Airtel has deployed the 4G Advanced technology (carrier aggregation
across TD (Time Division) LTE and LTE FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) in
major cities across Tamil Nadu.
Airtel 4G Advanced is now available to
customers in Chennai, Madurai, Hosur, Vellore, Puducherry, Tiruchi,
Coimbatore, Salem & Tirupur.
In a statement, Airtel said the deployment will result in a superior 4G
experience through considerably faster data speeds and better coverage –
indoors and outdoors. Customers would require devices that support 4G
Advanced and wil be able to get mobile data speeds of up to 135 Mbps.
Airtel launched its 4G services in Tamil Nadu starting from Chennai in
May 2015 on the 1800 Mhz band using the FDD LTE standard and recently
added capacity on the 2300 Mhz band using TD LTE. With today’s rollout,
Tamil Nadu is among the few places globally to have high speed data
services over 4G Advanced.
Under the carrier aggregation deployment, the capacities of TD LTE (2300
MHz spectrum band) and FD LTE (1800 MHz spectrum band) have been
combined to enable better spectrum utilisation and efficiency. In
February 2016, Airtel deployed India’s first carrier aggregation in
Kerala and the network achieved 4G data speeds of up to 135 Mbps on
commercially available mobile devices.
