they have two gsm models which cover a lot of frequencies. so i would imagine that it should be compatible once the government regulations allow voice over lte. looks like not!
GSM model A1428*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 4 and 17)
CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25)

i have no idea what indian operators are using. web searches are confusing to me.

The Airtel CPE specs (Huawei B593) seem to be LTE 700/1700 (dont know which "bands" they are) so could it be possible for Airtel to deliver 4G over LTE 700/1700 and also 2300 TDD that @manu1991 you state?Also the Airtel dongle (Huawei E392) seems to be LTE DD800/900/1800/2100/2600 mhz, so I doubt it's 2300 TDD as you say?
No idea. I just read http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/bharti-airtel-first-to-deploy-lte-in-india-launching-in-kolkata/?m=false and a few other sites that said airtel uses the 2300 Mhz band.
IIRC, we had an Airtel 4G user here. Maybe he can confirm.

engadget etc. do not really have many sources in india to verify such information. from what i have seen, their india related posts are based on newspaper articles which can and are usually inaccurate about such details. shame that airtel customer care would also have little idea about this specific information.
