Airtel rolls out Platinum 3G network in Itanagar under “Project Leap”

NEW DELHI: India’s top telecom service provider Bharti Airtel has launched its Platinum 3G network for customers in Itanagar under “Project Leap”.

Itanagar is the capital of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. Itanagar is situated at the foothills of Himalayas. It comes administratively under Papum Pare district.

Airtel’s Platinum 3G will deliver faster internet speeds, enhance voice clarity and offer a superior network experience for customers in the circle.

Additionally, Platinum 3G will help optimize the backend engagement between the network and mobile devices, thus allowing customers to enjoy extended battery life on their phones.

Operator has recently commenced the implementation of its network transformation program “Project Leap” in North East and Assam.

With a national investment of Rs. 60,000 Crores over the next three years, Airtel’s “Project Leap” is a strategic company initiative aimed at perceptibly improving its network quality and delivering the best customer experience.

“Today we are pleased to offer Platinum 3G services to our customers in Itanagar. In line with our long term growth strategy for North East and Assam, we will be investing heavily in upgrading our network and providing seamless customer experience across various technologies under “Project Leap”," said Sameer Anjaria, CEO, Airtel North East and Assam.

Earlier in July 2015, Airtel had introduced 4G services in North East. With Airtel 4G and Platinum 3G both available in the circle now, Airtel is uniquely positioned to become the only network in North East to leverage these world class technologies towards delivering the ultimate ‘Smartphone Network’ experience for its customers.
