Bhubaneswar: Union Communications, Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will launch the much-anticipated 5G communication network services in Odisha on Thursday at a ceremony at SOA Campus-2 in Bhubaneswar.
According to sources, telecom carriers Reliance Jio and Airtel have already constructed 510 base transceiver station (BTS) towers across the state. The service will be offered in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and a few other locations in the state.
The Bhubaneswar program will also include the announcement of projects sponsored by the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF), Spectrum enabling for Research and Development (R&D), the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and Software Technology Parks of India (STPI).
Telecom providers are likely to first serve major cities with 5G before expanding the service to rural areas. According to a PIB announcement, Vaishnaw will launch 100 telecom towers in Odisha's rural districts, as well as 5G services.
It is worth noting that the 5G service, which began on a trial basis in October 2022, was initially launched in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Gandhinagar, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Jamnagar, Kolkata, Chennai, Lucknow, Pune, Delhi, and Mumbai.
Furthermore, President Droupadi Murmu's village Pahadpur in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha has experienced the latest generation telecom network.
At the foundation stone laying ceremony for the renovation of Bhubaneswar Railway Station, Vaishnaw announced that 5G services will be launched in Odisha before January 26.
5G technology has the potential to be up to ten times quicker than 4G. According to experts, a file that takes 56 hours to download on a 2G network, two hours on a 3G network, and 40 minutes on a 4G network will take only 35 seconds on a 5G network.
