Airtel demonstrates 5G network ahead of commercial rollout

Airtel has just announced that it has successfully demonstrated its Airtel 5G networks in Hyderabad. Airtel is taking on Jio in terms of operational success in 5G networks. Jio had earlier announced its launch of 5G services in 2021.

Airtel states that it has successfully orchestrated operations of Airtel 5G and 4G networks concurrently. This is broadcast over a liberalized spectrum in the 1800 MHz band through the Non-Standalone network technology. The company says that their 5G network is capable of delivering up to 10x speeds. Compared to existing technologies, it allows users to download a movie in a couple of seconds on a 5G phone.

Airtel has started testing its own Airtel 5G networks in Hyderabad

Currently, Airtel is using Ericsson 4G (DSS) as its equipment partner to deliver its 4G and 5G networks. Existing technology-neutral spectrums in mid-bands (1800/2100/2300 MHz) and sub-GHz bands (800/900 MHz) help in this regard. The technology allows Airtel to operate the 4G and 5G networks dynamically over the same spectrum block. The company states that it can deploy 5G networks easily through means of a simple software upgrade. There is no need to go through tedious hardware and network structure remodelling. Basically, with no major increase in operational costs, it allows Airtel to roll out its 5G services.

Airtel stated that once they get the government approval and the right spectrum bands available in adequate quantity, they will be able to roll out the 5G network in the country in a matter of months. Airtel did not provide any specific timeline for the commercial rollout of the 5G network in the country.

“The moment we receive government approvals, and we have the right spectrum bands and in adequate quantities, we'll be able to roll this [5G] out immediately,” said Gopal Vittal, MD, and CEO, Bharti Airtel, during a virtual media briefing.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As...
