Although 5G in India remains a distant dream, telcos like Jio and Airtel have already started testing to test the adequacy of the mobile broadband network. Once launched, 5G is expected to solve Internet connectivity issues and help devices connect seamlessly, as well as provide high-speed Internet connection for downloading movies and videos. Today, Airtel announced that it has successfully conducted India's first cloud gaming session in a 5G environment. This test is a part of the ongoing 5G tests and it was done in Manesar, Haryana using the phantom assigned by the Department of Telecommunications for exactly the same purpose and the company has partnered with Ericsson and Nokia for these tests. For those who don't know, cloud gaming allows users to play high-definition, resource-intensive games without investing much in hardware like a gaming rig or console. Since games are streamed in real time, a high speed, low latency internet connection is extremely essential for cloud gaming. Identifying cloud gaming as an upcoming trend for developing markets like India, Randeep Sekhon, CTO, Bharti Airtel said, "This is just the start of an exciting digital future for us. Airtel will leave its service customers as we prepare to roll over 5G in India.The company had invited certain gamers to test Airtel 5G internet cloud games playing Asphalt on their mobile devices adapted to connect to the test network. the company, the test session allowed gamers to achieve low-latency connectivity with speeds greater than 1 Gbps.
There is still no clarity on the availability of 5G
(Image credit: Google) As telcos test different 5G use cases and claim high-speed connectivity in the testing phase, we're just going to see if these claims hold true once 5G is commercially deployed in the country. Even before the commercial launch of Reliance Jio, it carried out an extended 4G connectivity test with its service customers. These tests allowed service customers to achieve speeds in excess of 5 Mbps on their mobile devices. However, by the time the services started, speeds dropped to four-five Mbps on average. Therefore, we will have to wait to personally test if these statements are true after launch. In terms of availability, the Indian government, which puts more emphasis on local technology, may announce the commercial availability of XNUMXG in India on August XNUMX, XNUMX.
