mastermunj 10 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 They don't seem to have coverage between Malad & Dahisar areas of western suburbs in Mumbai. So Malad, Kandivali, Borivali & Dahisar aren't covered as yet.. Sent from my HTC PO682 using Tapatalk I've seen some fiber cable layout being done in Malad area. Seems they will have good coverage of Mumbai before they do official launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ni0987 179 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Just saw another article with some pictures of the Jio Infra: http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/report-reliance-jio-infocomm-demos-4g-lte-for-the-first-time-in-mumbai-1946643 Pictures from the link. They plan to offer entire communication needs of a home/office. Data, Mobile voice, LL voice, IPTV. Pictures shows a person needs to install signal receiver, Wifi router, IPTV box and another box (purpose unknown). Do you think an average person would be able to pay for this setup? Can we spare time for taking care of these boxes? I suggest all this should be merged in one box except the receiver box (so that it could be placed for best signal-reception).

digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 It is industry standard ftth & triple play - the same that is being used in uk etc Not a single box is extra or redundant Trust me As I had said long back, this will be a game changer in India 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arun 795 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 It is band 40 (2300 Mhz) for TDD-LTE in India, so no support for any of those handsets. iPhone 5S A1530 and 5C A1529 released in India supports it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaurangbhartia 19 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Hmm... I thought maybe the Band is supported after tinkering with the software... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
st_7 138 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) ^^^ It's kind of software but the correct term is Firmware, and it's propreitary software(firmware) of the corresponding company(Ex: Qualcomm etc.,), they simply don't provide the drivers for the band to work so even though most of the models of the present generation high end smartphones use same chips, certain bands are disabled(it's called hardware disabled) in some models by not providing the necessary binaries for the hardware to work. The best example is Nexus 4, even though it had firmware to support LTE in North America, Google & LG haven't advertised it and after it was found that LTE is enabled in Nexus 4 by the users, they started using it, then only Google pushed an update that disabled LTE support.

st_7 138 Report post Posted January 14, 2014 ^^^ CDMA spectrum(800 MHZ) is most efficient spectrum for DATA(other than 700 MHZ), any carrier would love to hold that efficient spectrum, I'll not be surprised if MDA back Reliance Jio Info buys RCOM's CDMA arm thus buying 800MHZ spectrum. In the next Spectrum auction, Government is selling some blocks in 900MHZ spectrum, which many companies are eyeing to latch on to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hiteshkkk1 327 Report post Posted January 15, 2014 Reliance Jio Starts Deploying LTE Towers In NCR : http://m.lightreading.in/lightreadingindia/news-analysis/287077/reliance-jio-starts-deploying-lte-towers-ncr-sources?utm_source=referrence_article Gagandeep Sodhi| January 14, 2014| The much-awaited launch of Reliance Jio Infocomm is getting closer. The company has started deploying towers in the National Capital Region (NCR), according to reliable industry sources. "The testing phase is over now and Reliance Jio has started deploying Global Base Monopole towers in Noida and Greater Noida," said a well-placed industry source. Though the date of the launch is not known, it is no longer a secret that the company would launch operations in the metro cities of New Delhi and Mumbai. Reliance Jio Infocomm recently granted media preview of its services. (See: Reliance Jio Inches Closer To Launch.) This was corroborated by another well-placed industry source. "Yes, the towers have come up in Noida and Greater Noida and they belong to Reliance Jio. All the infrastructure deals have been closed and the company is gearing up for the launch of the services now." Reliance Jio had granted order for Li-ion telecom batteries for 10,000 Global Base Monopole (GBM) sites across the country.
