Aircel, which has won 4G spectrum in eight circles, is conducting trials in Andhra Pradesh but will take a while to launch the services.
“The trials are currently on but we don’t have the required ecosystem, including the 4G-enabled mobile handsets, to launch the services commercially,” Deepinder Tiwana, business head, Andhra Pradesh circle, told reporters in Hyderabad yesterday.
Reliance, which also has 4G spectrum in Andhra Pradesh, is expected to roll out the services by this year end.
Aircel has 4G spectrum in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu (including Chennai), West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, Assam, North-East, Jammu & Kashmir.
