Airtel, which has 4G spectrum in Maharastra, Karnataka, Punjab and Kolkata, is all set to offer 4G services. It has selected LTE (TD) 4G technology and will start services soon.
The company will work with Nokia Siemens to roll out the network and manage it in the Maharashtra circle. The network will be capable of delivering up to 100 Mbps speed to end consumers.
Other companies which will also offer 4G services include Reliance Infotel (22 circles), BSNL (20 circles), Aircel (8 circles), Tikona (5 circles), Qualcomm (4 circles), MTNL (2 circles) and Augere (1 circle).
While BSNL and MTNL have used WiMax so far, all the other networks will be based on LTE standard. Augere has already announced that it will start commercial operation by April 2012 while Reliance has set the deadline to mid 2012. All the other operators are expected to roll-out services by June–July this year.
