There has been  huge growth in subscriber demand for high-speed 4G mobile broadband and internet services in India. Bharti Airtel, a leading Indian operator, is banking heavily on this growth. “I see the future of telecommunications as very bright – all over the developing markets,” commented Manoj Kohli, joint managing director of Bharti Airtel, recently. To meet pent-up demand in India, the operator is planning to launch commercial TD-LTE services this year.

Bharti Airtel has selected Nokia Siemens Networks, the no. 1 vendor in the Indian market, to supply and manage a TD-LTE network to deliver services like instant internet access and video streaming, which our engineers demonstrated with a successful trial. “[Our] customers are feeling very good about the network which NSN has put in,” said Kohli.
