Ladakh, April 12, 2023: Bharti Airtel
(“Airtel”), one of India’s leading telecommunications services
providers, today, announced the launch of its cutting edge 5G
services in the Union Territory of Ladakh.
Airtel 5G Plus services will be available to
customers in a phased manner as Airtel continues to construct
its network and complete the roll out. Customers with
5G-enabled devices will enjoy a high-speed Airtel 5G Plus
network at no extra cost until the roll out is more
widespread. Airtel will augment its network making its
services available to all the cities across the Union
Territory in due course.
Commenting on the launch,
Adarsh Verma, COO, Bharti Airtel, Jammu, Kashmir &
Ladakh,
said,
“Bringing 5G connectivity to our customers in Ladakh is in
line with our commitment to bridging the digital divide and
connecting not only the tourists who flock here to see the
scenic landscapes but also the residents of this remarkable
Union Territory. Customers can now experience ultrafast
networks and enjoy speeds up to 20-30 times faster than the
current 4G speeds. We are in the process of lighting up the
entire Union Territory which will allow customers to enjoy
superfast access to high-definition video streaming, gaming,
multiple chatting, instant uploading of photos and
more.”
Customers will now be able to experience ultrafast, reliable
and secure 5G Plus services without having to worry about data
exhaustion as the company removes the capping on data usage
across all existing plans.
Airtel 5G Plus will bolster the entire
portfolio of services that Airtel offers, revolutionising
education, healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, mobility
and logistics.
In the last one year, Airtel has demonstrated the power of 5G
with a host of powerful use cases that will change the way
customers lead their lives and do business. From India’s first
live 5G network in Hyderabad to India’s first private 5G
network at the BOSCH facility in Bengaluru to partnering with
Mahindra & Mahindra to make its Chakan manufacturing facility,
India’s first 5G enabled auto manufacturing unit, Airtel has
been at the forefront of 5G innovation.
