Old airtel sites are still Huawei ryt?

Airtel is 100% Huawei in Whole TN and Chennai Circle. Even new sites deployed are Huawei's

 

[Nithishsaba]

So, the Huawei hardware is managed by erricson?
please correct me if i am wrong.
i am a bit noob here, please enlighten me

 

[RKhan21]

@Nithishsaba right. Huawei Hardware managed by Ericsson is the reason it's slow AF. Nokia is managing Huawei HW well in Kerala and also it's well Optimised

 

[Realme]

Why the slowness of HW is related to which company is managing it, considering both are well-established company in anything related to Networks?

 

[RKhan21]

@Realme Realmeme bro Huawei has the best LTE and 5G Performance. Ericsson India is worst company who just Disables Carrier Aggregation and doesn't Optimises Network properly.

 

[Realme]

If the HW supports a capability without breaking sweat, why would one hardware manager vendor will disable the capability considering the fact that the other vendor is smooth sailing with that capability? [ after all both of them are working for the same guy: Airtel]

What are the reasons for Ericsson to Disable CA [Money to be made/lost somewhere ?]

Disclaimer: I don't have much knowledge about Wireless carriers, mybe @isp007 can comment?

 

[RKhan21]

Airtel in TN had 3CA since 2018 but 3CA Disabled overnight in 2020 when Ericsson took over due to Huawei ban. So it's no way possible that Huawei hardware isn't capable. Ever since Ericsson took over Airtel In Chennai has been slower than VIL Network. My Airtel 4G speeds at home went from 120Mbps during morning time to 50Mbps now with same signal conditions. Now we know who's problem it is.

 

[RKhan21]

Also Vi Kerala's Huawei hardware is managed by Nokia yet 4CA works properly there and it's still capable of doing 300Mbps

 

[RKhan21]

If u know anyone using Airtel in AP u can ask them ever since Ericsson took full control of Network there now even Major cities like Hyderabad don't have CA at all now.

 

[Realme]

Wait you lost me on this part: MEanwhile the Nokia is providing great services using Huawei HW but Ericssion due to Huawei ban can't use Huawei?

Both are European companies and both are working in India?

And why is Ericsson not able to provide CA?
