Well-prepared to launch 5G services on time: Telcos

Telecom operators Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea on Monday said that with their latest purchase of spectrum, they are well-prepared to launch 5G services within the government’s desired time-frame. They also said that by filling the gaps in their existing spectrum holding, existing services will improve further.

Jio, which emerged as the highest purchaser in the spectrum auction, said it acquired spectrum in the 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 3300 MHz and 26 GHz bands, which will enable it “to build the world’s most advanced 5G network”.
