Airtel 5G SA for Airfiber?

[Kyle Crane]

It’s almost end of December and Airtel still hasn’t rolled out 5G SA

Does anyone know anything about roll out

 

[RKhan21]

Airtel has started to rollout N1 DSS + N78 SA in South Chennai outer areas. Still no signs of SA in the main city

How to check if airtel had started deployment? @RKhan21

 

[RKhan21]

Rooted android phone is needed to check all these stuff.

Or iPhones with iOS 18 field test mode shows whether the deployment is SA or NSA.

 

[RKhan21]

That Menu is not accurate always

@RKhan21 Rooted android phone is not required. Try NetMonster. Here is a screenshot from Google Pixel Phone.

@a.banerjee You are connected to Jio's 5G SA so Netmonster app which uses API shows it. But in case of Airtel they don't allow to latch onto their SA network so it won't show anything there.

@RKhan21 Nope, I do not agree with you. Here is the screenshot for Airtel 5G. Luckily I had physical Airtel SIM, so I swapped from iPhone to Pixel. Otherwise I couldn't prove it.

@a.banerjee Where does this app proves if Airtel is deploying SA?
