Bharti Airtel has joined forces with Ericsson to accelerate the deployment of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solutions across India, aiming to deliver high-speed broadband to underserved regions. Leveraging Ericsson’s advanced 5G portfolio and Airtel’s robust network reach, this collaboration seeks to bridge digital divides by offering fibre-like internet speeds over wireless connections.

Ericsson has secured a multi-year Network Operations Centre (NOC) Managed Services contract from Bharti Airtel, one of India’s largest telecom operators. The agreement empowers Ericsson to oversee Airtel’s entire nationwide network, encompassing advanced 4G, 5G NSA, and 5G SA technologies, along with Fixed Wireless Access, Private Networks, and Network Slicing. Ericsson aims to unlock greater service diversification and new revenue streams for Airtel by leveraging Intent-Based NOC operations.
