The 5G mobile broadband network is the fastest network in today’s world. When it came to enabling users to stream music and video while they were on the go, 4G was a significant advancement. However, 5G is intended to connect a much wider variety of devices than smartphones and to offer significantly faster speeds and capacity.
Notably, Chandigarh is amongst the 13 cities chosen by the nation for the upcoming 5G launch. Furthermore, many telecommunications providers have started their 5G trial sites in the city, including Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea.
