    What's the story

    Vodafone Idea (Vi) has unveiled plans to initiate its 5G rollout in about six months, possibly around Diwali, which falls on November 1.

    The company's CEO, Akshaya Moondra, made this announcement during a post-Q4 conference call.

    The primary focus of the rollout will be on major cities or areas with a high concentration of devices.

    Tech trials

    Advancements in 5G technology trials

    Vodafone Idea is currently conducting advanced trials for OpenRAN and vRAN technologies, as part of its 5G rollout plan.

    The telecom giant has already met its minimum rollout obligation in four circles and has applied for Bihar and Mumbai circles.

    Vodafone Idea is in discussions with several tech partners for its 5G rollout.

    Currently, Nokia powers Vi's 4G in nine circles and Ericsson does so in eight circles. Huawei and ZTE technology are used in seven and five circles respectively.

    4G expansion

    Prioritizing 4G coverage expansion

    Vi plans to cover 40% of its revenue base with its 5G services within the next 24-30 months.
