Airtel refutes Tejas Networks claim, alleges use of sub-standard gears causing problem

Bharti Airtel on Tuesday asserted that its network is facing interference issues in Rajasthan due to “sub-standard equipment” installed by Tejas Networks for BSNL’s 4G rollout, rejecting claims by the Tata Group company.

Tejas Networks on Monday claimed that the alleged interference issue Airtel is facing in Rajasthan was due to the deployment of sites closer to BSNL sites without addressing the related technical requirements.

Tata Group firm Tejas Networks is part of the TCS and C-DOT-led consortium, which has bagged a contract to roll out BSNL’s 4G network across the country.
