Airtel surpasses 1.7 million unique 5G users in Kerala within a year of launch

Bharti Airtel, commonly referred to as “Airtel”, one of India’s premier telecommunications giants, unveiled a significant milestone today: a staggering 1.7 million 5G users in Kerala. What’s even more remarkable? This figure was achieved within just a year following the introduction of their Airtel 5G Plus service.

Statewide 5G Accessibility in Kerala by Airtel

Airtel’s rapid expansion in the 5G domain is commendable. Their services now cover every nook and cranny of Kerala. Be it the picturesque locales of Vembanad Lake, the idyllic Mararikulam, Munnar’s verdant tea gardens, the sun-kissed beaches of Kovalam, or the historically rich precincts of Fort Kochi – Airtel’s 5G services are omnipresent. Taking their services a notch higher, Airtel has seamlessly integrated the newly inaugurated Water metro stations in Kochi and the renowned Bolgatty Island onto their expansive 5G grid.

Amit Gupta Reflects on Airtel’s 5G Journey

Amit Gupta, COO Kerala at Bharti Airtel, weighed in on this monumental achievement. He remarked, “We were the first telco to deploy high‐speed 5G technology in the state, and today we are delighted to be playing an important role in connecting lives of our customers. We thank all our 1.7 million customers for embracing Airtel 5G Plus network. We continue to set the industry pace with unparalleled growth in 5G customers, prioritizing cutting‐edge 5G technology and customer satisfaction. Our 5G landscape has the state’s widest, quickest, and most dependable network, encompassing all 14 districts.”

Airtel’s Cutting-Edge 5G Innovations

Over the last 365 days, Airtel has consistently showcased its prowess in the 5G sector. Their innovative forays range from pioneering India’s first private 5G network at Bengaluru’s BOSCH facility to transforming Mahindra & Mahindra’s Chakan unit into the country’s premier 5G-enabled auto manufacturing facility. Further solidifying their position in the market, Airtel launched the groundbreaking Airtel Xstream Air Fiber, India’s first-ever wireless home Wi‐Fi service powered by Airtel 5G Plus, in Delhi & Mumbai.
