The company announced today that it has completed deploying additional spectrum across all 40 districts in these states, aimed at significantly improving both voice and data services.
Improved Connectivity for Customers
The newly deployed 5MHz on the 2100 MHz band enhances Airtel’s 4G and 5G network capacities.
