Airtel has proudly announced the completion of its 5G spectrum rollout in the 26GHz range, following in the footsteps of Jio’s recent announcement. This action falls in line with the guidelines established by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and represents a notable stride ahead for Airtel’s 5G services. The rollout spans across 22 telecom circles, mirroring Jio’s coverage.
Airtel’s endeavor into the mmWave 5G spectrum promises enhanced speeds, which is poised to elevate the overall 5G experience for users, including those on the Airtel 5G Plus network. “The company aims to utilize the 26GHz spectrum to drive innovation and deliver exceptional 5G Plus experiences to its customer base.”
The 26GHz mmWave 5G spectrum, positioned as the highest 5G band range, primarily caters to business needs rather than commercial use. Its potential for faster speeds, wider bandwidths, and low latency holds great promise, benefitting a broader audience.
Airtel had previously conducted testing of the 26GHz mmWave and 3300 MHz bands in specific regions. The telecom giant initiated its 5G rollout in October of the previous year, attracting approximately 10 million users since then across roughly 3500 cities. To further entice adoption, Airtel has introduced unlimited 5G Plus options integrated with existing plans.
