The 5G trials in India have begun on the government-regulated 5G spectrum & the network giant Vodafone- Idea has been allocated cities like Pune and Gandhinagar to proceed.

The company has been allocated mmWave high bands like 26 GHz and the 3.5 GHz spectrum band for the 5G trials. The specialty of mmWave is that it delivers a wide spectrum, shortest distance capacity, and lower latencies for 5G.

So, according to these features, Vi got a peak speed excess of 3.7 Gbps with low latency in the mmWave spectrum, in Pune. The speeds were achieved with state-of-the-art equipment in 5G Non-Standalone network architecture and using NR Radios.

Pertaining to its other partners, Vi collaborated with OEM and achieved speeds of 1.5 Gbps in the 3.5 GHz band, in both Gandhinagar & Pune. Simultaneously, they are testing NextGen 5G technology for a super high-quality digital experience in the country.

The high speed & low latency in 5G contribute to improved video streaming, broadcast, AR & VR, and also the ambitious smart factory project in India. To know more uses of 5G, read: 5G in Cloud Gaming.

It also has the capability to build Industry 4.0 and 5G smart cities as soon as the end of the trial.
