Hyderabad, Jun 10 :Leading telecom operator Vi on Thursday said that it has reframed 3G spectrum to 4G on a majority of its sites in Hyderabad and Warangal and significantly enhanced the GIGAnet 4G capacity in these cities.
This is part of a bigger exercise undertaken by the company to migrate its 3G spectrum to 4G across AP and Telangana telecom circle, of which it has already completed the exercise in Vizag district, Vijayawada, Guntur & Kakinada towns, the telecom provider said in a statement.
The reinforcement of its existing 4G infrastructure with 5 MHz of 2100 MHz band in these cities, means that Vi customers in Hyderabad and Warangal will get to enjoy higher download and upload speeds apart from better indoor coverage.
The existing 4G infrastructure has been ramped up with the migration of 3G spectrum to 4G, giving Vi GIGAnet 4G the triple advantages of wider coverage, network quality as well as stronger traffic carriage capacity in Hyderabad and Warangal.
Vi customers can enjoy the better 4G experience when they use a 4G SIM in a 4G handset. Vi 3G customers can upgrade to a 4G SIM free of cost and harness the full potential of Vi GIGAnet.
Arvind Nevatia, Cluster Business Head- Andhra Pradesh & Telangana, Karnataka, Vodafone Idea, said supplementing the existing 4G infrastructure with the expansion on 2100 MHz layer has brought about enhanced data speeds, besides a better indoor network experience for Vi customers in Hyderabad and Warangal. We have seen a significant growth in data traffic in these two cities post the completion of 3G to 4G refarming exercise. Efforts are on to complete this exercise in the rest of AP & Telangana at an early date.(UNI)
