Airtel recently announced that it has upgraded its mobile network in Tamil Nadu to deliver the best network experience for its customers.
Airtel has deployed an additional 5 Mhz spectrum in the 1800 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 an already superior network for Airtel customers across the state. It will enable improved network availability and data speeds along with better coverage inside homes and buildings in cities and urban areas. The deployment also allows Airtel to offer wider coverage along highways and rail routes as well as increase footprint in villages as more people access high speed data services.
Airtel had acquired large blocks of 1800 and 900 Mhz spectrum for Tamil Nadu during the recent auctions conducted by the Government of India. With this fresh spectrum, Airtel has the largest spectrum bank of 65 Mhz in Tamil Nadu. With its diverse spectrum holdings, the company is well positioned to serve the growing demand for high speed data services and its network is fully ready for 5G.
