Bharti Airtel conducts India's first rural 5G trial along with Ericsson
Telecom operator Bharti Airtel and equipment maker Ericsson on Tuesday said they had conducted India’s first 5G network trial in a rural location, and were able to clock speeds exceeding 100 Mbps speeds at a distance of more than 10 km from the site.
The demonstration took place in Bhaipur Bramanan village on the outskirts of Delhi-NCR using 5G trial spectrum allocated to Bharti by the Department of Telecom.
Bharti Airtel said it believed that once 5G spectrum is auctioned, networks can go live within six months and cover a large portion of the country within a year. Speaking to reporters, Randeep Sekhon, chief technology officer, Bharti Airtel said that assuming auctions happen early next year, “a quarter or two quarters from that, we should start seeing 5G networks getting live across India.”
