Bharti Airtel has registered more than 1 million unique 5G users on its network in less than 30 days of the commercial launch. This took place even while the network has been under construction.
In a statement, the company said, "Bharti Airtel… today announced that it has crossed the 1 million unique 5G user mark on its network. The company achieved this milestone in less than 30 days of its commercial launch even as the network is being built.”
Randeep Sekhon, Chief Technology Officer of Bharti Airtel, said these are early days but the response from customers has been "very encouraging".
"Our network is being built every day even as all 5G devices are now capable of working on the Airtel 5G Plus network barring a few exceptions which should also be done in the coming weeks," Sekhon said.
The Airtel senior executive further added, "We will continue to advance our network with a vision to connect the entire country."
Reportedly, all 5 G-enabled smartphones, except Apple's iPhones, will start supporting Airtel 5G services by the middle of November.
It is to be noted that although Airtel is providing 5G services at 4G rates it is likely to take a call on the pricing of the next-generation services in the next 6-9 months.
