Though at first, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone-Idea proposed to carry on the trials with Huawei’s tech infrastructures, they later submitted applications to proceed with the trials without any much support from Chinese tech companies. The Telecom Service Providers have teamed with technology developers in the country to conduct the trials.
The decision to leave out Chinese tech companies from taking part in the trials shows us that any Chinese tech company might not be involved later in the future in rolling out 5G technology in India. The duration of the trials is totally six months and an extra two months in advance to procure and set up tech infrastructure in the country for testing.
