Vi starts next phase of 5G rollout, tightens tech partnerships
Vodafone Idea (Vi) has moved into the next phase of its 5G rollout, after commercially launching services in March this year. The network went live first in metros like Delhi and Mumbai and has since expanded to 29 cities across 17 priority circles.
Chief executive Akshaya Moondra said the company is now focused on deepening coverage in existing 5G markets and building out its digital services. Vi is also tightening partnerships with device makers, app providers and ecosystem players to drive 5G usage, while continuing to operate its 4G network for most subscribers as the shift to 5G remains gradual.
