India's fastest growing telecom operator Idea Cellular announced expansion of its high-speed 4G LTE services in over nine districts of the North East Service Area.

The telecom operator's services are now available in Agartala, Aizawl, Imphal, Kohima, Mokokchung, Senapati and Tura, in addition to Dimapur launched earlier this year.

With the rapid expansion in a fairly short span of time, Idea's 4G LTE services are now available to over 1.7 million people in North East.

"As part of the aggressive roll out of Idea's 4G LTE service, our focus has been to build a robust telecom infrastructure and provide superior internet coverage. With better internet experience at affordable tariff plans and commitment towards customer delight, we aim to provide the best experience to our subscribers," said Chief Operating Officer East Idea Cellular, Anish Roy.

In the North East market, Idea has kept its focus strong by investing heavily in securing spectrum, setting up network infrastructure and laying and maintaining the Optical FIbre Cable in tough terrain.

It offers 2G services on 1800 MHz platform in over 500 towns and villages, 3G services on intra circle roaming basis (ICR) and has now introduced its high speed 4G LTE services in the region.
