kesav 127 Report post Posted January 10, 2011 As I've not seen a relevant topic for discussing TATA's EVDO coverage, I've started this thread. Let me begin by giving some good news. After a long lull in the EVDO segment, TATA is beginning to show some movement with addition of cities/towns to its list. http://www.tataphoton.com/tata-photon-plus-on-computer.aspx Let us hope TATA will expand at least at the half of the pace at which RCOM is exploding in EVDO segment.

kesav 127 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 TATA Photon website has refreshing new look. http://www.tataphoton.com/ Let us hope & pray that they'll show similar pace in increasing EVDO coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 TATA is also following the footsteps of RCom wrt EV-DO coverage list... Now they can easily increase the "Number of cities covered by EV-DO in TN to 1000" by including "MG Road, T.Nagar, WashermanPet, Central, Egmore, PeriyaMedu, Paris_Corner, Muttu_chanthu, Gents Lavat0ry, Ladies Lavat0ry, park, beach, light house, 1000 lamp, Airport, Airport road, Bus_Stand, Bus_Stand road, Spenzer plaza" as ONE CITY EACH, in coming days... They provide EV-DO blanket coverage in J&K and Assam + NE area only... TO WHOM they are TARGETING THEIR BL00DY PRODUCTS??? They better sell their CDMA business to MTS (a rumour circulating for few months)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 Tata Docomo is a long way from being profitable, so they wont risk selling the CDMA business which attained break even and is currently leading certain segments like Photon plus in data card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kesav 127 Report post Posted April 24, 2011 Now, TATA's EVDO coverage has reached 127 cities/towns..... Still, TATA is not keeping pace with even MTS in its EVDO expansion. Just forget about RCOM which is way ahead in coverage. http://www.tataphoton.com/tata-photon-prepaid.aspx (click availability tab) Another good thing is TATA has started showing coverage map for each city/town in the lines of RCOM. :clap: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kesav 127 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Now, TATA's EVDO coverage has reached 156 cities/towns..... With this expansion TATA overtakes MTS in EVDO coverage. Just forget about RCOM which is way ahead in coverage. http://www.tataphoton.com/tata-photon-prepaid.aspx (click availability tab) Kudos to TATA for hitting past the milestone of 150.

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 Still not at all an achievement, Kesav Ji... Tata has good EVDO coverage in Assam/NE/Orissa only, where as MTS has least coverage in those areas.. That is the main reason, Tata has overtook MTS in NUMBERS easily... TATA has NOT EVEN A SINGLE CITY covered with EV-DO in MP+CG circle... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ravi_patent 28 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 i do agree with kanagadeepan & ganesan. but i fail to understand as to why tata is not intersted in expanding evdo ,where it doesnt have 3g licences (like TN). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 I've stopped dreaming on Tata's EVDO at our place. I know they'll not launch it here in near future. I wonder what kind of business they are in! On the other hand, MTS being much younger in the field has started offering EVDO at our place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 Tata seems nowhere interested in CDMA anymore. From strong sources, I have a confirmed news they are planning to launch Tata Indicom GSM as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santanu@impaq 16 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 I have also received news that TATA intends to use GSM for voice once they get spectrum in all circles. There is also some news that TATA is wiling to give back 2.5 Mhz of CDMA spectrum in some circles for getting corresponding spectrum in GSM band. It seems finally they will use GSM for voice and CDMA for DATA primarily. Same could also be true for RCOM but cannot be sure. In any case very little new investment from TATA to CDMA.

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) We are moving a bit OT into services other than EVDO. I must add that I find Tata EVDO excellent. Typical data rates in excess of 1.5Mbps, stable connection, etc. I think a move to GSM is on the cards. They have DoCoMo which is considered by many as the world leader in 3G. Despite the loss of customers in droves they are still not permitting non-Tata Smartphones (no MEID registration). So all the signs are the same. Despite all problems with Reliance we still find their network excellent, and due to 850MHz their signal penetrates into many buildings where the 1800/1900 MHz does not! It may be worthwhile to get the no. of new subscribers every month, in addition to the port-outs! Edited June 24, 2011 by sgiitk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are absoloute right for TATA CDMA is dead for last 4 years.In UP they have not erected a single tower for last 4 years and large area remains uncovered .They are just befooling customers.Even DOCOMO is not expanding although doing well. If they launch their own GSM it will be a great mistake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
