Airtel expands 4G footprint deeper into rural pockets of Ladakh

Over a dozen remote villages in the twin districts of Leh and Kargil in the Union Territory of Ladakh got their first 4G experience on Tuesday over Bharti Airtel’s ultra-fast network, a company spokesperson said.

Airtel was the first operator to launch the 4G services in Ladakh and has the widest 4G footprint in the region, the spokesperson said.

“Airtel is the first operator to bring high-speed mobile broadband to these villages including Sankoo, Lankarche, Ghumri, Barchey, Sanjak, Garkone in Kargil and Achinathang, Lehdo, Tia and Skurbuchan in Leh,” he said.

He said the company’s network teams have worked relentlessly to overcome harsh terrain and difficult weather conditions to take mobile broadband to even remote geographies.
