Airtel Ties Up With Ericsson For Pan-India Network Operations

Bharti Airtel on Monday announced a multi-year managed services deal with Sweden’s Ericsson to run its pan-India network operations centre.

Ericsson will manage Airtel’s 4G, 5G non-standalone, 5G standalone, fixed wireless access, private networks, and network slicing infrastructure using its intent-based operations platform. The agreement includes scaling fixed wireless access and advanced network slicing capabilities across the country.

The move strengthens Airtel’s push for next-gen network services and deepens Ericsson’s managed services presence in India.
