India among top-3 nations with highest 5G base, roll-out remarkable: Nokia CEO

The 5G network roll-out in India has been remarkable and the country is among the top-three nations with the largest 5G installed base in the world, a top Nokia official said.

Nokia President and CEO Pekka Lundmark was addressing an event during the inauguration of the company’s 6G research lab in Bengaluru on Thursday.

“5G roll-out in India is truly remarkable. This has been one of the fastest telecom network roll-outs ever and means India is now among the top three countries in the world that have the largest 5G installed base, with 5G download speeds beating those found in many advanced markets,” Lundmark said.
