Idea Cellular today announced that it will roll
out its own 3G services in Delhi starting
December 5. The telco claims that its “super
highway 3G network is built on the most
efficient 900 MHz spectrum band.”
The new 3G service will be powered by a data
network of 2,500 3G cell sites and 5,000
modernised 2G sites. Before this launch, Idea
has signed 3G Intra Circle Roaming
Agreements (ICRA) with Vodafone and Airtel to
offer 3G services to their subscribers.
“Idea’s first ever 3G network in a metro city
and on the most efficient 900 MHz band which
has high-calibre transmission and propagation
capabilities, will be a jam-free network,
offering high-speed internet, and unmatched
indoor internet coverage,” according to a
statement.
“Over the last two years, Idea has invested
heavily in acquiring spectrum in the most
efficient 900 MHz band and setting up a
future-ready, modernized network to cater to
the growing demand of mobile users in the
region,” said Ambrish Jain, Deputy Managing
Director, Idea Cellular
With the launch in Delhi and the impending
launch in Kolkata metro, Idea will now have its
own 3G network in 13 circles which contribute
to nearly 80 per cent of the company’s
revenue.
