Bharti Airtel has announced the completion of phase one of its network upgrade in Nairobi area. The exercise involved a comprehensive change of hardware and expansion of
radio network elements.
This has now significantly enhanced network signals and improved voice quality for Airtel customers. Phase two of the upgrade which involves improving data speed is in progress and is expected to offer a stable and faster internet service.
This upgrade, under which Nokia Networks, one of the world’s leading specialists in mobile broadband deployed the latest wireless technologies, will enhance Airtel’s network capacity, robustness and help deliver best-in-class experience that include stronger and faster data speeds.

The network upgrade makes Airtel Kenya 4G LTE ready. In November last year, Airtel Africa launched 4G in Seychelles and Rwanda, making the two countries amongst the first in sub Saharan Africa to commercially deploy the 4G network technology.
