Bharti airtel entered the field with a plan. Bharti airtel, India's 2nd largest telecom operator has launched its 5g service in 8 major cities of the country. This 30-day Bharti airtel has announced that it has gained 1 million i.e. more than 10 lakh customers. airtel has launched its 5g service in only a few countries, but the response from customers has been very good. We are continuously upgrading our network so that all 5g devices in india can use airtel 5g Plus network service soon.
Randeep Sekhon, Chief technology Officer of Bharti airtel, said that they are upgrading the network to provide 5g services across the country soon. reliance jio has not yet released official data on 5g customers. airtel has provided airtel 5g services in eight cities in india including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Varanasi, Nagpur, and Siliguri. As these cities have cell sites only in some areas, customers are getting 5g service only in some areas.
As airtel continues to improve its network for 5g service, the company said that it is planning to gradually introduce 5g service in 8 cities and other parts of the country where it is currently served. airtel has decided to purchase telecom equipment from nokia, Ericsson, and samsung for its 5g service. Bharti airtel has bagged a deal worth around $2.5 billion for 5g telecom equipment.
Indian telecom companies have been ordered to purchase telecom equipment only from companies certified by the central government as 'trusted sources' as 'trusted products' due to various doubts related to cyber security by Chinese telecom equipment manufacturers.
Trusted Sources' lack of a 'trusted product' tag has left India's booming 5g services unmarketed. As a result, these two Chinese companies have laid off 90 percent of the employees assigned to their indian business.
