5G services in India
India’s long-awaited 5G spectrum auction was completed in August 2022 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially launched 5G services on October 1 of that year. Only two of India’s three major telecom providers are now offering 5G services. Using non-standalone access (NSA) technology, Airtel was the first to make a commercial entry. Jio, in contrast, has chosen to deploy 5G Independent Access (SA) and is currently the only Indian operator using the 700 MHz band (5G low-band spectrum).
