Delhi International Airport becomes 5G network-compliant
The Hindu
Currently, a few of the Telecom Service Providers have enabled their network to facilitate 5G service for their customers
GMR group-run Delhi Airport on September 29 said it has made its facility compliant with 5G network, which the passengers can avail once these services are rolled out by the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs).
Most airports at present provide wireless service primarily through Wi-Fi to passengers.
Wi-Fi relies on the unlicensed spectrum which is free for anyone to use, as per the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL).
With the rise in passenger footfall, airports have witnessed a rise in demand for more bandwidth and faster speed for using gadgets like smartphones and laptops, among others.
Airlines and other airport stakeholders are also seeking fast, seamless and secure connectivity for their essential technologies to meet the demand, DIAL said, adding with 5G network passengers will be able to enjoy a 20 times faster data speed over the available Wi-Fi system, it said.
Such a network would allow them quicker downloads, zero buffering during streaming and seamless execution of resource-intensive applications, DIAL stated.
