Deploys additional 10 Mhz spectrum in 2300 band that will boost network capacity for high speed data services
Bharti Airtel said that it has upgraded its mobile network in Gujarat to deliver the best network experience for its customers. It has deployed an additional 10 Mhz spectrum in the 2300 Mhz band along with advance network software tools across its network in the state to significantly bolster high speed data capacity.
The deployment will strengthen the network for Airtel customers across the state. It will enable improved network availability and data speeds as more and more people access high speed data services from their smart devices.
Airtel had acquired the 10 Mhz spectrum for Gujarat during the recent auctions conducted by the Government of India. With this fresh spectrum, Airtel has 70.4 Mhz of diverse spectrum holdings across 2300/1800/900 bands. The company is well positioned to serve the growing demand for high speed data services and its network is fully ready for 5G services.
Navneet Sharma, CEO-Gujarat, Bharti Airtel said, “We have continued to invest aggressively in new spectrum and network updates to deliver world-class experience to our customers. With the new block of 2300 band acquired during the recent auctions, we have erected a future ready network by building capacities for an ever growing need for high speed data. We have an enviable spectrum bank in Gujarat and our network is well positioned to adopt newer technologies and innovations.”
Following the pandemic, the adoption of the work from home, online classes, video streaming has witnessed a massive surge. Airtel’s intervention to build additional capacities will go a long way in helping customers stay connected.
Airtel has also deployed advanced network technologies and tools such as pre-5G Massive MIMO, 4G Advanced and Carrier Aggregation to step up high speed network capacity and coverage.
