Better 4G network

In addition to announcing its 5G network in Sonipat, Vi said it has upgraded its 4G network in Haryana by deploying 900MHz spectrum in over 1700 sites and doubling the capacity of over 1200 sites from 5MHz to 10MHz. The network optimisation will help users get strong signals and fewer call drops in cities like Panipat, Sonipat, Bhiwani, Rewari, Palwal, Jind, Sirsa, Hisar, Rohtak, Karnal, Ambala, Kurukshetra, and Bahadurgarh, among others.

India’s third-largest telecom company also said it has enhanced the 2100MHz spectrum capacity from 10MHz to 15MHz in over 1000 sites across the state, along with installing 230+ new ones.

The launch of 5G in Sonipat comes days after the company activated its high-speed network in Jaipur. The company previously rolled out 5G in Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Nagpur, Mumbai, and Mysuru, among others. The next stage of the company’s 5G deployment plan includes rollout in Pune, Nashik, and Aurangabad in Maharashtra before it moves to other cities in its 17 priority circles where it has acquired 5G spectrum.
