Title: Airtel joins the Tata Group to introduce 5G
description: Airtel has joined hands with Tata Group to implement 5G networks based on Open-RAN. As part of the above-mentioned partnership, Airtel plans to implement domestic solutions developed by the Tata Group. The pilot project is expected to start in January next year. We learned that the Tata group has already developed a state-of-the-art radio core and NSA / SA based on O-RAN technology.
The company also consolidated the telecommunications stack through its capabilities. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) takes advantage of Global Systems Integration, which helps with both 3GPP and O-RAN standards. It is worth noting that these 5G products have been developed according to global standards. 5G solutions are expected to help increase export opportunities.
Some time ago, the company conducted tests with its own, native 5G equipment. The company made products with local companies. Continued cooperation with Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung as part of tests is planned in further plans.
It is worth mentioning that Airtel has already conducted 5G tests in Gurgaon. The telecommunications operator conducted tests in the 3500 MHz band and achieved a speed of 1 Gb / s.
It is worth mentioning that the Telecommunications Department wants to reduce dependence on foreign players for 5G equipment, which is why it has already banned two Chinese brands. However, these are brands that have been banned in almost all countries due to allegations of espionage, which is why Indian telecom operators have partnered with Nokia, Samsung and Ericsson.
