WTF? Jagadhari is having evdo coverage and nothing for CM city Rohtak

[Saurav 22]

In Punjab I think Reliance CDMA network is maintained by Alcatel & ZTE. Alcatel is providing EVDO but ZTE is not providing EVDOin any of areas handled by it.

Jalandhar & Hoshiarpur are handled by ZTE so no EVDO.

ZTE is also handing TATA in Jalandhar, EVDO service of TATA in available there.

I don't know why Reliance is not providing EVDO services in Jalandhar & Hoshiarpur City. Both have very good demand for EVDO, a good nnumber of Broadband users as its the NRI belt.

Recently WI5 has alsolaunched services in Hoshiarpur.

Seems only TATA is very slow in increasing EV-DO coverage...

[dkaile 1,051]

so so so strange... they have launched in Lakhimpur, Sitapur, & Shahjahanpur and not in bigger cities like Meerut... must be some relative of AA living there...

For those who are not aware, Shahjahanpur is among the least developed districts of UP. That area stinks even when seen with lower standards of Ulta Pradesh (UP).

Number of people in that district who are 12th class pass can't be above 10% of the total population. So number of EVDO users in that district will be very small. Targeting such areas first for premium services is a reason that RCOM's profits are going down and debt is increasing every quarter since last few years.

[Saurav 22]

Even in Punjab they are not covering Cities from where they can get Good Revenues.

[me_saket 73]

that was waht i commented,

Reliance in incresing city count which will not add profit. Useless cities, never heard of.

And Big city coverage is limited to just fes kilometer , even less than Muncipality limit

[kesav 127]

Reliance EVDO expansion is really breath-taking.

http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/internet/wireless_internet_coverage.html

Within a month or two, it has moved from 67 to 90 cities/towns.

Soon they'll hit a century.

Hope we subscribers may get some century GB free data offer.

:clap: :clap:

TATA looks like not interested in EVDO since they're completely focussed on HSDPA.

MTS which was sprinting till a month ago started dosing off. May be they're get caught in the license cancellation issues on the circles where they've not even started CDMA 1x.

No additions in Punjab. Only Ludhiana & Patiala.

Reliance Communications (RCOM) today announced the launch of its high speed wireless Internet EVDO service, “Netconnect Plus’’ in its 100th city Hassan in Karnataka telecom circle.

Very Well Said Tarun bros...

[kesav 127]

Kudos to Reliance for achieving this wonderful feat !!!

Reliance is the first private operator to reach the coveted milestone of 100 in 3G coverage considering players on both fronts( HSDPA and EVDO).

I feel both TATA and MTS will get ignited and catch up with Reliance in near term.

Let us wish all the best for Reliance to reach the same milestone in GSM-3G(HSDPA) in quick time when they roll-out their HSDPA n/w.

Thank you very much

[me_saket 73]

Hear from reliance people,

They will build more strong EVDO network in those circle where they didn't have 3g/HSDPA license.

[kesav 127]

If true, The move is clearly on the expected lines....

Then, we can expect USB modems from Reliance which supports both HSDPA & EVDO on the same hardware.

[santhoshavanoor 7]

Is it available in Thrissur Dist, kerala? I have checked and the coverage is only for Town area. Villages are not covered. This is the descrimination to villagers. Even they are not providing good coverage of CDMA network in our Village.
