, which resulted in very good results. The company quoted some customers as saying that they had downloaded the entire film in just a few seconds on the 5G network.
Airtel company has changed its technology in such a way that the company will be able to enter 5G mode in no time. Airtel will get 10 times more speed in 5G mode. However, after getting orders from the government and after getting 5G spectrum, we will start 5G service for all our customers.
Bharti Airtel MD and CEO Gopal Vittal said that our engineers have worked hard day and night to show that we have the capability to provide 5G technology based service. We have always been at the forefront of facilitating customers. He said that we are confident that India can emerge as a global hub in 5G technology.
