The Delhi Metro, renowned for its efficiency and convenience, is embarking on a transformative journey to bring the power of 5G connectivity to its extensive network. A substantial leap towards a digitally connected future, a report from TheHindu confirms that 29 out of the 69 underground stations have already been upgraded with the essential infrastructure to facilitate seamless 5G connectivity. The report said, according to a senior official from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), a significant milestone has been achieved with the deployment of a 5G-compatible in-building solution in these upgraded stations.
This strategic move demonstrates the DMRC's commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements and enhancing the travel experience for its passengers. The process involves the incorporation of 3,300-3,600 MHz cards in repeaters within tunnel sections to ensure comprehensive 5G coverage. These cards are progressively being installed and commissioned, paving the way for an internet experience that is both lightning-fast and stable. Once these installations are successfully completed across all underground stations, further upgrades will be unnecessary, ensuring commuters have access to seamless 5G connectivity without interruption.

However, while the DMRC is making remarkable strides towards establishing a 5G-enabled metro network, the timeline for the full implementation of this groundbreaking initiative is yet to be finalised. The complexity of the project, along with the meticulous planning and execution involved, necessitates careful consideration before announcing a completion date. As of now, 29 stations have successfully integrated the infrastructure required to support 5G technology. The remaining stations are undergoing upgrades facilitated by the DMRC's infrastructure providers and are projected to be fully equipped within the next four months.
In a world where staying connected is increasingly essential, the Delhi Metro's endeavour to embrace 5G technology is a testament to its commitment to serving as more than just a mode of transportation.
