Bharti Airtel has launched its 4G services in India’s IT hub - Bengaluru. Following the recent inaugural launch of Airtel 4G services in Kolkata, customers in Bengaluru have now become the second in India to have access to cutting-edge 4G LTE technology that delivers the most advanced wireless broadband experience available across the globe. As a first for the telecom industry worldwide, Airtel has also introduced ‘Smartbytes’ for 4G - thus allowing customers to buy these add on packs and continue enjoying the 4G experience even after exhausting their monthly data limits.

Airtel’s 4G network in Bengaluru was launched by Sh. D. V. Sadananda Gowda, Hon’ble Chief Minister of the state of Karnataka.

Sanjay Kapoor, CEO - India & South Asia, Bharti Airtel said, “As seen the world over, the total data usage is exploding and is doubling each year to grow to nearly 3.6 hexabytes by 2014. With the launch of 4G, India will move from being a follower in technology to matching the world in this domain. Leading from the front, Airtel is now the only operator that gives citizens of the Information Technology capital of Bengaluru, access to entire spectrum of broadband services including 2G, 3G and now 4G - thereby giving the customers never seen before data experience”. Besides offering rich content, Airtel 4G will allow superfast access to High Definition (HD) video streaming, multiple chatting, instant uploading of photos and much more.     

As part of an exciting introductory offer by Airtel, customers subscribing to 4G services will now be given a cashback for the CPE / dongle - thus bringing device cost to customers zero and paving way for mass adoption of 4G services.
