Carrier Aggregation on Airtel 4G LTE

[RummaanKhan]

3 MHz is just for Indoor Volte service I think. Even here in chennai Both Jio and Airtel have 5Mhz spectrum in FDD.

@RummaanKhan may be but in delhi VIL has 5Mhz for b8 also.And in kolkata jio was using 10mhz for b3 and 5 mhz for b5.here in my state jio using 10 mhz for b5 and and 5mhz for b3.But airtel is using 10mhz for b3 here.

Airtel has more than 5Mhz in both band 3 and 8 in Kolkata. But they still have 2G running on both 900Mhz and 1800Mhz. And yeah, no band 1 for them.

@Crazyguy030601 But why they are running 2G on both 1800 and 900?they should only use it on 900.and add extra 5mhz to 4G.

7 Mhz in band 8 and 9 Mhz in band 3. All liberalised. And they still use both bands for 2G voice

Airtel is crazy

Honestly, Airtel needs to deploy more spectrum in band 8. Band 3 is still doable, but band 8 barely crosses 5Mbps.

Only TN is the state where all operators have poor spectrum portfolio.

They should properly utilise their spectrums atleast in metro cities.Using both 1800 and 900mhz for 2G in metro city is simply unaccepable.

And to add salt to the wounds, 2G voice is kind of poor as well.
