Telecom major Bharti Airtel and equipment maker Huawei had stated in February 2018 that they &#8220;have successfully conducted India&#8217;s first 5G network trial under a test set up&#8221;, reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/article\/companies\/airtel-and-huawei-successfully-conduct-india-s-first-5g-trial-in-gurgaon-118022300854_1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Business Standard<\/a>. The government stated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/pib.gov.in\/Pressreleaseshare.aspx?PRID=1715927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">press note from May 4, 2021<\/a>, that the department of telecommunications (DoT) gave permissions to Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) for conducting trials for use and applications of 5G technology. However, DoT specified that the trials will be isolated and not connected with the existing networks of TSPs. Trials will be on a non-commercial basis. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtel.in\/press-release\/01-2021\/airtel-announces-5g-ready-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bharti Airtel<\/a> had demonstrated and orchestrated a LIVE 5G service over a commercial network in Hyderabad city earlier in January.<\/p>\n<p>The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), an industry association representing India\u2019s private telecom services providers, clarified last week that currently there are no 5G trials going on in the country and no 5G towers have been installed as yet, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newindianexpress.com\/business\/2021\/may\/08\/telecom-companies-body-forced-to-dispelrumours-linking-covid-19-to-5g-trials-2299934.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Economic Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A video has been shared with the false claim that a 5G tower in Gujarat caught on fire.
