Airtel Introduces 4G Services in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Connects Territory to Digital Superhighway

Bharti Airtel, the Sunil Mittal led telecom operator has become the first of the many telecom companies to start deploying 4G services in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. With this launch, the company has connected the island with the digital superhighway. It is worth noting that before this, Andaman and Nicobar residents were limited to using slow internet services which did not facilitate lightning fast internet which the rest of the country was enjoying. But, with this new launch of 4G services by Airtel, the residents of the archipelago will be able to enjoy digital services like HD video streaming, superfast downloads and uploads and much more.
