Bharti Airtel has set up 55 small cells, 12 additional outdoor sites and four-way protected fibre routes to provide seamless telecom services, including 5G network coverage, at Bharat Mandapam ahead of the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The summit is scheduled to begin on Monday, February 16, 2026.

The company said its teams will continuously monitor all roaming links to ensure that visitors receive uninterrupted services on the Airtel 5G Plus network.

The Expo, being held alongside the summit, will be spread across 10 arenas covering more than 70,000 square metres. It will bring together global technology companies, start-ups, academic and research institutions, union ministries, state governments and international partners.
