Bharti Airtel (Airtel), India’s premier communications solutions provider, on Monday launched an initiative, #5GforBusiness to show a wide range of enterprise-grade use cases using high speed & low latency networks.

“The 5G solutions would include use cases like a smart factory, smart healthcare, 5G powered quality inspection, digital twin, connected frontline workforce and AR/VR based use cases amongst others,” the company said in a statement.

The test cases are being deployed on the trial spectrum allotted by the department of technology to the company in May.

The statement also comes within days of the company urging the government to extend the timeframe for 5G trials by another year. Its permit along with that of rivals Reliance Jio Infocomm and Vodafone Idea were coming to an end in November.

Airtel has tied up with global consulting and technology companies such as Accenture, AWS, CISCO, Ericsson, Google Cloud, Nokia and Tata Consultancy Services to deploy the spectrum. It has further partnered with Apollo Hospitals, Flipkart and several manufacturing companies to test 5G based solutions, the company added.

The use case demonstrations will be conducted both at end-user locations and at Airtel’s advanced 5G lab in Network Experience Centre at Manesar in Gurgaon.

Commenting on the initiative, Randeep Singh Sekhon, CTO, Bharti Airtel, said, “The 5G ecosystem will open limitless possibilities for enterprises to enhance productivity and serve their customers even better with digitally enabled applications.”

Randeep added that the trials offered tremendous learning across the value chain and laid a solid foundation for future application roadmap.

Earlier this year Airtel demonstrated India’s first 5G experience over a LIVE 4G network.

Further, the statement said, Airtel was spearheading the O-RAN Alliance initiatives in India to build 5G solutions. The company has already announced partnerships with Tata Group, Qualcomm, Intel, Mavenir and Altiostar.
