Airtel has taken the tests even one step above and proved that the mobile gaming use case on its 5G network is successful. There was an underlying concern with 5G though.

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel might be concerned about Alliance Broadband’s 100 Mbps plan.

The company’s 100 Mbps subscription has a lot of great features in addition to the OTT advantages....

Bharti Airtel, the second-largest telecom operator in India, is going to announce something big today. The telco shared in a tweet saying “Coming Soon” at 6 PM on October 6. Airtel has just announced ‘Airtel 5G Plus’; the announcement could be related to that only.
