Airtel deploys additional spectrum across all 23 districts in Punjab

Bharti Airtel on Thursday announced that it has completed the deployment of the additional spectrum it acquired in July 2024. The deployment of additional 5Mhz on the 1800 band will give a boost to Airtel’s 4G network capacities which, in turn, will improve and enhance data speeds and provide significantly better coverage inside homes and buildings, both in urban and rural areas.

The deployment of additional spectrum is now complete, and as a result, customers across Chandigarh and Punjab will enjoy an elevated quality of service on voice as well as data. The deployment will also allow Airtel to offer wider coverage along the highways and rail routes as well as increase its footprint in rural areas as the demand for connectivity continues to rise exponentially.

Pushpinder Singh Gujral, CEO, Upper North, Bharti Airtel, said, "With the integration of this new spectrum, customers across the state can now enjoy enhanced call connectivity, faster data speeds and an overall improved performance.”

Bharti Airtel secured additional 97Mhz of spectrum for Punjab at the recently concluded Spectrum Auction.
