New Delhi: Reliance Communications and Bharti Airtel gained capability to provide 4G services across the country as they bagged requisite spectrum in the concluded spectrum auction.
The company said in a statement, “RCom becomes India’s first and only operator with nationwide footprint of contiguous 800/850 MHz spectrum. RCom operations now future-proofed across all circles for most advanced LTE technology at most optimal cost.” RIL’s telecom arm Reliance Jio already has pan-India 4G spectrum.
In a statement, Airtel said, “Post the latest spectrum acquisition, Bharti Airtel’s spectrum mix will give it unmatched reach in the mobile data segment across 3G and 4G with a pan-India footprint.” The telecom major now directly holds spectrum for 3G service in all parts of the country, except in Kolkata.
