While there have been a lot of speculations about the rollout of 5G services in India in the recent past, an exact time of arrival wasn’t known. It seems like we have one now as the Department of Telecom (DoT) recently stated that it will start rolling out 5G in metro cities, including, Delhi, Mumbai, and more in 2022.
Various telecom operators have established 5G trial sites in cities like Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Bengaluru, Gurugram, and Gandhinagar.
For those who don’t know, the Indigenous 5G Test bed project enables telecom operators to develop, test, and expand 5G services in metro cities in India. We have seen various operators like Airtel and Jio conduct 5G tests in the country.
