Bharti Airtel has collaborated with Indian Army to launch its network in Galwan and Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO), the northernmost military outpost in the border town. Galwan and Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) are both located in the Ladakh region on the Indo China border at the northeastern corner of the Karakoram Range. This makes Airtel the only private telecom service provider to offer its services 16,700 feet above the sea level.
The company has installed 17 mobile towers across Kargil, Siachen, Galwan, DBO and the Changthang regions, extending connectivity to remote villages of Ladakh. Airtel worked with the Leh Signalers to execute this challenging task.
