Investment in Network Upgrades

Vi said it holds substantial spectrum in the two states, and its network covers 94 percent of UP and Uttarakhand combined. Reportedly, over the last three years, Vi has invested over Rs 3000 crore in network improvements across the states, upgrading core networks to offer seamless service and be 5G-ready, strengthening VoLTE architecture, and rolling out VoWIFI for better indoor voice experience.

Furthermore, the company shared today that it will soon be adding the L900 MHz layer, which will help enhance indoor coverage for its customers. Vi highlighted that the deployment of L900 coverage will be beneficial in urban areas with dense building infrastructure, as well as suburban and rural areas where signal penetration is a challenge.

Commitment to Customer Experience

“The enhanced spectrum will not only improve voice call quality but also support better messaging and data service performance indoors,” the official release said.

Commenting on the announcement, Abhijit Kishore, COO of Vodafone Idea, said, “Our goal is to provide our customers with the best network experience. We will make investments to expand 4G coverage and provide enough capacity to boost customers’ data experiences.”
