We should mention that the 3G handset user base is declining in the country now as more and more people are upgrading to 4G devices. With the rollout of 4G in 2100 Mhz spectrum band, Airtel has promised to offer additional high-speed data capacity for 4G and drive a lot of voice traffic on VoLTE to serve its customers. The telecom major says that it now has a strong spectrum bank in Jammu and Kashmir including 2300 Mhz (TD LTE), 2100 Mhz (LTE 2100), and 1800 Mhz (FD LTE). The company has also said that these help it in offering world-class 4G services to its customers. Airtel India has also said that with an increase in its capacity with the 2100Mhz spectrum, its customers will get to enjoy enhanced 4G throughputs and get a better experience. Manu Sood, Hub CEO- Upper North, Bharti Airtel said, “In our continuous endeavour to deliver best-in-class network experience to our customers, the deployment of LTE 2100 in Jammu & Kashmir will further augment Airtel 4G quality and experience. LTE 2100 will further boost the network capacity and significantly improve outdoor coverage especially during intracity/ intercity transit for 4G smartphone customers.” “LTE 2100 shall also add stimulus to increasing VoLTE traffic volume with better VoLTE propagation and add to our efforts to provide a superior network experience. We will continue to invest aggressively in the deployment of the latest network technologies to delight our customers” Manu further added.
The company has said that it serves over 5.46 million customers in Jammu and Kashmir and has deployed advanced network technologies and tools such as 4G Advanced and Carrier Aggregation to step up high-speed network capacity and coverage. The company is committed to further invest in its network under its Project Leap program. Airtel recently also announced that it has upgraded its mobile network in Delhi NCR by deploying its LTE 900 technology on the 900Mhz spectrum. It has said that this will add to the high-speed network capacity and enhance the indoor network experience for Airtel 4G smartphone customers. With this, the company promised high propagation and reach of the 900 Mhz spectrum and said that its customers will enjoy enhanced 4G availability inside various buildings including houses, offices and malls.
