How to activate 3G in my mobile. if you knoe pls send the details to my mail ID.
velu December 12, 2010 at 9:36 pm
how do you define a district in India. Take an example Erode district in TN where the HQ is situated in one corner of the district. and the end of district is 90 km away from erode.
one thing is clear if there is no customer the signal can be accessed by far away. if they have more customer the operator will restrict the power and will install more towers.Becoz in foreign courtries telco has more than 20 Mhz.but in india you know the real fact
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 12, 2010 at 9:32 pm
@Amit.G
AMIT AIRCEL WILL LAUNCHES THE 3G SERVICES IN JANUARY 2011 AND ALSO AT THAT TIME MAXIS (MAJORITY STAKEHOLDER OF AIRCEL) WILL LAUNCHES 4G SERVICES
velu December 12, 2010 at 9:26 pm
@Amit.G
No Airtel has 10 Mhz spectrum in Karnataka
Amit.G December 12, 2010 at 9:19 pm
No one Bts can cover a maximum of 15Kms. And in karnatka in only two places we have MSC setup. And do u know how the clarity of operators depend? Its whether they are using optical fibre or microwave radiation or high grid copper cable. Operator who s using high grid copper cable has highest clarity n its very costly. Lowest s microwave radiation has lowest clarity as its cheapest. And spice telecom used to use tat n later idea changed it
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 12, 2010 at 8:10 pm
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT IF THE MAIN BTS HAD BEEN SETUP IN DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS WILL IT COVER THE ENTIRE DISTRICT?
@Amit.G

There is a limit to fake things but holy sh** the limit is crossed so let me fake one more thing from now on for one subscriber one telecom engineer will be provided ..yo!
Amit.G December 12, 2010 at 5:50 pm
@Arjun dude first let me tell u one thing, call disturbance, drops etc s not tower dependent, tower BTS s just a medium to transfer signal to BSC(base switchin centre) whic later does verification process n then sends to Msc tat s Mobile switchin centre. And in Msc u have Pcm throug which voice or data transfer take place. In one channel of pcm 2000 customers can make call at a time n like tat u have many channels. If any one of the channel s defective then network prob starts!!
dskushwaha December 12, 2010 at 5:34 pm
200 millions (20 Crores) in a population of 120 Crore!! That means on an average for every 6 people in India 1 will be telecom engineer.
And population of 120 Crores include people who can’t be employed or don’t need employment (children, old age people). That means on an average every family (considering average family size of 6) will have a telecom engineer.
Moreover Telecom sector needs 1 telecom engineer to maintain mobile telephony for 6 people including children (infants also).
So this way we can eliminate problem of unemployment in India???
Actually this sort of numbers is announced by pvt. training institutes to attract students.
sahil December 12, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Just use a common sense man! 200 million(20crores) is a very huge number. In a population of 120crores, you are saying at present telecom alone need 20 crore network engineers? Just think before what u say.
Never heard better joke than this. 20 crores is not even the no. of jobs that telecom sector(including landline+mobile+broadband+DTH+others) are offering at present even if you count all jobs from a peon to a MD.
Baba Firangi December 12, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Dude. Again you started farting in public. Do you even understand English?
How does congestion problem, high call drop and slow internet speed relate to lack of network technicians in telecom? What do you expect network engineers to do? That 200 million engineers will all sit on top of BTS towers and connect phone calls with bare hands, or will they prevent dropped calls by catching dropping calls before they get dropped?
If airte/aircel/voda/reliance and et al were facing shortage of network engineers, all they need to do is to mass recruit people. With millions of skilled technicians being unemployed in this country, I dont see getting that numbers being a problem.
The truth is, you just blabbed a fancy number from blue sky, and now you are trying too hard to justify your own sh*t by bringing in illogical arguments. And to make it easy for your dim mind to understand, 200 million is a number that starts with a “2″ and is followed by eight “0″s. And to give you an idea of how big that number is – “200 MILLION IS A DAMN HUGE NUMBER”.
velu December 12, 2010 at 11:45 am
with 200 million network enggineers every one can join every villages with their hands. No need for cable or cell towers

@Baba Firangi
What Do You Know About Telecom? Except MTS and Uninor All Mobile Operators Services are Very Poor Due To Lack Of Network Engineers For Example Say Aircel ,It is Facing Congestion Problems High Call Drops, Worst Internet Speed. Is This The Brighter Minds Work? Just Stop This Idiotic Comment and View The Fact Ok :@

@Mr. ARJUN C
Is it that all you do is to fart your heart out here?
Do you even know how many Zeroes are there in 200 million?
Talk some sense man, and think before you sh*t here. for a subscriber base of 500 million people in this country who have access to any mode of communication, its just not possible to create 200 million networking jobs.
Its just that because of presence of dislectic people like you in the telecom sector of India that, common people have to put up with such pathetic services from telecom operators. I wish there were brighter minds serving in telecom industry.

I read in economic times when 2g scam was the hot news. Airtel vodafone idea and aircel have highest spectrum and airtel in few circles have more than 32mhZ of spectrum n karnataka s one
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 11, 2010 at 12:39 pm

May I Know that Where did You get The Information that AirTel is Having 32MHz Spectrum in Karnataka
upen December 11, 2010 at 11:55 am
@Keshav Jha
Guys you are right. Around 100 million jobs are currently available in IT & Telecom sector. Other than Engineering background, people can join telecom sectors by pursuing MBA (IT & TELECOM). Some of the institutes are currently offering MBA in TELECOM.
1. Amity Institute of Telecom, Telecom Technology and Management, Noida
2. G. S. Sanyal School of Telecommunications Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur
3. Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management, Pune
4. Siddhant Institute of Management Technology
Pune, Maharashtra
And, many others are also offering such programs.
So, All students who are interested in telecom sector and willing to join can polish their talent by pursuing such courses from any of these institutes.

For Example AIRTEL,AIRCEL,BSNL,UNINOR, IDEA, are Having Millions Of Post Of Network Engineers in Each and Every Telecom Circles. But Out Of Millions We Will Find only 5K Persons Working in Telecom Industries

HEY MAN ARE YOU CRAZY? IF ANY ONE OF THE PRIVATE TELECOM COMPANY FOLLOW THE TARIFF GIVEN BY YOU THEY WENT LOSSES IN 3G. WILL YOU PAY FOR IT? EVEN BSNL 3G WAS HIGH COSTLY in 1.5 YEAR BACK AND NOW THEY HAVE REDUCED THE TARIFF AS THEY HAD GOT A GOOD SUBSCRIBERS BASE AND REVENUE THAT’S WHY THEY LOWERED THE TARIFFS
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 11, 2010 at 7:44 am
@jijotr
I don’t Know Why You People Prefer BSNL 3G Tariffs Nowadays. One Thing I’d Like To Mention Past 1 Year Back BSNL Tariffs Were So Costly Such That You People Were Not Able To Use. After 1.5Years BSNL Has Gained a Lot Of Money in 3G So it Reduced The Tariffs. And Coming To The Part Of Private Operators 3G Services Private Operators are Now Rolling Out Their 3G In Order To Reduce Debt They Must Have to Increase The Tariffs And Pls Speak Properly With The Telecom Experts In TT

One Thing I Would Like To Mention Upen. In India 200 Million Network Engineering Jobs are Available out Of Which 100 Million Jobs For IT and Another 100 Million Jobs are Available For Telecom. But Our Indian Uths are Not Interested On Networking. That’s Why India is a Backward Country in Networking
upen December 10, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Presently, docomo is facing scarcity of spectrum in all circles. They have mere 4.4 MHz start-up spectrum and waiting for auction. They at least require up to 6.2 MHz (basic level) spectrum to make their services more better. In most of the circles Airtel, Vodafone, Bsnl & Idea are holding more than 8 MHz spectrum and even more.
In south India, even aircel is holding around 8 MHz spectrum ( in one of the circle it is holding 10.3 MHz spectrum which is more than what biggies have).
Beside all, by holding mere 4.4 MHz spectrum docomo is giving more internet speed than Biggies which shows their network is technically more capable.
Few months ago, Govt. has banned telecom equipment from Chinese vendors Huawei and ZTE. The Govt. has told mobile operators not to import any network equipment manufactured by Chinese vendors.
Huawei provides network equipment to Tata docomo and import has been banned, which hampered their network expansion plan.
Now, Govt. has been allowed the import of telecom equipment from Chinese vendors Huawei & ZTE. Tata Docomo is now expanding their network gradually.

Time based plans are not good, they will charge you the same even if you are not downloading/surfing or the speed is very low.
data based plans are better.
rohan December 10, 2010 at 11:40 am
I think EDGE+ NETWORK shud be promoted more than 3G. Its cost effective for both operators and customers. Some countries are already implementing it. In EDGE+ netwk one can get 564kbps of speed. But our indian operator EDGE NETWK is worst they cant even give 100kbps. Operator who have not won 3G i think they shud concentrate on these kind of technology. Specially uninor and other 3G looser who has not won 3G game.
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 10, 2010 at 11:38 am

Amit Might Be You Know This in 2G Spectrum Scam Aircel, Idea and DOCOMO Were Got Legally Licenses in 08 by Cheat Raja. And STEL Was Approached to Raja With Offering The Money of Exact Price But Raja Sold it in The Cheap Rate for STel. But that company Was Gone For Supreme Court That This Cheat Raja had Given The Spectrum for Cheap Rate This was The 1st Evidence for 2G Spectrum Scam and 2nd Problem is Neera Radia Spoken With A.Raja to Sell The Spectrum For Unitech Wireless,Videocon and Swan Telecom at a Cheap Rate so This Idiot Raja Without Knowing Those Companies Background He Sold The UAS/CMTS Licenses For The Company So That it Has Become the Second Evidence For the 2G Spectrum Scam.
And also some Of The Journalists Joined Hands With this Raja

In TN the speed of aircel is worst one . only 10 to 20kbps. now improving in rural areas. but in towns the speed is till poor. Bsnl gprs is becoming slower for the past one month with frequent disconect.but vodafone is excellent on with 30 kBps download speed

please improve ur network in 2 g yaar i have given complaints reg.coverage/network but to no avail. first improve the 2g network and then go to 3g
sahil December 10, 2010 at 12:36 am
they have the cheapest 2g net plan for rs. 95 for unlimited/month on edge network, lets hope they come up with an unlimited plan in 3g too whether it is priced around 1300 for 3.6 mbps or 2000 for 7.2mbps but without any FUP. They havn’t introduced any FUP on their 2G plan like others.
In 2g, only BSNL & Aircel are the only operators(having 3g license) offering unlimited GPRS plans, lets see that whether both of them are able to do that again in 3g!!(BSNL has already done that)
Huxley Dcruz December 9, 2010 at 11:00 pm

I totally agree with your comments, they should concentrate on improving their services and they should stick on to their words by offering speeds upto 21Mbps as promised.

Mera maana hai ki march yani Holi ke tyohaar se pehle koi bhee company 3G service launch nahi kar paayegi.abhi tak to sabhi ke webpage hi launch ho rahe hai.
India ki sabse badi company Airtel sabse peeche hai.
3G network to abhi tak 5% place par he live hua hai 95% baaki hai.
Dekhte hai aage kya hota hai…………………………

I think aircel launch his 3G service first to vodafone.
Good Luck aircel.
Huxley Dcruz December 9, 2010 at 10:19 pm
It seems Aircel is excited and is in a hurry in launching 3G services.
But my advise is that they should concentrate more in improving NETWORK COVERAGE, CUSTOMER SUPPORT, AFFORDABLE TARIFF RATES, AFFORDABLE GPRS PLANS using EDGE Technlogy, which I think AIRCEL has to concentrate first, before introducing 3G services were
The main users of 3G service will be the Business class or the tech savy youths of today who needs to be 24/7 online.
Inspite of my 2 repeated complaints Aircel was not able to solve my COVERAGE problem in my area

jijotr December 9, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Aircel will be able to make a mark on 3g segment only if they come with agressive(affordable in users’ terms) tariff plans for data use. If they are coming out with data charges similar to docomo, while BSNL is giving down to earth rates, then Aircel will be the loser, not the customers, because BSNL is always here for an option to the middle class net users. SO PL DON’T BE AN UPPER CLASS PLAYER, dear Aircel…..it’s request..
