Vi Expands 5G Network to Stadiums

It’s worth noting that Airtel, in March 2025, also announced enhancements to its network infrastructure at stadiums across India ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which began on March 22.

Currently, the India T20 league—held annually from March to May—is being played at these venues. To ensure a seamless 5G experience in high-footfall areas like stadiums, Vi said it has deployed additional 5G network sites and strengthened its infrastructure using technologies such as BTS and Massive MIMO.

According to Vi, these network expansions are designed to provide the best digital experience, ensuring that fans enjoy fast and reliable connectivity, even in jam-packed stadiums. In the vicinity of these stadiums, Vi has installed a total of 53 5G sites, enhanced capacity at 44 locations, and deployed 9 Cell On Wheels (CoWs) to keep fans connected.
