The problem now is the coverage and the quality of services, even though the telcos are deploying 5G at the fastest rate feasible to more and more locations every week
Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, the two telecom service providers (TSPs), will be called by the centre soon to discuss the uneven 5G coverage in the metropolitan areas. The administration will also review the upcoming nationwide rollout of 5G at the same conference.
Reportedly in cities where Jio and Airtel have introduced their 5G services, average levels of 5G connectivity have increased. Yet, according to officials as per a business standard report, th administration wants to talk about the significant connectivity gap in many locations.
Customers are currently only getting 5G services from Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, the two top cellular providers in the country. Unlimited 5G data is being made available to 4G customers for no extra charge until 5G services are more widespread nationwide.
Call dropouts and disconnections have been a common complaint among users ever since the carriers began rolling out 5G. However, there are numerous gaps in 5G coverage throughout the nation's urban centers.
The problem now is the coverage and the quality of services, even though the telcos are deploying 5G at the fastest rate feasible to more and more locations every week. The industry regulator has already discussed with the telecom operators how to preserve the Quality of Services(QoS).
Finding solutions to the issue of the 5G coverage variations in numerous urban regions is anticipated to be the main topic of discussionat the meeting. Yet, at this moment, a customer's desire would be to avoid issues like call dropouts and recurrent disconnections rather than enjoy the high speed of 5G. The 5G networks are being optimised by the carriers, but it might take some time. It is crucial to remember that Jio and Airtel each have unique 5G deployment models and utilize various types of technologies. Airtel is deploying its 5G network in the Non-standalone model whereas Jio is deploying its 5G under the Standalone mode.
Millions of customers living around the country are now using 5G, surpassing everyone's assumptions set by the telecoms. It would be intriguing to grasp if the government exerts pressure on them to extend 5G coverage further in every place where it has already been introduced and whether or not the telcos, in coordination with the government come-up with a solution for the major call drop and network gap issue being faced in many areas.
