Bharti Airtel and Ericsson have strengthened their long-standing partnership with a renewed multi-year contract to supply and deploy 5G-ready radio and transport solutions from Ericsson.
The continued deployment of Ericsson Radio System products and solutions is claimed to enhance Airtel’s network capacity. By using MINI-LINK 6000 products, the network’s backhaul capacities will also be increased, claims Airtel.
The extended agreement follows the announcement of a renewed Pan-India managed services contract in July of this year.
Randeep Sekhon, CTO, Bharti Airtel, said: “At Airtel, we are obsessed with delivering the best network experience to our customers, especially in these unprecedented times when digital connectivity is more important than ever. We are delighted to deepen our partnership with Ericsson as part of our endeavor to build a network ready for 5G and beyond.”
Nunzio Mirtillo, Head of Ericsson South East Asia, Oceania and India, said: “We appreciate the trust Airtel has shown in us by making their network 5G-ready and expanding our footprint in their network.”
