Vi Plans to launch 5G in six months
Vi plans to launch 5G services in 6-7 months and expects more clarity on 5G monetisation by then. The telco will switch off its 3G network in FY25 and refarm airwaves in the 2100 MHz band for 4G. Vi has shut down 3G services in some areas and is in discussions with technology partners for the 5G rollout. The company is also exploring advanced technologies like vRAN & ORAN. Jio has completed its 5G rollout nationwide, while Airtel is set to do so by March. Vi continues its fundraise discussions and is considering selling fibre assets and in-building solutions.
