Vodafone Idea's 5G now live in Delhi-NCR with unlimited data offer starting ₹299
Vodafone Idea (Vi) has officially launched its 5G services in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), marking a significant step in the telecom provider's phased rollout strategy. The company announced the development on Wednesday, stating that the national capital is now part of its expanding high-speed network footprint. The Delhi-NCR launch follows previous 5G activations in Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Patna, as Vi pushes forward with its broader 5G deployment plan. The company aims to roll out 5G services across all 17 key priority circles where it holds spectrum by August this year. 'This is a major milestone in our 5G journey,' a Vi spokesperson said. 'Delhi-NCR joins a growing list of cities benefiting from our cutting-edge network, with Bengaluru and Mysuru among the next in line.' Vi's ambitious ₹ 55,000 crore capital expenditure programme over three years underpins the nationwide 5G rollout. The initiative reflects the company's commitment to upgrading digital infrastructure and improving connectivity across India's urban hubs. As part of its launch offer, Vi is providing unlimited 5G data to customers with compatible devices, available on plans starting from ₹ 299. This promotional offering is expected to boost user adoption as more regions come online in the coming months. Notably, the rollout in Delhi-NCR is being carried out in collaboration with Swedish telecom giant Ericsson. The partnership has led to the deployment of next-generation 5G infrastructure known for its improved energy efficiency and lighter, more compact hardware. Moreover, Vi has also implemented AI-powered Self-Organising Network (SON) technology to optimise performance and coverage dynamically. The network operates on a 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) architecture, allowing for smooth interoperability between existing 4G networks and the new 5G layer.

Ready for Anything: T‑Mobile Strengthens Powerful Technology Arsenal for Hurricane and Wildfire Seasons
BELLEVUE, Wash., May 2, 2025 /3BL/ - Hurricane and wildfire seasons are here, and T-Mobile is ready. As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, the Un-carrier has stepped up its preparedness efforts with new advanced technology, expanded capabilities and an even more resilient network to keep people connected when it matters most. This year, T-Mobile has rolled out next-gen technology and upgrades to support disaster response and recovery, including: 'At T-Mobile, we know that in today's world, staying connected isn't a luxury — it's a lifeline,' said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology, T-Mobile. 'We're constantly advancing our network's strong foundation with smarter technology, advanced AI and space-based satellite innovation to make it even more responsive and resilient.' Self-Organizing Network: Smarter, Faster Disaster Response with AI and Automation Through proactive AI, T-Mobile's SON enables the network to self-heal and adapt in real time — detecting outages, assessing nearby cell sites and optimizing performance automatically to maintain coverage and prevent congestion. If a cell tower goes down, SON can automatically adjust nearby sites — tilt antennas, increase power and reroute signals — to fill coverage gaps. It also smartly distributes network traffic to prevent backup sites from becoming overloaded, helping preserve reliable service even when strained. When commercial power fails, SON conserves energy by shifting spectrum use to extend generator and battery life. During Hurricanes Helene and Milton, T-Mobile's SON performed over 121,000 antenna adjustments. And during the Southern California wildfires, it executed more than 12,000 — all to keep people connected. T-Satellite: Connectivity When Needed With T-Satellite's satellite-to-mobile service, people can text friends, family and 911 — regardless of wireless provider when cell towers are down. T-Satellite is the first and only space-based mobile network in the country that connects your phone automatically when traditional cell service isn't available — no action needed. Dataminr: Preparedness Starts with Visibility and Innovation T-Mobile has boosted the speed and accuracy of its disaster response by integrating Dataminr 's real-time AI-powered alert system into its Everbridge Visual Command Center — the company's centralized hub for threat monitoring. This integration scans vast amounts of public data — from expert sources to news sites—to detect emerging events and provide early alerts for severe weather, infrastructure risks and emergencies across the U.S. This gives T-Mobile faster threat visibility than before, enabling quicker risk assessment and resource mobilization to respond more effectively to protect network operations. New XL Fleet, Hybrid Tech and Hardened Network Enable Rapid Emergency Response T-Mobile has expanded its emergency fleet with new XL Satellite assets — XL SatCOWs (Satellite Cell on Wheels) and XL SatCOLTs (Satellite Cell on Large Trucks) — featuring automated deployment, 80 to 100-feet masts and remote monitoring. These additions bolster a nationwide fleet of satellite-enabled vehicles. New hybrid portable generators extend site uptime with refuels, further supporting T-Mobile's hardened network, that includes overlapping coverage, backup power, redundant backhaul routes and rigorous site maintenance. Following Hurricanes Helene and Milton in October 2024, T-Mobile restored 99% of customer connectivity within 72 hours of landfall for each hurricane, twice as fast as in previous hurricanes, deploying 600 emergency crew members and over 800 generators. During the Southern California wildfires, 99% of network sites were restored within nine days of the ongoing emergency. Throughout the disaster, T-Mobile also provided critical equipment to first responders and free charging packs, hotspots and home internet to anyone in need — regardless of their provider. Priority Connectivity for First Responders T-Priority, T-Mobile's innovative solution for first responders not only provides priority but better network performance through a dedicated 5G slice that provides up to five times the network resources available to the average user. This ensures that first responders on eligible plans get lower latency and faster 5G speeds more consistently for data-intensive communications tools, along with the highest priority connectivity even in the most congested conditions.
