Airtel network makes inroads into the toughest terrains of
Kargil
·
Becomes the only private operator to
offer mobile connectivity in the region
·
Now provides network coverage to all
22 districts of J& K
Varanasi, 5 January, 2013:
Bharti Airtel, a leading global telecommunications company with operations in
20 countries across Asia and Africa now provides seamless voice & data
connectivity to its customers in Kargil, reinforcing Airtel’s pan India
coverage strength.
While the government has undertaken
various measures to improve tourist infrastructure in the region, lack of
accessibility and communication during winters, keeps Kargil isolated from other
parts of the country. Airtel through its network presence across all 22
districts of J&K will now allow the residents/tourists to stay connected
with their friends & family across India.
Given the extreme
weather conditions and rough terrains, the connectivity has been extended to
the region through VSAT links and specially designed telecom infrastructure which
can be adjusted as per the need in case of any unprecedented weather conditions.
With connectivity in Kargil, Airtel has covered the farthest destination on the
network coverage map of J&K.
Jagbir Singh – Director, Network Services Group,
Bharti Airtel said, “At
Airtel, it is our constant endeavour to provide superior user experience to our
customers by seamlessly connecting them wherever they go. District Kargil is known for its inclement
weather conditions and remains cut off from the rest of the country for more
than 6 months, especially during winters. The teams have worked very hard
towards this project and we are pleased to have the network deployment that will
allow the natives and tourists to stay connected to their near and dear ones
throughout the year. With this, Airtel becomes the only private operator to
have network footprints in the border district of J&K.”
