  • High-speed Airtel 4G will operate in efficient 850 Mhz band
  • Expected to deliver differentiated network experience through superior indoor coverage

Airtel Lanka yesterday said that it has been allotted the 4G spectrum by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) and will soon launch its high-speed mobile broadband services across 
the country.


Airtel 4G will operate in the efficient 850 Mhz band, which has higher signal propagation. This will translate into a superior 4G network experience for customers, with wider network availability and most importantly better indoor coverage.   


Customers can also look forward to unlocking best-in-class digital experience over Airtel 4G, with a wide range of applications across entertainment and self-care from Airtel’s global portfolio. 


According to Airtel Lanka Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Ashish Chandra, “We are thankful to the Government of Sri Lanka and TRCSL for allotting us the 4G spectrum. 

We look forward to delighting customers across Sri Lanka with world-class 4G services. The 850 MHz band will enable us to deliver a truly differentiated high-speed network experience to our customers with superior indoor coverage, which is a must in today’s scenario of work from home and online education.”
