  7. Reliance CDMA Network Upgrade To 4G LTE

    NEW DELHI: Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Communications (RCom) along with its wholly owned subsidiary Reliance Telecom Limited (RTL) is now able to share spectrum with Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Jio in nine telecom circles--Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh (East), Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Orrisa, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Assam and North East--following an approval from the telecom department. "Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has taken on record 800Mhz Spectrum sharing in 7 circles of the Company and 2 circles of Reliance Telecom Limited (RTL), wholly owned subsidiary with RJIL on April 21 2016," RCom said in a statement today. RCom will now be able to launch 4G services in these nine circles. In addition, the move now paves way for similar arrangement in the remaining 13 circles as well, where Reliance Jio will be acquiring spectrum from RCom via spectrum trading. RCom and Jio can have a common Radio Access Network (RAN) and will not have to duplicate the radio network investment. Both the telcos will now able to offer 4G services on 10 MHz block in sub GHz spectrum (800 Mhz band). From ITU standards, a 10 Mhz block can provide up to 80 Mbps speeds and, with the 800 Mhz spectrum advantage, this can deliver Internet faster than many wire-line broadband or Wi-Fi services offered today at a much more affordable cost. The subscriber capacity also multiplies exponentially when spectrum is combined into a single block of 10 Mhz. RCom, in a statement, said that this spectrum capability can be compared to services provided by Global Telecom Leaders like AT&T and Verizon.

  11. Reliance CDMA Network Upgrade To 4G LTE

    Reliance Communications mobile stores will start getting 4G SIMs starting some time next week for offering it to existing CDMA subscribers, said a source based in Kerala. However, till Jio’s full launch, neither new CDMA connections nor new 4G connections will be sold by RCom. Only upgrades to existing CDMA users will be provided. As we reported earlier, Reliance Communications — promoted by Anil Ambani — has put up a sign on its website saying 4G upgrade is coming soon. It has also started sending text messages to its CDMA subscribers that their service is going to be upgraded to 4G soon and they can call on 1299 to get more details about how to get a new 4G SIM. According to our source in Kerala, Reliance Mobile stores across the state have already placed orders for new 4G SIMs and stock is expected to come “after the 25th.” Once stock comes, anyone who has a Reliance CDMA connection can walk in, pay Rs 100 and get the USIM replaced by a new 4G capable SIM. The person said that as of now, higher officials are saying that existing plans of CDMA customers will remain in place and will not be changed. “It will simply be a change of network technology. Tariff plans will not be changed,” said the person. However, he added that since 4G is a more efficient and data-focused technology, cheaper data plans could be introduced after Jio’s commercial launch. NO NEW CONNECTIONS TILL JIO LAUNCH The source said RCom’s initial launch of 4G will be in the ‘soft mode’, just like in case of Reliance Jio. As a result, at least in the beginning, focus will be on upgrading existing customers to 4G and not on selling new 4G connections. This is likely the result of some agreement with Reliance Jio. If RCom were to start selling new 4G connections even before Jio starts full commercial launch, it could affect Jio’s prospects when it does launch. As a result, RCom is likely to have agreed not to sell new connections, but only offer upgrade SIMs to existing CDMA customers. 50% DISCOUNT FOR 4G DONGLES The person also said Reliance Communications will also be offering a 50% discount on dongle prices for those who want to exchange their old Reliance Communications data dongle (data card). The old dongles will not work on the new RCom-Jio shared 4G network as it uses a totally different technology known as LTE. These new 4G data dongles are likely to have a price of 2,000-3,000 without discount, the person said. An exchange discount of 50% would mean that the current EVDO or CDMA dongle will be valued at Rs 1,000-1,500 by the company under the offer. The initial cost of an RCom EVDO dongle is around Rs 800-1,500, depending on whether it is a Revision A device or a Rev B device. CDMA SALES STOPPED To ensure that people do not try to ‘misuse’ the upgrade offer to get hold of new connections, Reliance Communications has stopped activating new CDMA connections. This does not mean that it is necessarily abandoning CDMA services, as it also has MTS’ spectrum for continuing CDMA services. However, it does mean that till Jio launches its 4G service on a full and commercial level, RCom will not be selling new CDMA connections, or 4G connections to new customers. The person also said that senior RCom officials have guided December as the time when restrictions on new connections will be lifted, indicating that Jio too will transition from ‘soft launch’ to ‘hard launch’ by that time. WHY THE UPGRADE OFFER? The primary reason why RCom is being allowed to upgrade its CDMA subscribers to RCom-Jio’s joint 4G network is the need for Jio to test the 800 MHz spectrum. Since 800 MHz is coming from RCom’s CDMA service, when Jio starts testing it, RCom’s CDMA subscribers will face a lot of service issues, especially in the 14 telecom zones where MTS is not operating. To compensate for this disturbance, Jio is reported to have agreed to let RCom’s CDMA subscribers move to its 4G network even before it starts full commercial operations. RCOM’S CDMA (4G) DATA TARIFF image: http://rtn.asia/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/RCOM-prepaid-4g-tariff-300x239.png Since existing offers are likely to be continued, RCom’s website gives a clue about how much a 4G user will have to pay for data after the upgrade. According to RCom’s website, there are broadly three postpaid plans for dongle users — 5 GB, 10 GB and 40 GB. The 5 GB postpaid plan is priced at Rs 599 plus tax, which should work out to about Rs 675 per month, or Rs 135 per GB. The 10 GB pack is priced at Rs 799, which should cost about Rs 900 after tax, implying Rs 90 per GB. The 40 GB pack costs Rs 999, or about Rs 1120 after tax, bring the per-GB cost to Rs 28, making it the cheapest high-speed data plan in the country. The above are tariff for RCom’s postpaid service. In addition, RCom also offers prepaid data tariff. However, here, there are three types of tariffs. The first tariff chart is for mobile handset use. Here, for Rs 250, you get 4 GB of EVDO (high-speed data). However, there are no plans that offer more than 4 GB of data. The second rate-card is for old EVDO data cards (also known as HSD service or EVDO Rev A), while the third tariff card is for Rev B devices. If you own a Rev B device, then you cannot use a Rev A recharge and vice versa. Though there was a lot of difference between the two tariff charts, RCom has, of late, brought both of them into sync to a large extent. According to Rev A rates, you get 2 GB for Rs 255 per month and 5 GB for Rs 499 including tax. For Rs 999, you get 10 (12 GB in some states) of day-time data and another 10 or 12 GB of night-time usage. Rev B rates are also similar, except in circles like AP, Chennai, Maharashtra and Mumbai where you get only 15 GB for 999 recharges. Both Rev A and Rev B plans also contain long validity jumbo packs. In both, you can get 18 GB valid for three months at Rs 1500 and 36 GB valid for six months at Rs 2,999. Meanwhile, a Youtube video has revealed Reliance Jio’s soft launch plans and tariffs.

  15. Reliance CDMA Shutting down

    Reliance Communications will move its five million CDMA customers to Jio's 4G LTE network from May 4. While the users will continue to be RCom subscribers, the network will be powered by Jio's all-IP based next generation network. The Anil Ambani-led RCom is leveraging the spectrum sharing pact it had signed with elder brother Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio Infocomm for 4G services. The company will deploy its own 4G network and pre-dominantly use Reliance Jio infrastructure to deliver 4G services. The upgrade will happen in a phased manner. The first four circles to upgrade will be Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Odisha. To enable customer migration, RCom will offer attractive deals on 4G handsets, which could be in collaboration with Reliance Retail. In a letter earlier this week to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), RCom wrote it intends to offer 4G LTE services to its CDMA subscribers, following the liberalisation of its spectrum in the 800 MHz band. RCom paid Rs 5,383 crore in January this year to DoT to liberalise spectrum in the 800 MHz band across 16 circles. The approval for the same came on Thursday. In 2013, the Ambani brothers had entered into a comprehensive agreement for optimal utilisation of the existing and future (telecom) infrastructure of both companies on a reciprocal basis. While the spectrum trading and sharing agreements will give older brother's Jio access to the much-needed spectrum in the 800 MHz band, Anil Ambani's RCom subscribers can now enjoy high-speed mobile broadband seamlessly on both the networks. The arrangement will be similar to intra-circle roaming arrangements that telcos currently have. The migration of RCom's customers to Jio's network will also be a good test case. Analysts have raised questions on Jio's ability to offer voice services purely on LTE (VoLTE) as it would not have the conventional method of delivering voice through wireless networks. Jio intends to offer voice through its data networks, which is similar to making calls on Skype or WhatsApp. The partnership with RCom to offer the fallback on voice in select markets could be a game-changer for Jio. Sources claim these tests are already underway. Jio is also moving closer to launching its services after the Union Cabinet approved the use of Trai's reserve price as the provisional price to liberalise spectrum in the 800 MHz band where no auction had taken place to determine market prices. Jio's spectrum sharing deal with RCom was stuck as there were four markets where price for legacy spectrum could not be determined. Now the spectrum sharing and trading deal in these four circles (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Rajasthan) will also go through. Sources claim DoT is expected to issue demand notice next week for these circles. RCom will pay Rs 1,300 crore to liberalise spectrum in these circles, and the spectrum will be liberalised in 30 days. The process of migration of RCom's CDMA customers will be complete once spectrum sharing deal is through for all 22 circles by mid-August. By Mid-August, Jio will have access to 800 MHz spectrum in all 22 circles, paving the way for a formal launch. Deutsche Bank Markets Research in a note dated April 7 says, the Cabinet decision paves the way for Jio's launch around June 2016. The note says, "The Cabinet decision is crucial for the Jio-RCom spectrum deal. Jio and RCom have entered into a spectrum trading-cum-sharing deal across most markets which requires RCom to liberalise its spectrum before sharing. However, there were four markets which did not have an auction-based price and hence the necessity of the policy decision. The DoT has a 45-day period to approve the sharing of spectrum after the operators file for such a request. We expect Jio and RCom to file for sharing immediately." Following the deal, both RCom and Jio will have over 10 MHz spectrum in the 800-MHz band in all 22 circles or service areas across India. Jio has acquired spectrum in this band in 10 circles and RCom has it in all 22 circles.
