Bharti Airtel announced yesterday that it has created 5G experience zones in all of its retail stores across the country.
Airtel will demonstrate the power of 5G by showcasing its “blazing data speeds and emerging use cases like immersive virtual reality entertainment, cloud gaming, and more” through these specially selected curated zones, the company said in a statement.
“Airtel has taken the lead in simplifying new technology for customers and allowing them to experience the true difference that 5G has to offer,” the statement added.
Over 1,000 of these stores will be staffed by specially trained executives who will not only explain use cases but also answer any questions customers may have about 5G and the company’s offerings.
“Airtel was the first company in the country to launch 5G services, and its services are now available in 20 states,” it added.
The company is expanding its network in the country while gradually introducing its services.
As the networks are being built, the company said it has heard from customers who are excited to try out the new technology. “The demo zones in our stores will give our customers first-hand experience with Airtel 5G Plus and the potential it has to transform their lives,” said Shashwat Sharma, Director of Consumer Business at Bharti Airtel.
Customers with 5G compatible smartphones can use the “high-speed” 5G Plus network for free until the rollout is more widespread, as the current data plan supports 5G.
Airtel’s services will be compatible with all 5G smartphones and will provide the best voice experience on its network.
“In the last year, Airtel has demonstrated the power of 5G with a host of powerful use cases that will change the way customers lead their lives and do business,” the company said.
