Bharti Airtel has deployed 'Dual Carrier' technology and additional spectrum in Rajasthan, says a release from the company. The new technology will enable the subscribers in Rajasthan to enjoy 4G-like speed while on 3G network.

Technically, the dual carrier technology will combine the spectrum capacities of two 5MHz carriers in the 2100 MHz band. This boosts the network capacity and delivers faster data speeds, better voice quality, and improved network coverage in both indoors and outdoors. Besides, this optimizes the backend processes between the network and mobile devices, resulting in better battery life for the devices.




Airtel is said to be the first operator in Rajasthan to upgrade 3G technology using the dual carrier. The project was rolled out under Airtel’s Project Leap initiative.

“The deployment of ‘Dual Carrier’ technology is yet another milestone for Airtel in Rajasthan that will help deliver a seamless 4G experience to our customers. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our valued customers for their cooperation during the network upgrade,” commented Manoj Murali, CEO – Rajasthan, Bharti Airtel.
