5G - the new talk of the town! 

As 5G becomes prevalent, it paves the way for a new era of technology and connectivity. The fifth generation of wireless technology is set to drive industry performance leading transformation across platforms. Designed to connect everyone and everything, 5G will provide consumers with peak data speeds, more reliability, significantly improve video quality, and enable new user experiences. Let us look at some scenarios where the implementation of 5G will prove beneficial:

Potentials and Benefits of 5G:

  1. Seamless connectivity with notably increased bandwidth
  2. Low to no lag on video calls
  3. Immersive entertainment and higher processing power for an improved gaming experience
  4. Adaption of AR/VR across industries and enterprises to drive value for better engagement and conversions
  5. Autonomous connected cars, for enabling safer commutes
  6. Growth in IoT for the development of smart homes and cities

There is no doubt that 5G will pave the way for incredible possibilities in the future. However, amid the growing excitement around 5G Delhi, 5G Mumbai, and 5G Kolkata, a wave of confusion surrounds the 5G landscape and infrastructure. This uncertainty is affecting consumers' understanding of what to expect from 5G technology. While many eagerly await the new 5G service, concerns persist about unknowns and requirements such as upgrading to a 5G-enabled smartphone, obtaining a new 5G SIM card, the availability of 5G SIMs in India, and the potential costs involved.

Do you need to buy a new SIM to use 5G?

Despite the fact that you might need to get a 5G-enabled mobile device to access 5G services, you do not require a new 5G SIM. Once you update to a 5G handset, your existing 4G SIM card will be sufficient to be able to use 5G on your mobile phones.

Vi is constantly preparing its network for new 5G based applications that will help with greater network capacity requirements of customers. The Vi SIM cards are 5G capable and can be used with a 5G enabled handset to avail 5G services. Vi is 5G ready, thus post the Vi 5G launch you can use the existing Vi SIM cards.
