Airtel 5G Plus has just launched in Shillong. This is the 34th city Airtel has reached with its 5G networks. Since Airtel is deploying 5G NSA (non-standalone) networks, the telco can make its 5G work on top of the existing 4G infrastructure. Airtel’s 5G Plus networks can deliver around 20 to 30 times faster speeds than the current 4G networks. With the latest announcement in Shillong, the telco is showing its commitment towards bringing fast network services in north east India. Let’s check out the areas where Airtel’s 5G is now live in Shillong.
Airtel 5G Plus Covered Areas in Shillong
Airtel 5G Plus is available in the following areas of Shillong: Laitumukhrah, Lapalang, Nongrah, Governor House, Lummawbah, Jaiaw Laitdom, Pines colony (Laban Red Cross), Mawpat, Riat Sohkhlur and a few other locations. The telco said that in the due course of time, it would also launch 5G in other areas of Shillong.
Bharti Airtel wants to cover the entire country with its 5G Plus by March 2024. This is a goal that seems possible now because of the speed at which Airtel is launching 5G in different parts of the nation.
