Buoyed by its successful launch of 4G services in Kolkata on Tuesday, Bharti Airtel has now announced that it is ready to repeat the feat in Bangalore in 30 days, though this time it has chosen ZTE’s rival Huawei as its network equipment vendor in the city.

"We will be ready for launching it (4G service) in Bangalore in 30 days time. We have selected Huawei (as network equipment vendor) for Bangalore," Bharti Airtel CEO Sanjay Kapoor told reporters during a conference call. 

Airtel had selected ZTE, provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions to plan, design, supply and deploy its 4G network in Kolkata.   

The launch of 4G services, will allow Bharti Airtel subscribers to experience, high speed wireless internet access that can support bandwidth intensive applications, support video streaming and high-definition video conferencing.

Kapoor said that  company has not got approval to provide voice and sms service to users on 4G network, Kapoor said. 

Airtel has selected Nokia Siemens Network for its launch in Maharashtra and is yet to finalise telecom equipment vendor for Punjab circle. Airtel has selected Pune and Chandigarh to start 4G service in Maharashtra and Punjab respectively. 

The company expects that consumer will get 10 times higher broadband speed compared to the speed that people get on 3G network. 

"No one can tell exact speed that can be delivered on a wireless network because various factors govern it. However, we have seen data speed of around 1.2 to 2 mbps on 3G network. The 4G data speed should be 10 times higher," Kapoor said.
