“We had tested ICR agreements, but we don't see a need to invoke it right now because we don't see networks going down or seeing big networks choking,” Randeep Sekhon, chief technology officer at Bharti Airtel<\/a>, told ET Telecom in a telephonic interview.
In Orissa, during Cyclone Fani, all four telcos invoked ICR and used each other's network. “We are ready with the system if need be, I am in touch with my counterparts,” he said.
Airtel has been optimising its network at the backend and adding capacity remotely to handle the traffic increase. It has done improvements at radio, core and transports levels for its nation-wide network.
“Our traffic increased beyond what we had forecasted for Q1, but we quickly deployed those and we are in good shape now,” he said.
Sekhon also revealed Airtel is seeing lesser traffic growth in urban areas compared to the suburban and rural areas. “We saw mass migration, which probably has spread our traffic across India. Increased traffic is being seen in rural India compared to urban. We are now in a new normal.”
He said that Airtel is “very well equipped” to support rural parts of the country. “We had a rural strategy anyhow part of our business and rural capacity is already there.”

Airtel has shut down its 3G network, which has helped it with more capacity to support the traffic increase across India. “Rural is generally less utilized compared to urban. We are in very good shape.”
Video streaming services like Netflix<\/a>, Amazon, Hotstar<\/a>, Youtube recently reduced bitrates and switched off their HD services in India to reduce the load on wireless networks in India
Sekhon said that the move brought much-needed respite and helped Airtel to manage the traffic in an efficient manner. “We don't see any disruption in the essential part of the internet.

The executive said that network engineers faced challenges during physical site-checks initially, but is now getting support from all authorities and enforcement services.
“We have set up a war room to support them in case they are stopped and respective authorities are not updated. Everybody realizes the importance of these times because earlier when Police used to turn us back then their own mobiles won't work and their duties were impacted too,” he added.

Sekhon说,此举带来喘息的机会,并帮助Airtel管理一个高效的交通方式。“我们没有看到任何破坏互联网的重要组成部分。现在,人们可以观看更多视频没有耗尽他们的配额。这有助于电信公司来管理他们的流量和用户管理配额。这是一个双赢的。”

Airtel看到交通跳在农村地区;说现在不需要ICR协定
Bharti Airtel说,可能没有任何需要调用intra-circle漫游(ICR)协议与其他电信运营商网络稳定,流量稳定浪潮过去后21天的全国性封锁后宣布。
新德里消息:Bharti Airtel说,可能没有任何需要调用intra-circle漫游(只有几)协议与其他电信运营商网络稳定,流量稳定浪潮过去后21天的全国性封锁后宣布。
“我们已经测试了ICR协议,但我们不认为现在需要调用它,因为我们没有看到网络下降或看到大网络窒息,“Randeep Sekhon, Bharti的首席技术官附近的旅馆在一个电话采访中告诉ET电信。
在奥里萨邦,在气旋范尼,所有四个电信公司拥有和使用彼此的网络调用。“我们已经准备好与系统如果需要,我联系我的,”他说。
Airtel一直在优化其网络后端和远程增加产能来处理流量增加。它所做的改进在无线电、核心和运输水平的全国性网络。
“我们的交通增加超出我们预测了Q1,但是我们快速部署和我们现在的身体状况很好,”他说。
Sekhon还透露Airtel看到较小流量增长相比在城市郊区和农村地区。“我们看到大规模移民,可能在印度传播我们的交通。增加交通的印度农村与城市相比。我们现在在一个新的正常。”
他说Airtel装备“很好”来支持国家的农村地区。“我们有一个农村战略无论如何我们的业务的一部分,农村能力已经在那里了。”

Airtel已经关闭了它的3 g网络,使它有能力支持交通增加在印度。“农村少通常是利用与城市相比。我们在非常不错。”
视频流服务,如网飞公司,亚马逊,HotstarYoutube最近降低比特率和关闭他们的高清服务在印度在印度减少对无线网络的负载
Sekhon说,此举带来喘息的机会,并帮助Airtel管理一个高效的交通方式。“我们没有看到任何破坏互联网的重要组成部分。现在,人们可以观看更多视频没有耗尽他们的配额。这有助于电信公司来管理他们的流量和用户管理配额。这是一个双赢的。”
这位高管说,网络工程师面临的挑战在物理site-checks最初,但现在所有当局和执法服务的支持。
“我们已经建立了一个战争空间支持他们,以防他们停了下来,各自当局不更新。每个人都意识到这些时间的重要性,因为早些时候当警察用来把我们当时自己的手机不工作,他们的职责是影响,”他补充道。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel<\/a> said that there might not be any need to invoke intra-circle roaming (ICR<\/a>) pacts with other telecom operators as networks are stable in the country and traffic has stabilized after an initial surge after the 21-day nationwide lockdown was announced.
“We had tested ICR agreements, but we don't see a need to invoke it right now because we don't see networks going down or seeing big networks choking,” Randeep Sekhon, chief technology officer at Bharti Airtel<\/a>, told ET Telecom in a telephonic interview.
In Orissa, during Cyclone Fani, all four telcos invoked ICR and used each other's network. “We are ready with the system if need be, I am in touch with my counterparts,” he said.
Airtel has been optimising its network at the backend and adding capacity remotely to handle the traffic increase. It has done improvements at radio, core and transports levels for its nation-wide network.
“Our traffic increased beyond what we had forecasted for Q1, but we quickly deployed those and we are in good shape now,” he said.
Sekhon also revealed Airtel is seeing lesser traffic growth in urban areas compared to the suburban and rural areas. “We saw mass migration, which probably has spread our traffic across India. Increased traffic is being seen in rural India compared to urban. We are now in a new normal.”
He said that Airtel is “very well equipped” to support rural parts of the country. “We had a rural strategy anyhow part of our business and rural capacity is already there.”

Airtel has shut down its 3G network, which has helped it with more capacity to support the traffic increase across India. “Rural is generally less utilized compared to urban. We are in very good shape.”
Video streaming services like Netflix<\/a>, Amazon, Hotstar<\/a>, Youtube recently reduced bitrates and switched off their HD services in India to reduce the load on wireless networks in India
Sekhon said that the move brought much-needed respite and helped Airtel to manage the traffic in an efficient manner. “We don't see any disruption in the essential part of the internet. Now, people are able to watch more videos without running out of their quota. This helps both telcos to manage their traffic and users to manage the quota. It's a win-win for both.”
The executive said that network engineers faced challenges during physical site-checks initially, but is now getting support from all authorities and enforcement services.
“We have set up a war room to support them in case they are stopped and respective authorities are not updated. Everybody realizes the importance of these times because earlier when Police used to turn us back then their own mobiles won't work and their duties were impacted too,” he added.

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel<\/a> said that there might not be any need to invoke intra-circle roaming (ICR<\/a>) pacts with other telecom operators as networks are stable in the country and traffic has stabilized after an initial surge after the 21-day nationwide lockdown was announced.
“We had tested ICR agreements, but we don't see a need to invoke it right now because we don't see networks going down or seeing big networks choking,” Randeep Sekhon, chief technology officer at Bharti Airtel<\/a>, told ET Telecom in a telephonic interview.
In Orissa, during Cyclone Fani, all four telcos invoked ICR and used each other's network. “We are ready with the system if need be, I am in touch with my counterparts,” he said.
Airtel has been optimising its network at the backend and adding capacity remotely to handle the traffic increase. It has done improvements at radio, core and transports levels for its nation-wide network.
“Our traffic increased beyond what we had forecasted for Q1, but we quickly deployed those and we are in good shape now,” he said.
Sekhon also revealed Airtel is seeing lesser traffic growth in urban areas compared to the suburban and rural areas. “We saw mass migration, which probably has spread our traffic across India. Increased traffic is being seen in rural India compared to urban. We are now in a new normal.”
He said that Airtel is “very well equipped” to support rural parts of the country. “We had a rural strategy anyhow part of our business and rural capacity is already there.”

Airtel has shut down its 3G network, which has helped it with more capacity to support the traffic increase across India. “Rural is generally less utilized compared to urban. We are in very good shape.”
Video streaming services like Netflix<\/a>, Amazon, Hotstar<\/a>, Youtube recently reduced bitrates and switched off their HD services in India to reduce the load on wireless networks in India
Sekhon said that the move brought much-needed respite and helped Airtel to manage the traffic in an efficient manner. “We don't see any disruption in the essential part of the internet. Now, people are able to watch more videos without running out of their quota. This helps both telcos to manage their traffic and users to manage the quota. It's a win-win for both.”
The executive said that network engineers faced challenges during physical site-checks initially, but is now getting support from all authorities and enforcement services.
“We have set up a war room to support them in case they are stopped and respective authorities are not updated. Everybody realizes the importance of these times because earlier when Police used to turn us back then their own mobiles won't work and their duties were impacted too,” he added.
