Bharti Airtel Boosts 4G Network in Haryana With Deployment of LTE Technology on 2100 MHz Band

Bharti Airtel has made another stride in its network development by upgrading its 4G network in Haryana with the deployment of LTE 2100 technology which is supposed to enhance the network experience for its smartphone consumers significantly. It is very well known that the 3G customer base is declining in India, and more and more subscribers are upgrading to 4G smartphones. The rollout of the 4G network in the premium 2100 MHz spectrum band will allow Airtel to provide more 4G capacity to the customers and the telco will also be able to drive more voice traffic for its customers in the Haryana region.

The telecom operator has also been able to come very close to the ARPU levels of Reliance Jio, and the estimations have suggested that the ARPU of Bharti Airtel could be Rs 125 which is in proximity to Rs 126.6, the current ARPU level of the Mukesh Ambani led telecom operator, Reliance Jio.
