Vi obtains 900 MHz spectrum to improve customer experience
By MYBRANDBOOK
Vi recently won 900 MHz spectrum for seven circles around the country. Vi will now deliver improved services in the following circles: Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Punjab, Kolkata, and Uttar Pradesh East.
The 900 MHz spectrum will allow the provider to improve the indoor network experience for its customers. In five of these seven circles, the telco claimed that it is now offering 900 MHz band services for the first time.
Vi has also made payments to Department of Telecommunications for this frequency. Vi has a descent spectrum holding across its 17 priority circles. It also has 2300 MHz spectrum (10 MHz bandwidth). The telecom service provider uses a mix of 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2500 MHz bands to provide excellent 4G services to clients.
Improved network services would imply that subscribers would not leave the network to port to its competitors' services as frequently as they do presently. To actually make a comeback, Vi would need to find a means to increase subscribers in the immediate term. Vodafone Idea's active user base has been quickly shrinking, and its total subscriber number has fallen to 200 million. This comes as a significant step towards holding the present user base and making it stronger for the telco to survive the cut throat competition.
In the 3300MHZ band, Vi has 50 MHz of spectrum across all 17 priority circles for 5G. For mmWave services, the telecom service provider also has the 26 GHz spectrum available. To boost its network and technology, it also plans to invest an amount of Rs 50000-55000 crore in capex in coming three years. This, combined with a robust spectrum portfolio, the corporation is anticipated provide better services to clients.
In India, the only companies providing commercial 5G services at the moment are Airtel and Jio. Vodafone Idea (Vi) remains behind in the 5G rollout, as it is the only telecom firm, among others, that has yet to commercially launch its latest generation network. Currently, the telco is using whatever revenue it can produce for itself to pay off debts.
