Better 5G Connectivity During G20 Summit

Free WIFI services are now accessible throughout the Bharat Mandapam complex in Pragati Maidan, selected as the G20 Summit venue in Delhi…reports Asian Lite News

The government has announced that during and after the G20 Summit in Delhi, mobile phone users can expect stronger 5G connections and fewer call drops. Delhi’s 5G telecom infrastructure has significantly improved since being designated as the G20 host.

One key factor contributing to better mobile connectivity is the rapid installation of 5,718 5G base transceiver stations (BTS) in January alone, bringing the total operational BTS count in the city to 10,662.

Furthermore, free WIFI services are now accessible throughout the Bharat Mandapam complex in Pragati Maidan, selected as the G20 Summit venue in Delhi.

To streamline the process of providing mobile connections to foreign nationals, dignitaries, and officials attending the summit, there have been relaxed verification norms based on one-time passwords (OTPs) for digital KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures. The Ministry of Communications clarified that this change is a “one-time measure” prompted by difficulties reported by foreign nationals, dignitaries, and officials who couldn’t provide alternate numbers for OTPs.

It’s important to note that these relaxations apply exclusively to foreign nationals, dignitaries, and officials visiting India for the G20 Summit, as announced by the government.

The increased demand for mobile connections during the G20 Summit underscores India’s capability to offer mobile data at some of the most competitive rates worldwide.
