Airtel has plans to launch 4G services in Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, North East and Punjab by December 2015, Karnataka by February 2016 and Rajasthan by April 2016.

Airtel, fell silent in Hyderabad since 6 a.m. on Saturday morning with what was termed a systemic failure of its network.

Enquiries revealed that Airtel was doing some system integration and upgrades on the network that includes slightly over 2,500 cell sites in and around Hyderabad. However, somewhere in the communication loop, a snag led to what was well nigh a complete breakdown of its mobile services including voice and data.
