Telecom company Bharti Airtel is learnt to have identified vendors for rolling out its broadband wireless services in four circles it bagged in a government auction last year.

Bharti is likely to adopt a strategy to split its broadband wireless access (BWA) circles among different vendors to optimise costs and leverage relationships with existing equipment suppliers.

It used a similar strategy while awarding third generation (3G) contracts that were divided between three vendors. ET has learnt that that telco may offer the Kolkata circle to Chinese gear maker ZTE while its competitor Huawei may get the Karnataka circle. The European vendors Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks, that have had a long-term relationship with the telco, are likely to get the Punjab and Maharashtra circles respectively.

LTE is a technology platform that allows very high-speed access to data and transfer of huge amounts of data via dongles and compatible mobile phones. Bharti Airtel paid Rs 3,314.36 crore for getting airwaves that supported LTE services in four circles – Maharashtra, Karnataka, Punjab and Kolkata – in a government auction held last year.
