NEW DELHI: India is all set to take the next step in its advance in the telecommunications sector, which will revolutionize the way we communicate and do business. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, will launch the 5G mobile service on 1st October at 10 am from the Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.

The announcement will be on the sidelines of the sixth edition of the Indian Mobile Congress.

The telecommunications ministry said that select cities will get 5G services from 1st October. However, the ministry has not revealed which cities will be covered under the 5G service.

Seamless coverage, high data charges, safe communication, and high-resolution video streaming are the benefits of 5G service.
