Vodafone Idea (Vi) will launch high-speed 5G services in Delhi NCR on May 15, as part of its ongoing nationwide 5G rollout. Finally, high-speed internet will be available to Vi users in Delhi. Up until now, Vi 5G was accessible in the cities of Patna, Chandigarh, and Mumbai. By the end of August, the company intends to have 5G spectrum in all 17 priority circles.
In a press release, the telecom operator has also stated that the network in Delhi NCR is being developed in partnership with Ericsson, featuring energy-efficient infrastructure and AI AI-powered Self-Organising Network for better performance. Interestingly, just like Airtel, the Vi 5G network uses a 5G Non-StandAlone (NSA) architecture, offering a smoother transition between 4G and 5G for users.
