Airtel Enhances 4G Services in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Bharti Airtel on Monday announced the launch of its “Ultra-Fast 4G” services in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The development is on the heels of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the Submarine Optical Fibre Cable Connectivity between Chennai and Andman and Nicobar Islands (CANI Project). The Submarine Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) connecting Chennai and Port Blair is said to deliver 2x 200 Gbps between the two cities. Further, the project is also said to deliver 2×100 Gbps between Port Blair and other islands. In a release on Friday, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said that the 4G mobile services on the Islands will see a “major improvement” following the inauguration of the CANI project. It has to be noted that Airtel in January, 2019 had said that it launched 4G services in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. However, the CANI project enables Airtel to deliver enhanced speeds to its 4G users on the Islands.
