Currently, the services are being rolled out in Assam using TD-LTE in 2300MHz band. However, the telco had promised to also deploy FD-LTE technology in 1800MHz band in the near future.
Sameer Anjaria, CEO, Airtel North Eastern States and Assam commented on the launch saying “We are absolutely delighted to launch our 4G services in Assam starting with the towns of Dibrugarh and Tinsukia.

In addition, Airtel had also announced a new 4G offer for its prepaid customers which provides 10GB of 4G data only at Rs. 249. On recharging with Rs. 249, users will be credited with 1GB of data instantly, and the rest (9GB) can be claimed through My Airtel app. Users will need a new 4G handset to avail this offer, though. Also, a user can only avail a maximum of 3 recharges within 90 days.
Currently, Airtel’s 4G services are available in 21 circles across India. The telco, in 2015, commenced a program called ‘Project Leap’ — a strategic initiative by the company (with an investment of Rs. 60,000 crores) aimed at improving the network quality to offer seamless experience throughout the country.
