 "Videocon to launch 4G services in 6 circles")
Addressing the media here in Chandigarh, Videocon Telecommunications Ltd, Director & CEO, Arvind Bali said, " The spectrum won by us in the auction last year for 6 circles was paired and liberalized, ie, the spectrum can be used to roll out Next Generation Networks and Services by adapting a highly spectrally efficient 4G technology FDD LTE. This enables operators to gain more efficiency using the same spectrum resources. Next-generation network technologies enable about 30 times more data capacity than a traditional 2G network, allowing telcos to extend the lifespan of existing spectrum assets and reduce the amount of additional spectrum required. We are planning to roll out complete 4G products & services across the newly won circles by the end of this fiscal year."On being about the finances, he mentioned that it is being currently worked out.
"We have spectrum in 7 circles(including Punjab) constituting a very high population footprint in India. "With the roll out of services in these circles, we would be serving 45 per cent of the total population of India, he added. It is worth mentioning that Videocon Mobile Services launched operations in Punjab two years ago.
