Bharti Airtel has deployed additional sites in Wayanad and Kozhikode districts of Kerala to densify its network. The network enhancement project was undertaken across 48 towns and 293 villages, covering a population base of 1.78 million.
Customers in the tehsils of Kozhikode, Thamarassery, Quilandy, Vadakara, Mananthavady, Sulthanbathery, and Vythiri under Wayanad and Kozhikode districts will directly benefit from this network enhancement and will be able to access high-speed connectivity.
The company augmented its network coverage across 1,600 villages and 355 towns, covering the entire state of Kerala under Rural Enhancement Project (REP). It also aims at augmenting network connectivity across 60,000 villages in the country by 2024.
To expand coverage in high-potential villages in the state, Airtel’s REP covered all 14 districts of Kerala, to step up network capacity and extend services deeper into rural and unconnected areas. The company has also enhanced its fibre presence in the state by deploying additional capacities to support the growth of demand for high- speed data services in the region.
Airtel’s network in the region now covers all key urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, including highways, tourist destinations, and trade centres.
