NEW DELHI: State-owned telecom operator MTNL is launching the first ever 3rd Generation (3G) mobile services in the country on test basis in Delhi by the end of this month. This follows the drawing up of a roadmap by the government for auction of 3G Spectrum in the country.
The trial network will be in and around the capital’s Connaught Place area. The indoor trials of 3G in Delhi have already been completed.
The launch will give people a feel of high speed data, video streaming etc. which come as part of the 3G services. MTNL has already got ready the core equipment for the purpose. It is presently mobilising the necessary radio equipment and will formally launch the 3G services in Delhi by the end of this year. In Mumbai, the services will be available early next year.
MTNL is rolling out the 3G service making use of the necessary spectrum allocated to it by Department of Telecommunications. DOT recently allocated one block of spectrum each to MTNL in Delhi and Mumbai and to BSNL in other service areas.
The DoT has already initiated the process for selection of the specialised agency for conduct of the e-auction. MTNL and BSNL will pay a price for the spectrum allocated to them equal to the highest bid in the respective service area.
MTNL plans to provide 3G services by installing 3G GSM core capacity of 750,000 lines each in Delhi and Mumbai. These lines are currently being installed. The telco has planned to expand GSM capacity in Delhi and Mumbai by two million each including 3G capacity.
