rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted October 12, 2011 MP, Chhattisgarh's New Year To Begin With 4G LTE Broadband Services Source Consumers in MP and Chhattisgarh can expect 4G services form Augere Wireless Broadband India to cost about as much as 3G data services does. Consumers in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh after experiencing 3G are one step closer to experience the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications through TD-LTE technology, which will enhance the user's experience of wireless broadband including web, online gaming, video streaming and social networking even while on the move. Augere Wireless Broadband India, a wireless broadband company which had bagged BWA spectrum in MP and Chhattisgarh, will offer 4G broadband services under the ZOOSH brand to residential and business customers in Bhopal in January and by April it will offer the services in 14 cities of the two states. Lars Stork, chief executive officer, Augere Wireless Broandband India, said to The Mobile Indian, "Consumers in MP and Chhattisgarh can expect our services to be priced nearby what they pay for 3G data services." It will be interesting to see what Reliance Industries, the only player that bagged a pan India BWA spectrum licence, will offer in terms of data plans because that will be the trend setter in this space. Other winners of BWA spectrum include Aircel (8 circles), Tikona Wireless (5 circles), Airtel (4 circles) and Qualcomm (4 circles). Regarding data plans, Stork said, "We will not be offering unlimited data plans as we have seen instances where it has been misused, which leads to loss of revenue." Stork further said, "We are excited by the development happening in the tablet space in India, especially the recently launched affordable Aakash tablet. We are in talks with tablet manufactures to offer our services bundled with their devices along with stand-alone services through dongles." Vijay Jain, chief technical officer, Augere, said, "For bundled services, we are looking at devices from multinational as well as Indian players. If we get a good response, we would prefer Indian players simply for the price point they offer." To kick start its 4G services on Tuesday, Augere Wireless contracted Swedish telecom company Ericsson for three years to supply and maintain telecom equipment for its proposed 4G services. . To ensure optimal network performance Ericsson will also be responsible for providing managed services and network operations for three years. Ericsson will plan, design, build, operate, maintain and provide spare-parts management for the 4G network for Augere. Augere is already offering WiMax services under the Qubee brand in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 Augere Wireless Set To Sell its 4G Spectrum, Quit India Source NEW DELHI: Augere Wireless, a company backed by France Telecom and private equity funds, is set to sell its 4G spectrum in two states and quit India, as regulatory uncertainty has forced its investors to hang up on the country. Two company executives said Augere was shutting down its India operations and had asked its employees in the country to resign. Augere is the second 4G spectrum holder that is close to exiting the wireless broadband space. US-based chipmaker Qualcomm is learnt to be in advanced talks with Bharti Airtel to sell its 4G permits in the four circles where it bagged airwaves in 2010. The company had won airwaves for Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in the keenly-contested broadband wireless auctions of 2010 and last year became the first 4G player in India to award an equipment contract when it appointed Ericsson to roll out its network. It had also roped in TCS to handle its IT and customer services requirements and was slated to roll out wireless broadband services in the second half of the current year under the 'ZOOSH Broadband' brand. Augere Wireless CEO Lars Henrick Stork said the company had stopped all operational activities in India and had asked employees to go on leave as it was reassessing its plans here. He blamed the regulatory uncertainties surrounding India's telecoms sector and said it had resulted in the company 'being unable to raise funds from both national and international investors'. "There is a lot of uncertainty hanging over the telecoms sector in India. The cancellation of licences by the Supreme Court, Trai's rules for re-auction and the exorbitantly high reserve price, as well as lack of clarity on the new telecoms policy, which was supposed to be unveiled by mid-last year and has not happened yet... all these factors have resulted in our investors stopping funding for our activities here," Stork said in a phone conversation with ET. Augere's investors include former Orange CEO Sanjiv Ahuja, Harbinger Capital, France Telecom, New Silk Route and Vedanta Opportunity Fund. The company also offers its services in Asia and Africa under the Qubee brand. Augere will become the first telecom company to cite funds crunch arising from lack of regulatory clarity as the reason for exiting India. Both Telenor and Sistema have threatened to pull the plug on India and warned that they will not participate in the upcoming spectrum auctions if the government accepts the recommendations of the telecom regulator. But, unlike these companies, Augere has not lost its licences, and is not required to participate in any auction. Several industry executives said Augere had approached leading Indian mobile phone companies to sell its 4G licence, but Stork declined to comment on this and said 'it was a shareholders' issue'. "When you stop operations, it is natural that people will say we want to sell. We will take 4-6 weeks to reconsider our India plans," he added. Augere had paid about Rs 125 crore for its 4G permit in 2010. In October 2011, the company announced that it would invest about Rs 270 crore over the next three to five years to roll out services in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. It had also announced that it would initially launch services in 14 cities in these two states, beginning April 1, 2012. Augere had also reportedly completed the pilot runs for its 4G foray in September 2011. "It is a shame. We had given out contracts and were ready to go. But with funding drying up, we had to stop," Stork added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
