Airtel begins re-farming mid-band spectrum to meet growth in 5G traffic

With the number of 5G customers rising, Bharti Airtel has begun re-farming its mid-band spectrum to meet a major growth in 5G traffic, the telecom operator said on Monday.

Airtel’s spectrum holdings across mid-bands — such as 1800, 2100, and 2300 MHz — throughout the country will be repurposed to provide 5G services. The move will allow enhanced browsing speeds in addition to improved indoor coverage.
