Airtel puts India on the Digital Superhighway
This follows the successful trial of services in select cities and the feedback received from customers.
Airtel has led the 4G story in India, as the company launched India’s first 4G network in Kolkata in April 2012.
Announcing the launch, Gopal Vittal, MD & CEO, Bharti Airtel (India & South Asia) said,“At Airtel, the customer is at the heart of everything we do and therefore we first opened our 4G network to some of them for their valuable feedback. With the help of the feedback received from the beta launches, we have now built India’s first commercial 4G network that will make high speed mobile broadband a reality. The national roll-out today is another small step in our journey to be the most innovative and customer focused brand.”
“We also believe that an open platform is critical to developing an ecosystem that nurtures innovation and enabling our consumers to access a myriad set of possibilities on their mobile phones. Our 4G network is therefore built on an open partner ecosystem model that brings together the best in the industry and introduces the market to these never before experiences. Together with our network and device partners, we have enabled a deeper proliferation of 4G in the country and I take this opportunity to thank them for working with us to introduce India to the amazing 4G experience”, Gopal added.
