Airtel, India’s largest mobile operator, recently announced the commercial launch of its high speed 4G LTE services in Guruvayoor & Kottayam, taking the number of its 4G towns in Kerala to 150. The launch is part of Airtel’s ongoing Network Transformation Program - Project Leap.
Now, customers across the state can experience high speed wireless broadband on Airtel 4G and get on to the digital superhighway to enjoy uninterrupted HD video streaming, superfast uploading and downloading of movies, music and images, said the operator in a statement.
Airtel has led the 4G story in India, having launched India’s first 4G network in Kolkata in April 2012 and having deployed India’s first commercial LTE-Advanced (4G+) network early last year in Kerala that can deliver mobile data speeds up to 135 Mbps.

We launched Kerala’s First 4G Network in Kochi last August and in just eight months our 4G presence has spread to 150 towns. As customers in Kerala show an increasing propensity for consuming data services, we at Airtel are excited to take the lead in introducing the market to the power of blazing 4G speeds.
