Push begins for 5G in Delhi, L-G to chair meeting next week

Delhiites could soon enjoy high-speed 5G network connectivity as work has begun to assess how infrastructure can be upgraded – from departments and buildings where smaller ‘cells’ sites can be put up to street furniture where smaller ‘cells’ can be installed to bolster the network.

Small cell sites are basically meant to enhance the network in areas with high density of mobile phones, such as the crowded Chandni Chowk market or a stadium that accommodates thousands or a Metro station like Rajiv Chowk.

Major agencies and departments such as the Delhi Police, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and other departments which currently use 4G network will completely shift to 5G network once the project is rolled out.
