Bharti Airtel, a leading telecom operator in India, is powering the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) venue with its 5G Plus networks. Earlier today, Airtel announced that it had launched 5G Plus services in 3 cities of Rajasthan – Jaipur, Udaipur and Kota. Airtel also said it is powering the JLF venue with its 5G networks, where thousands of attendees would be present. JLF is a five-day event where top names from the literature world will be present. All the attendees of the event would be able to access Airtel 5G Plus on their smartphones.
To use 5G, Airtel users don’t need to change their SIM if they already own a 4G SIM with an active plan. But users having legacy SIMs for 2G/3G services would have to upgrade to a 4G SIM which is 5G ready as well. Existing data plans will work on 5G Plus until roll-out is complete and Airtel 5G Plus now works on all Android and Apple supported 5G devices.
Any attendee of the event with an Airtel 4G SIM and an active plan would be able to latch on to the telco’s 5G networks if he/she owns a 5G phone that supports 5G NSA (non-standalone). Airtel is deploying 5G NSA throughout India, and most of the 5G smartphones in the market already support it. With Airtel 5G Plus, super-fast download speeds are possible. Airtel customers on 5G can enjoy 20 to 30 times faster download speeds than customers on the 4G networks.
