Tuesday saw the introduction of 5G services by Airtel in Indore. The telecom provider stated in a statement that until the rollout is more extensive, consumers with 5G-capable devices would have access to the high-speed Airtel 5G Plus network at no additional cost.
The statement continued, "Airtel will augment its network making its services available across the city in due course of time. Currently operational at Vijay Nagar, Rasoma chowk, Bombay Hospital Square, Radisson square, Khajrana area, Sadar Bazaar, Gita Bhawan, Panchsheel Nagar, Abhinandan Nagar, Patrakar colony, Yeshwant road, Phoenix Citadel mall, and few other select locations.
According to the release, Airtel 5G Plus service would improve the telco's overall service portfolio.
"Airtel users may now experience ultrafast network and enjoy speeds up to 20-30 times quicker than the present 4G speeds," said Sujay Chakrabarti, CEO of Bharti Airtel in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
In order to provide users with ultrafast access to high-definition video streaming, gaming, multiple chatting, and immediate photo uploading, among other things, the firm is in the midst of lighting up the whole city, Chakrabarti stated.
Following rollouts in a few regions of Visakhapatnam, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Imphal, Shimla, Lucknow, and Pune, Airtel announced the debut of its 5G network services in Jammu and Srinagar last month.
In the meantime, rival Reliance Jio also declared the debut of its 5G services in 11 cities, including Lucknow, Trivandrum, Mysuru, Nashik, Aurangabad, and Chandigarh, as part of its largest multi-state rollout.
Apple stated in December that Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel customers in India would soon be able to use official 5G functionality on their iPhones. All iPhones running iOS 16.2 will be able to access 5G services in places with coverage.
