Airtel refutes Tejas Networks claim, alleges use of sub-standard gears causing problem
A What happened
Bharti Airtel has publicly accused Tejas Networks of causing network interference in Rajasthan due to the use of sub-standard equipment for BSNL's 4G rollout. Airtel claims that the equipment radiates signals beyond acceptable limits, interfering with its own network operations. Tejas Networks, however, has rejected these allegations, asserting that the interference is a result of Airtel's sites being too close to BSNL's without proper technical adjustments. The Department of Telecom has intervened, reportedly advising BSNL to deploy filters to address the interference issue. This situation highlights the complexities of spectrum allocation and the need for compliance with technical standards in telecommunications.
