Airtel 5G now covers all of Karnataka’s 31 districts

Airtel’s 5G offering, which began rolling out in October last year, is now available in all 31 districts in Karnataka, the company said in a press statement on Thursday. This also includes tourist destinations like Hampi and the state’s highest peak Mullayanagiri in Chikmagalur.

The telecom operator also claimed to have 5.1 million users of this service in the state. Last month, Airtel had announced that unique 5G users on its network had crossed the 50 million mark pan-India, out of the total 244 million subscribers it has in the country.

“We were the first telco to deploy high-speed 5G technology in the state,” Airtel’s Karnataka chief executive Vivek Mehendiratta said in a statement.
