Bharti Airtel has announced that it has completed the deployment of additional spectrum it acquired in July 2024. The deployment of additional 5 MHz on the 1800 band will give a boost to Airtel’s 4G network capacities which, in turn, will improve data speeds and provide significantly better coverage in urban and rural areas.

The deployment of additional spectrum is now complete and as a result, customers across Chandigarh and Punjab will enjoy an elevated quality of service both on voice and data. The deployment will also allow Airtel to offer wider coverage along the highways and rail routes as well as increase its footprint in rural areas as the demand for connectivity continues to rise exponentially.

Commenting on the announcement, Pushpinder Singh Gujral, chief executive officer, upper north, Bharti Airtel, said, “Airtel’s commitment to superior network performance is unwavering. With the integration of this new spectrum, customers across the state can now enjoy enhanced call connectivity, faster data speeds and an overall improved performance. We remain committed to Chandigarh and Punjab and will continue to invest in technologies that will help elevate service experience for our customers.”
