Aircel which has pan-India spectrum across all 22 circles, launched fourth-generation (4G) telecom services in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar and Odisha, becoming the second operator after bellwether Bharti AirtelBSE 0.07 % to offer highspeed Internet in India, and increasing the value of its broadband assets that may be put up for sale.
Aircel, majority owned by Malaysia's Maxis, bought 20 MHz of spectrum in the 2300 MHz band — used for 4G services based on TDD-LTE technology — across eight circles of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Assam and North East and Jammu & Kashmir in a government-held auction on May 2010.
While 4G services offer download speeds that are 10 times faster than 3G, most companies have delayed their rollouts in this segment, even after holding bandwidth for over four years, due to the lack of mobile devices that support TDD-LTE technology and low customer awareness. Bharti Airtel's 4G services in some cities — mostly through dongles — have not met with much success.
