Bharti Airtel has made additional investment for upgrading its 4G network in Assam and North East.
Airtel said it has completed the deployment of LTE 900 technology as part of the vision to enhance the network experience for its smartphone customers. The additional investment in the 900 MHz spectrum band will assist Airtel to ensure more mobile data capacity to serve its phone customers.
Airtel’s 4G smartphone customers will receive better signal inside buildings — homes, offices and malls.
“The deployment of LTE 900 will boost Airtel 4G coverage, particularly inside homes and buildings. Airtel smartphone customers will enjoy a seamless high speed data and HD quality calling experience on our upgraded network,” Raveendra Desai, Assam and North East, Bharti Airtel said.

Airtel has also deployed network technologies and tools such as 4G Advanced and Carrier Aggregation to enhance network capacity and coverage.
