Bharti Airtel has expanded its network by deploying additional sites in the Ernakulam and Idukki districts of Kerala to improve customer experience for voice and data connectivity, under its Rural Enhancement Project (REP).

Bharti Airtel has been working on network enhancement project that involves network expansion in 60 towns and 266 villages in Kerala, covering a population of 1.9 million. The company plans to expand its network coverage across 1,600 villages and 355 towns, covering the entire state.

The project aims to extend services deeper into rural and unconnected areas, including highways, tourist destinations, and trade centres. The company has also added fresh fibre capacity to support high-speed data demand in these regions.

Hill stations in Wayanad, Idukki, and Pathanamthitta now have better network coverage, making Airtel available even in remote locations. Customers in the tehsils of Aluva, Kanayannur, Kochi, Kothamangalam, and others, directly benefited from this network enhancement.

Airtel has reinforced its commitment to the state and invested additional capital expenditure to enhance its network connectivity for a seamless experience on 4G, 5G, broadband, and fibre.
