Airtel & Jio deploy pre-5G Massive MIMO at IPL stadiums

Reliance Jio has deployed pre-5G Massive MIMO for users at IPL matches in Delhi and Mumbai. The stadiums of the IPL matches have been connected with pre-5G Massive MIMO units.


Dubbed as the fastest network, Massive MIMO can provide more than 5 times the capacity in a 30 MHz wide band spectrum in high user density areas. The stadiums have been connected with various wireless broadband solutions including Massive MIMO, 4G eNodeBs, WiFi and small cells.

Airtel has also deployed Massive MIMO technology across IPL match venues in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mohali, Indore, Jaipur, Bengaluru and Chennai. The first match starts at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 7, 2018.

Though Airtel was the first mobile operator in India to commercially deploy Massive MIMO, Reliance Jio, Vodafone and Idea Cellular have already been piloting the technology in various circles.

Massive MIMO is a technology which expands existing network capacity by five to seven times over existing spectrum, thereby improving spectral efficiency. Customers will be able to experience superfast data speeds on Airtel’s 4G network despite the very large number of concurrent users on the network sites at the venue.
