Aircel sets sites on 4G

Aircel is set to become the second operator to offer LTE services in India, International Business Times reports, citing the cellco’s regional business chief K Sankara Narayanan. The executive said that the Malaysian-backed company has placed orders for 4G LTE equipment and expects testing and trials to take a minimum of six months.
