Upgrades 5G network with slicing technology, offering postpaid customers enhanced service quality and seamless connectivity
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 19: Bharti Airtel today announced the launch of Priority Postpaid, a new service that leverages 5G slicing technology to deliver superior and more consistent experience to customers on postpaid. This service is specially built for busy customers who depend on uninterrupted connectivity for work, entertainment, or online collaboration.
For this service, Airtel has upgraded its 5G network with advanced capabilities of slicing technology. This makes the network more efficient; creates more capacity; and provides the capability to use this capacity in a targeted manner for delivery of superior experience for Priority customers. By intelligently and dynamically segmenting network capacity, Airtel is offering stable and dependable experience for postpaid customers, even when traffic demand is high.
Over the past year, slicing based 5G services have been launched in many countries like USA, Singapore, United Kingdom and Malaysia. Airtel’s launch is the first such launch in India, reflecting Airtel’s continued investment in building a smarter, more resilient, and future-ready digital network and reinforces its commitment to combining advanced technology with customer-centric innovation.
Commenting on the launch, Shashwat Sharma, MD & CEO – Airtel India, said, “Our focus at Airtel is on delivering meaningful innovations that enhance our customers’ experience. Priority Postpaid is our latest innovation powered by the 5G slicing technology. It provides a superior, more reliable, and dependable experience to our customers — whether they are attending a client call in traffic, or streaming at a packed concert, or booking a cab in a crowded market.”
Airtel Priority service is available for customers on all our postpaid plans. Existing customers will start enjoying the benefit automatically. Prepaid customers or customers wanting to switch to Airtel Priority postpaid can do so easily through the Airtel App or by visiting any Airtel Store.
