Airtel 5G Plus Launch In India, Speeds & Your Questions Answered

**The Future of 5G: A Revolution in Speed and Connectivity**

As we stand at the threshold of the next generation of wireless technology, 5G is poised to change the way we live, work, and communicate. With its unprecedented speed, capacity, and low latency, 5G promises to revolutionize the way we experience mobile internet. In this article, we'll delve into the possibilities and benefits of 5G, exploring how it will transform our daily lives.

**The Limitations of 4G**

Currently, our 4G networks are congested, with a limited amount of spectrum available in each circle. This means that users are competing for bandwidth, resulting in slower speeds and dropped calls. With the advent of 5G, we can expect to see a significant increase in spectrum capacity, allowing more devices to connect simultaneously without compromising on performance. "We have centralized spectrum between us and our competition," notes an industry expert. "With one jump of 5G, 100 megawatts or more spectrum is coming in every second using efficient technologies like massive MIMO." This means that towers will be able to support more devices, resulting in faster speeds and lower latency.

**Prioritization and Slicing**

One of the key features of 5G is its ability to prioritize traffic based on user needs. This means that users can opt-in for a specific type of service, such as video streaming or gaming, which will be prioritized over other types of traffic. The technology also employs slicing, which allows for the creation of separate networks for different use cases. For example, a crane operator might require a high-availability network for their equipment, while a gamer might prioritize low latency and high speed. This flexibility will enable industries to optimize their networks for specific applications.

**The Benefits for Common Users**

While some users may be interested in slicing and prioritization, most common users will benefit from the increased speed and lower latency offered by 5G. According to experts, "latency is so low that you really don't need that slicing" for everyday use. Android's new versions are already showcasing work-and-play features, which will make a significant difference in the user experience. Even basic applications like messaging and social media will see improvements.

**Affordability and Access**

One of the most exciting aspects of 5G is its potential to democratize access to high-speed internet. With 4G networks already widespread, we can expect 5G devices to be more affordable, with laptops potentially priced at $6,000 or less. This will enable people in rural villages to access education, healthcare, and other essential services, bridging the digital divide.

**The Potential for Education and Industry**

As one industry expert notes, "rural Villages cannot dream of a high-speed internet" today, but 5G will change that. With cloud computing and 5G connectivity, laptops can become affordable tools for education and remote work. This will have a profound impact on industries like healthcare, education, and agriculture, enabling people to access critical services from anywhere.

**Conclusion**

As we embark on the next chapter in wireless technology, 5G promises to revolutionize the way we live, work, and communicate. With its unprecedented speed, capacity, and low latency, 5G will enable new use cases, improve existing ones, and democratize access to high-speed internet. While some industries may require slicing and prioritization, most common users will benefit from the increased performance. As one expert puts it, "I think this revolution will take a couple of years" to become mainstream, but when it does, we can expect a fundamental shift in the way we experience mobile internet.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso guys I'm in New Delhi at the Airtel even where they actually unveiled the 5G class and as you can see a lot of media people at the back they're doing demos and stuff I've got my personal device also luckily with my sim uh regular rated Sim I'm getting 5G so I'll show you that uh Rajiv is here Rajiv are you getting 50 on your personal Sim yeah yeah so yes no change nothing started just started working so if you're in the eight cities as of now uh just check I'll leave the list over here in some areas spiky will come no need to upgrade yourself nothing nothing to do that so we'll do some tests and do a lot of crowd over there then it gets settled then we'll go over there before I show you the 5G speeds and all those things Mr randeep uh who's the CTO of atel was also there and they actually revealed the new network that is will be called Airtel 5G plus and they were talking about the 5G Tech used in India by Airtel this is supposed to be the widest accepted 5G Tech using the 3500 megahertz I'll talk I'll show you that later on I'll talk about that in fact they were also telling that the 5D speeds will be about 20 to 30 times more than 4G speeds that you are getting as of now and also the tech that they are using is a lot more environmental friendly I also got to interview Mr randeep second who's the CT of atel and I'm actually got some answers to very interesting questions but before that let's see the speed test okay this is over I mean we just did a test six it came actually much better for me this is xkt I think so many people were testing at that time but this is actually pretty good because everyone is actually testing so pretty nice I was testing when no one was testing it but good yeah so I was expecting okay I think this is the standard score I think I would say yeah let's run it let's run it again they have some other devices or these are our personal devices no this is the x80 Vivo x80 oh side by side let's see which one okay so this is getting better surprise 253 I got here and okay now you're just pick it up oh yeah at least 300 game huh yeah so again it depends on devices parents this is really oh 900. you can in fact try doing one let's try this because I was getting on my phones only about 500 400 which x80 Vivo x80 Pro oh wow Airtel fiber I get 8 28 30 of that not bad not bad and by the way there are some sandwiches just happening okay obviously everybody is testing right now oh it goes it was a jam-packed even a lot of friendly faces and people from media were there at the event so hi guys I'm with uh the city of A10 and thank you sir for taking out the time today that 5G plus has been revealed and it's starting with eight cities one big thing also came to know is that users don't have to upgrade to 5G or a special song existing 4G all subscribers doesn't just work yes the same thing is regarding the uh we are going to have different for different regions or like areas or something like that so the band is 3500 okay so the frequency which we have is I think half of the country has some part of 3500 but it doesn't really matter because it is okay across uh of all the country so basically uh I'll get a little technical so that means uh 5G is smartphone that has the n78 band with this one yes we just need that one band yeah oh that's actually a great thing yeah so because what I've seen I review a lot of smartphones uh uh most of even the basic smartphones that start 15 16 that have n78 100 of the devices support n78 because that's the most common band in the world rest all Bands then start becoming lower and lower performance and I was watching a presentation uh where you guys were stressing that uh your current technology whatever you have is more power efficiency uh can you talk a little bit more about it power efficient in the sense you can depends upon for 5G two parts 5G how much equipment are you putting on the tower okay that will be the additional power okay and is that equipment power efficient okay so we are using really very efficient power radios okay and we are using optimal number of radios on the side without revealing and so that we just bring little bit more power but we create a lot of capacities one another thing about fighting people misunderstand they only talk about speed speed but I believe 5G will also uh be consistent Network and the reach will be a lot more uh I mean let's say a 4G card please correct me if I'm wrong a 4G Tower can support that is just about let's say 5000 5G can support a lot more so thereby hopefully we'll have less conversion will that be a true or not it's 100 true because uh our 4G is congested because the Spectrum photo Spectrum we have in any Circle because we have centralized spectrum is 55 to 65 whether it is us or our competition this is the Spectrum we have right so in that all these users are there but with one jump of 5G 100 megawatts or more spectrum is coming in every second okay so and then it is coming using an efficient technology like massive memo which you are using so which means a lot of more capacity will get into the same Tower which means you can support many movies I really you guys will also be supporting networks twice yeah so uh how does it do you prioritize based on what profit is being used let's say in like or user have to opt-in or is it automatic is it slicing really speaking if I tell you is more of industrial use okay where you can slice for a very high availability kind of a service for example it could be uh cranes boom which you are normally controlling where you will want it to be separate for a common user this slice could mean that when I'm wanting to play a game okay without gaming okay you know then I want that service okay so you can probably operate but generally if you ask me for normal person 5G speed and other thing is way higher because it latency is so low and so low so you really don't need that slicing is generally for smaller applications but normal person can also start seeing uh like a work and play applications like like Android in the new version are bringing a work and play kind of uh so if you're doing a video call for your work you'll probably have a better experience than if you have a problem sending a message something so it is there but for common man okay it really doesn't doesn't it's really good enough to get a good speed okay okay so one more question that I had and I'm getting this from a lot of users this is regarding the fight foreign that's actually a very good because I'm not also worried to keep ID pricing will be way over the top so thanks for confirming that sir I think a lot of users will be happy having that and do you think like from your point of view we have seen a huge shift from that 3G to 4G uh the Broadband penetration the digital presentation I would say in India started from 4G so fighting from your point of view what is the one one or two big things do you think that might change you see when we were coming from 2G to 3G nobody knew what we are doing with this data right except for sending a photograph yeah I know and then from 3 G to 4G again people did not know what do I do then all these videos came on the Fly you have you can watch anything you can send anything all the messaging we have all the social media we have is there right I would take first first thing in next one one and a half years 5G will raise again so wherever we find 4G is limiting us for example if you are recording this video you want to send it right now you cannot do unless you go to a business center but you can do it with this so it will raise the game for your basic what you are doing then I think it will be honest on our sentence how we can use this five by high speed internet to do things new things new stuff so while there can be fun things but I would believe for example let's take part one use case education in uh rural Villages today rural Villages cannot dream of a high-speed internet they would have it on their phones or some you know and they cannot afford a point-to-point link but with 4G simple 5G movement from 4GB 5G they can have all the content being played to their kids on just a screen because you don't even need a processor you just need something to play and imagine what it can yeah I believe yeah the laptops can become very very affordable six seven thousand dollars that's it and all the process is cloud computing I think so that is one big thing people don't think about it that will become yes it's a reality but it will become even more mainstream I agree I agree so the device we hold will be very affordable because the processor which we need is not needed here just is being processed in the cloud and 5G is connecting you to the cloud and then you are just rendering it on your device so I think that this revolution will take a couple of years and I think it will take a couple of years us for mainstream users apart from doing speed test so appreciate what will come I think so because I think the possibilities thank you sir thank youso guys I'm in New Delhi at
