Bharti Airtel announces major network expansion in Wayanad and Kozhikode
In a significant move to densify its network and enhance connectivity in India, Bharti Airtel, a leading telecommunications service provider, today declared the deployment of additional sites across Wayanad and Kozhikode districts. This strategic expansion aims to bolster customer experience by improving both voice and data connectivity for a population base of 17.8 lakh across 48 towns and 293 villages.
Customers residing in the tehsils of Kozhikode, Thamarassery, Quilandy, Vadakara, Mananthavady, Sulthanbathery, and Vythiri are set to directly benefit from this network augmentation. This initiative is especially crucial for those in rural and smaller towns in Wayanad and Kozhikode, ensuring seamless access to high-speed connectivity. The upgrade is a testament to Airtel’s commitment to enhancing connectivity for its customers, facilitating reliable mobile networks essential for work, study, and entertainment purposes.
Highlighting its dedication to improving network coverage, Airtel has announced its rural enhancement project aimed at augmenting network connectivity across 60,000 villages nationwide by 2024. With a particular focus on Kerala, the project includes expanding network coverage across 1,600 villages and 355 towns, covering the entire state. This expansion is part of Airtel’s broader initiative to bring high-speed connectivity to high-potential villages and ensure the growth of data services demand in the region.
Airtel’s network expansion is not limited to urban centers; it extends to key urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, including highways, tourist destinations, and trade centers. With this initiative, popular tourist spots ranging from hill stations to beaches across Kerala will enjoy an enhanced network footprint. Specifically, hill stations in Wayanad, Idukki, and Pathanamthitta will benefit from improved connectivity, making Airtel’s services accessible even in the most remote locations.
This expansion by Bharti Airtel is a forward-looking step towards addressing the burgeoning demand for reliable and high-speed internet connectivity across Kerala. By focusing on both urban and rural areas, Airtel is poised to significantly impact the digital landscape of the state, promoting inclusivity and accessibility in digital services. This initiative not only supports the current demand but also anticipates future growth in data consumption, making it a strategic investment in the region’s digital infrastructure.
