Aircel on Wednesday became the second operator off the mark to start 4G, or fourth generation, telecom services in India after bellwether Bharti Airtel. The Chennai-based company started 4G in four service areas, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar and Odisha, it said in a public statement.
"The wireless broadband services offered will help customers transform their workplaces and homes into 'smarter' entities," said Anupam Vasudev, Chief Marketing Officer, Aircel.
Aircel bought 20MHz of spectrum in the 2300 MHz band across eight circles in a government held auction in May 2010. The rollout obligation deadline for the purchased airwaves ends in 2015. The company pips the much anticipated similar launch from Reliance Industries' Jio Infocomm.
