The agreement provides for joint working arrangements to be put in place immediately for upgradation of the optic fibre network.

You reading this post because you have an imported/foreign CDMA handset with you and its ESN/MEID is registered in Reliance database. If ESN/MEID is not registered then you can check this topic. Now you want this handset to be working on India's Largest and RIMweb's beloved CDMA network! Though this area is little tricky for n00b's, past knowledge of CDMA development plays a key role. But if you don't have anyone this post will help you (hopefully); fingers crossed! PLEASE NOTE THIS PROCESS CAN GET YOU VERY EXPENSIVE AND ULTRA MODERN PAPERWEIGHT. SO YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU DOING. IF YOU DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN THEN GET IT DONE WITH THE HELP SOMEONE AS MENTIONED IN THE FAQ TOPIC. Prerequisites 1) CDMA 800 Mhz handset (Which ofcourse you have) with its data cable. 2) CDMA workshop v 2.7 (though there are more softwares to do it, this is used commonly) - Use Google to find 2a) There is a possibility that your handset isn't supported by CDMA Workshop v 2.7. In that case you need QPST - Use Google to find 3) Knowledge of how to put your particular handset in DIAGNOSTIC mode along with its driver. You can Google that out. 3a) Though I have personally done 100's of different handset models, keeping track of each handset model is difficult. So I am mentioning the most common DIAG mode enabler below: HTC Handsets: ##3424# or ##3424+Call button. Palm/HP: ##8727277# Samsung: ##8778# and select modem. BlackBerry DIAG behaves on virtual port created by installing BlackBerry DM. This list will be huge if i keep writing. So I'll suggest if your handset isn't mentioned in this list then please ask on this topic and I will try to reply with your enabling DIAG solution. 4) Diagnostic Driver for your device. (There are so many handsets and usually there are different drivers for each devices, so this is something you have to request here, commonly used DIAG Drivers - Google for it) 5) Windows PC with XP or Win 7 32 bit. (Its very difficult to find 64 bit drivers so I'll keep and support this tutorial for 32 bit only) 6) Carrier specific NAM PRL or Preferred Roaming list file. (Check the pinned topics in Technical forum) 7) A-key or Authorization key. (will be provided by ESN/MEID Registrar or handset seller) 8) Your handset's SPC (check your handset cover box or ask your handset seller). How to / Step by Step: Note - There are many handsets/models and each time process is little different. But basic changes to latch your phone to Reliance network is mentioned here. I am using HTC DEVICE to do it for Tutorial. 1) Pick your phone and enable Diagnostic mode in it. ( I am using HTC HERO and so i punch: ##3424#). Please find your phone DIAG enabler in prerequisites above. 2) Connect your Phone to PC using Data cable and let the Driver search process begin. (mostly Driver installation failed and you have to do it manually) See pic or video. 3) Now open CDMA workshop (You might have to disable your antivirus, as the crack for CDMA workshop uses Trojan pattern) 4) Open Device manager and expand Ports (COM & LPT) there u see which COM PORT assigned for your device. In my case its Com PORT 7 5) Select that comport on CDMA workshop and press connect. and press read. 6) Go to security Tab and enter SPC and press SEND button. return message should be SPC COrrect Phone unlocked See pic. 7) Now go to Nam Tab and press load and select Reliance.nam and press write. 8) Go to CAVE and enter your akey and press write. (You might have to calculate akey, see pic for details on calculation) 9) Go to Other tab and press write under PRL select Reliance.PRL file return message should be success. 10) Now your phone is flashed on Reliance CDMA network. :thumbup: :thumbup: Note - Now after this process you need to visit Reliance webworld to transfer ur number from existing handset/RUIM to this phone. U can also use HCC (Handset Change Card) if its available and work in ur city/state. Hope you enjoy flashing your phone. Thanks.

Browse and select the file. Sample file name is like "MEIDnumber@hrpd.rcom.co.in-net-NVItem-Script-PPP-HDR-27.txt" 4) Submit the file and it will show that the NV items have been written successfully.

Free Wi-Fi Internet Services in Trains To Be Launched Today Source NEW DELHI, APRIL 2: Train journeys may not be all that boring anymore. The Indian Railways is launching free Wi-Fi based Internet services today starting with the New Delhi- Howrah Rajdhani. Fifty other trains are expected to be connected this year. Train passengers will be able to browse the web, access email, chat, video services like YouTube and even play online games while travelling. Initially, 4 Mbps download bandwidth and 512 Kbps upload bandwidth is earmarked for internet facility in moving train. However, individual users may get much lower speeds because this bandwidth will be shared by all the passengers on the train. Nirav Dave, Managing Director, Techno Sat Comm (India) Ltd, the company which is providing the technology, said that in case the demand for bandwidth becomes high the network has the intelligence to prioritise traffic. “Critical communication applications like email or online transactions will be given top priority. Video downloads and gaming would be last, if there is a crunch on the bandwidth availability,” Dave told Business Line. “We had done trials with 120 passengers simultaneously accessing different types of Internet services on a 2 Mbps bandwidth and we found that there were no issues as far as download speeds are concerned,” he added. Access to porn sites will also be blocked. Technology Internet access to passengers has been provided using two-way satellite hybrid with 2G/3G and Wi-Fi. The system consists of on-board satellite tracking antenna, multiband antenna and Wi-Fi broadcasting equipment for on-board last mile connectivity. The primary broadband link to back haul the internet traffic is established via satellite and in the event of non-availability of satellite the multi-access router automatically switches from satellite to 2G/3G links to achieve 99 per cent connectivity. The satellite antenna is placed in one of the two power cars of the rake. This is linked through Wi-Fi radios provided outside of each coach. This is further distributed inside the coaches through indoor access point. Security To comply with the DoT’s extant guidelines for user authentication for public Wi-Fi networks, a detail log in process has been put in place. For accessing the service, passengers will have to provide mobile number, PNR number, Government ID (election card, Aadhar etc) for getting unique password by SMS on the mobile. The system will be scaled up to offer interactive multimedia entertainment with Internet Television in the future. In the Budget Speech for the Financial Year 2011-12, the Finance Minister had announced the initiative. “To introduce internet access in moving train was a technological challenge considering that the train passes through all type of terrain and continuous Internet access in all weather is to be provided. After due deliberations on various options for providing internet access, Indian Railways decided for satellite communication link to the train,” Dave said. This facility will be extended free of cost to the travelling passengers. The facility is being introduced for the first time on Indian Railways through the latest technology at a total cost of Rs 6.30 crore. The Railways intends to expand this service to other Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto express trains progressively based on customer feedback and acceptance.
