Bharti Airtel signed agreements with global telecom equipment majors Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung to commence the deployment of 5G services. The announcement came just a couple of days after the 5G auction ended with the government fetching more than Rs. 1.5 trillion.
Samsung had only worked with Reliance Jio to build 4G networks. This is the first time that it is making partnership with other players. But under the existing policy, the government has not permitted Chinese telecom gear makers to participate in the 5G roll out.
Ericsson is one of the old partners of Airtel and Nokia had the contract awarded a 45% share of the Airtel network.
