Like any other wireless cellular network, the service area is divided into small geographical areas called cells.

The main advantage of the 5G network will be greater bandwidth, higher download speed, and more.

The 5G network has increased speed due to additional higher-frequency radio waves in addition to the low and medium band frequencies used in previous cellular networks.

At present, only two telecom companies – Jio and Airtel offer 5G in select cities like - Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Varanasi etc.
