Bharti Airtel has announced the launch of Airtel prepaid and postpaid 4G services in Chandigarh, Mohali & Panchkula.
For these services, Airtel will leverage the 4G LTE technology to deliver superfast access to data services for customers, enabling them to stream high definition (HD) videos, do multiple chatting, and quickly upload photos and download rich content.
Commenting on the occasion, Jagbir Singh, CTO & Director, Network Services Group, Bharti Airtel, said, “The much awaited launch of Airtel 4G services fulfills a huge market requirement and will give customers in Chandigarh the power to upgrade to cutting edge 4G LTE technology – the most advanced wireless broadband experience available across the globe today. This launch is another first by Airtel that further enhances the footprint of mobile broadband in India. We are optimistic about the potential of Airtel 4G services and invite our data savvy customers in Punjab to enjoy this world class data experience.”
In 2010, Airtel had successfully bid for BWA license spectrum in Kolkata, Karnataka, Punjab and Maharashtra (excluding Mumbai) circles. Additionally, earlier last year, Bharti Airtel acquired 49 percent interest in Qualcomm AP’s India entities that hold BWA licenses in Delhi, Mumbai, Haryana and Kerala.
The company has launched its 4G LTE services in Kolkata, Bengaluru, Pune and now Chandigarh. It is currently working toward rolling out 4G networks in the remaining license circles.
