In a major landmark, Sunil Mittal-led telecom major Bharti Airtel said on Thursday that it has &ldquo;become the country&rsquo;s first telco to successfully demonstrate and orchestrate LIVE 5G service over a commercial network in Hyderabad city.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
&ldquo;Airtel 5G is capable of delivering 10x speeds, 10x latency and 100x concurrency when compared to existing technologies. Specifically, in Hyderabad, users were able to download a full length movie in a matter of seconds on a 5G phone. This demonstration has underlined the company&rsquo;s technology capabilities. The full impact of the 5G experience, however, will be available to our customers, when adequate spectrum is available and government approvals received,&rdquo; the company said in a statement.</p>
<p>
Airtel did this over its existing liberalised spectrum in the 1800 MHz band through the NSA (Non Stand Alone) network technology. Using a first of its kind, dynamic spectrum sharing, Airtel seamlessly operated 5G and 4G concurrently within the same spectrum block. This demonstration has emphatically validated the 5G readiness of Airtel&rsquo;s network across all domains – radio, core and transport, the statement added.</p>
<p>
Gopal Vittal, MD &amp; CEO, Bharti Airtel said: &ldquo;Every one of our investments is future proofed as this game changing test in Hyderabad proves. We believe India has the potential to become a global hub for 5G innovation.&rdquo;</p>
