Airtel 4G trials in Delhi-NCR

Bharti Airtel has rolled out 4G trials in Delhi NCR and offered free upgrade from 3G to 4G.

The company has expanded its 4G facility to Karnal and Yamunanagar in Haryana. The company wants customers to be a part of the trial and offer feedback.

Sarang Kanade, CEO, Delhi NCR and Rajasthan, Bharti Airtel said, "Customers in the region will be uniquely positioned to experience India's first integrated FD and TD 4G network, implying faster 4G speeds and wider network coverage."

"As customers in India show an increasing propensity for consuming data services, we at Airtel are excited to take the lead in introducing the market to power of blazing 4G speeds," he adds.

The company is looking to expand its 4G base in light of Reliance Jio's 4G launch timed for December. 4G trials have been launched for existing Airtel customers in Hyderabad, Vizag, Chennai, Coimbatore and Mumbai.

Existing Airtel users can activate 4G with a quick SMS registration while non-Airtel customers buying 4G enabled mobile devices can follow a process to join the 4G network.

Airtel launched the country’s first 4G services in Kolkata in April 2012. The service is now available across India including Bengaluru, Pune, Nasik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Mangaluru, Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Hoshiarpur, Phagwara, Kapurthala, Moga, Bathinda Patiala and recently launched Ambala (City and Cantt.).
