ZTE to deploy 4G LTE Network for Aircel

ZTE India has entered into an agreement with Aircel to deploy its 4G LTE network in India. This will boost Enterprise and Retail business for Aircel.
Speaking on the occasion, Xu Dejun, CEO, ZTE India said, “We are happy to partner with Aircel to rollout their 4G LTE network in India. We are fully committed to plan, design, supply and deploy state of the art LTE ecosystem which will help Aircel offer unprecedented experience to their customers.”
In the first stage, the LTE deployment will be initiated in Chennai, rest of Tamil Nadu (RoTN) and few other business critical circles.
This announcement comes at a time when ZTE completes the migration of Aircel’s data services to ZTE’s 4G LTE evolved packet core for Chennai and RoTN circles.

The fulfillment of the evolved packet core deployment in the south zones further cements the long term partnership between the two companies. ZTE has enabled Aircel with high capacity and capability solutions with access agnostic functions for 2G, 3G and 4G LTE services.
