The merger between Aircel and Reliance Communications failed due to legal and regulatory delays in receiving approvals, as well as increased competition in the telecom sector. This led to a critical situation for Aircel, as it had to shut down its 2G and 3G services in all circles. To solve this, Aircel deployed WiMAX networks using Alvarion's BreezeMAX platform to provide stable and reliable broadband access as an alternative to traditional copper lines. This enabled Aircel to faster expand its networks, increase revenues, and accelerate its return on investment.
