Airtel has also revealed that in December it will roll out 5G in key metro cities, which could be Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. The telecom operator aims to deliver 5G services throughout the conurbation by 2023. This will eventually be extended to more regions.
In a letter, Gopal Vittal said, "Within a few weeks, we will begin the rollout of our next-generation technology, Airtel 5G."
When the Airtel 5G rollout official begins, people will be able to see if their city and smartphone are eligible for the new network through the Airtel Thanks app. Airtel has revealed that users will not need a new 5G SIM to access 5G services.
