Bharti Airtel has signed a new agreement with Ericsson to power its Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services in India using Ericsson's core network portfolio. Ericsson is deploying its new Local Packet Gateway (LPG) platform, which delivers higher capacity with a smaller footprint and better total cost of ownership. The deal builds on their previously announced dual-mode 5G Core partnership and supports Airtel's move toward 5G Standalone (SA). Airtel has over 590 million customers across 15 countries, and this rollout aims to improve network quality and handle growing data demand for FWA users, especially at peak times.
Positive for Airtel's 5G and FWA growth strategy — strengthens network infrastructure to support rising data usage and 5G monetisation. No immediate financial impact disclosed, but reinforces Airtel's competitive positioning in India's broadband market.
