Airtel kicks off 5G trial network in Gurugram with over 1Gbps speed, but you can’t try it yet

Bharti Airtel has taken on Jio as it kicked off its 5G trials in Gurugram. These trials have been started just a little over a month after the Indian government gave a green signal to telecom operators in the country to hold trials for the next-generation cellular network tech – 5G. Airtel is giving its 5G network at a maximum speed of over 1Gbps and the site where the trial is running is operating in the 3500MHz band. Just earlier this year, Airtel has demonstrated its 5G network using liberalised spectrum in the 1800MHz band, as per reports.

According to reports, Airtel’s 5G trial network is now live in Gurugram’s popular Cyber Hub and the company is testing the network in partnership with Swedish equipment maker Ericsson.
