Bharti Airtel has announced that it has completed the deployment of the additional spectrum it acquired in July 2024. The deployment of additional 5MHz on 1800 band will give a boost to Airtel’s 5G/4G network capacities which, in turn, will improve and enhance data speeds and provide significantly better coverage inside homes and buildings.
The deployment of additional spectrum is now complete and as a result customer across Kolkata, Greater Kolkata, Howrah and Hooghly 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 and increase its footprint as the demand for connectivity continues to rise exponentially.
Commenting on the announcement, Ayan Sarkar, chief executive officer (CEO), West Bengal and Orissa, Bharti Airtel, said, “Airtel’s commitment to superior network performance is unwavering. With the integration of this new spectrum, customers can now enjoy enhanced call connectivity, faster data speeds and an overall improved performance.
