Indian operator Bharti Airtel has launched LTE services in three cities - Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula — in Punjab. The company, which had earlier launched 4G LTE services in Kolkata, Bangalore and Pune, is now readying to launch the services in the remaining licence areas.

In 2010, Airtel had successfully won for Broadbrand and Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum in Kolkata, Karnataka, Punjab and Maharashtra (excluding Mumbai) circles.

Last year, Bharti Airtel also acquired 49 per cent stake in Qualcomm AP’s India entities that had BWA licences in Delhi, Mumbai, Haryana and Kerala.
