anki_79 3 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 Reliance Jio Infocomm (RJIL), a telecom arm of RIL and Reliance Communications (RCom) announced the signing of agreements for change in spectrum allotment in 800 MHz band across 9 circles from RCom to RJIL, and for sharing of spectrum in 800 MHz band across 17 circles. As part of the enhanced strategic collaboration, both companies also intend to enter into reciprocal Intra Circle Roaming (ICR) arrangements. Access to enhanced spectrum footprint in the 800 MHz band will complement RJIL's best-inclass LTE services rollout, providing increased network coverage and superior service quality. The spectrum arrangements between RJIL and RCom will result in network synergies, enhanced network capacity and will optimise spectrum utilisation and capital expenditure efficiencies. Both operators anticipate considerable savings in operating costs and future investment in networks. RCom's customers will benefit from access to Reliance Jio's world class nationwide 4G LTE network under the reciprocal sharing and ICR agreements. The arrangements are subject to liberalisation of RCom spectrum in the 800 MHz band and obtaining requisite approvals. These agreements further strengthen the comprehensive framework of business cooperation between RJIL and RCom Group, following the nationwide long term IRU agreements for inter and intra city optical fibre networks, and for sharing of telecom tower infrastructure.

ravi_patent 28 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 according to the above agreement The subscribers of RCom will be able to access RJio's LTE network under the reciprocal sharing and ICR agreements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 Rcom users can access only the 850MHz band or 2300MHz + 1800MHz as well? If they can access all, then there is no need to go for RJio by buying new volte phone, as we can use existing phones like Lenovo A6000 on Rcom as well. It will surely affect the growth of RJio IMHO... sent from my Lenovo Vibe P1 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commonman 228 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 then RCom will need to prove special SIM that will work on CDMA as well as LTE 850, 1800, 2300 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anki_79 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 It is surprising from reports that RJIO LYF band of handset does not support 800 MHZ ....can anybody re-confirm ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravi_patent 28 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 I am curious about the reason for sale and share agreement..Is this an arrangement by which a single entity does not own 10mhz thus avoiding rule violations.Because on one hand rcom sells spectrum to rjio and on the other acquires spectrum from MTS and the merged entity (rcom+mts) wants to share spectrum. Can any one enlighten me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUDYEcaZ 67 Report post Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) http://telecomtalk.info/five-reasons-vodafone-and-idea-cant-beat-reliance-jio/148383/ Read this online today. All such articles mainly focus on spectrum holding... Dont forget AVOID is having best coverage, build over years of planning and customer feedback Jio will surely have blackspots for years. Airtel/Vodafone have enough cash and customer to fight Jio on pricing front as well. N if Jio/RCOM can do ICR for 4g/3g/2g...AVOID can also do the same Edited January 20, 2016 by SUDYEcaZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted January 20, 2016 Actually the 850MHz trade and sharing is just for covering the coverage holes.. Airtel is most probably safe with minimum churn, Idea also is almost well positioned in its leadership circles.. Only Vodafone is in big trouble, I guess.. But the problem for RJio will be NOT in form of fight from incumbents, but the mutual ICR agreements between RCom and RJio, especially if RCom can use ALL of the 4G spectrum incl 1800MHz and 2300MHz and NOT just 850MHz.. RJio has to start from ZERO customers now, but RCom already has 8+ crore customers and almost 3+ crore customers are data users.. So who will use the 4G network more???? See, if people can use 4G from RCom / RCdma, then what is the need to go for RJio??? For example, I have a corp connection of 16 numbers and only 6 of them needs data.. Its better for me to use RGsm / RCdma + 4G than buying 16 VoLTE phones (outta which 10 will never use data).. VoLTE is NOT matured enough and from my personal experience its NOT stable-enough like a simple 2G voice call.. If Mukesh ji is smart enough, I think he will allow RCom users to use just the 850MHz 4G, leaving 1800MHz and 2300MHz for himself.. But still then, the total RCom load will affect the VoLTE performance of RJio for sure... Let us wait and see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
