Ceragon to Further Increase Airtel India’s 4G Network Capacity and Support Rural Network Expansion
Airtel selects Ceragon’s flexible wireless hauling solutions and services to expand its nation-wide 4G reach and lay foundation for 5G evolution
New Delhi and Little Falls, New Jersey, April 24, 2020 - Bharti Airtel (BHARTIARTL; NSE), India’s largest integrated telecommunications company, and Ceragon Networks Ltd.

first quarter of 2020.

expand its coverage in rural regions as well as prepare for its future evolution to 5G. Ceragon is working closely with Airtel to pursue rapid deployment of its microwave radios, as best it can, considering India’s recent temporary lockdown.

4G networks, as well as evolve to 5G,” said Ira Palti, president and CEO of Ceragon. “The orders received are partially reflected in our Q1 results. Ceragon is committed to supporting Airtel during these challenging times, and as it continues to
