Good News for Telecom Users: Jio 5G and Airtel 5G are Now Available in More Than 500 Cities Pan-India!

Good News for Telecom Users:-

The time has finally come! The much-awaited next generation of the mobile network is now available in the country, with more than 500 cities offering Jio 5G and Airtel 5G services. 

The availability was Never in doubt, given the unveiling of 5G services in India by PM Modi during the India Mobile Congress on October 1, 2022. Notably, the only doubt netizens had was "when" would the 5G services be available!

Telecom giants Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio have since then rapidly increased their 5G base across India, reaching more than 500 cities in several states. According to reports, both the Jio 5G and Airtel 5G services are free of cost, at least to date.

It is interesting to note that Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are using "separate strategies to deploy 5G services." According to experts in the industry, the differences in the policies and experience are a result of "individual legacies" and "dissimilar audience base."

On the one hand, Reliance Jio is limiting the number of users signing up for the 5G services by implementing "invite-only" policies. On the other hand, Bharti Airtel has deployed a non-standalone network, which means that the network is still "LTE with some of the 5G radio."

The spectrum used by Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel is also different, resulting in one being faster than the other.

With other potential players like Vodafone Idea and BSNL looking to enter the 5G market, the onus will also lie on Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel to maintain its quality and accessibility!

All in all, the availability of Jio 5G and Airtel 5G in more than 500 cities in India is a significant leap for the country. With the rapid development in the sector, the 5G services will reach every corner of India in no time.
