Airtel has added 5 MHz of spectrum in the 1800 MHz band and 10 MHz of spectrum in the 2300 MHz band. It is worth noting that Airtel had acquired spectrum across the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 2300 MHz band in the recently held auctions.

Airtel and Jio Adding Spectrum Rapidly in Multiple States

It is worth noting that yesterday, Reliance Jio had also announced that it was adding 20 MHz of spectrum in Kerala. The Ambani led telco added 5 MHz of spectrum in the 850 MHz band, 5 MHz of spectrum in the 1800 MHz band and the remaining 10 MHz of spectrum in the 2300 MHz band.

Both Jio and Airtel have been adding spectrum in multiple states rapidly to enhance the quality of their networks. With the newly added spectrum, both the companies are positioned to offer less congested networks, better speeds and connectivity to their customers.

Airtel has spectrum across the 1800 FDD, 2100 FDD, 2300 TDD, and 900 FDD bands meaning it is well-positioned to offer 5G services in India by leveraging its 4G spectrum. For the unaware, just a few days back, Airtel announced that it had added 5 MHz of spectrum in Tamil Nadu and 11.2 MHz of spectrum in Karnataka.
