Sistema Shyam TeleServices, which nationally operates its telecom services under the MTS brand with over 12 million wireless customers, announced the roll out of the world’s first CDMA EV-DO Rev.B phase II network in India.
This announcement marks the beginning of a phased roll out, wherein the company would be launching the advanced Rev.B Phase II network in Jaipur followed by top metros and other key cities across India.
To experience the full power of CDMA EV-DO Rev.B Phase II, MTS India has introduced MBlaze Ultra – a special Hi-Tech dongle providing data download speeds of 9.8 megabytes per second.
The launch event was attended by James Person, chief operating officer, CDMA Development Group (CDG), Avneesh Agrawal, president – Qualcomm India & South Asia and Vsevolod Rozanov, president & CEO MTS India.
MTS India has been credited for several industry firsts that has led us to stay a step ahead in terms of innovation. I feel extremely proud to announce the coming in of the world’s first CDMA EV-DO Rev.B Phase II network to India. This announcement is yet another testament of our commitment to provide the best in class products and services to our customers. This historic launch will redefine the way customers experience mobile broadband as we roll out MBlaze Ultra across India. I am confident all our customers will cherish the MBlaze Ultra experience,” said Vsevolod Rozanov, president & chief executive officer, MTS India.
The commercial use of EV-DO Rev.B technology will greatly enhance the mobile broadband experience of MBlaze Ultra users. Compared to EV-DO Rev.B Phase I, the Phase II technology can further enhance the BTS cell capacity, spectrum efficiency and peak rate, achieving high speed rate as high as 4.9 Mbps in single frequency carrier and 9.8 Mbps in two frequency carrier bundle.
We congratulate MTS for becoming the first operator to commercially launch a CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev. B Phase II network in India. The EV-DO network allows for fast transmission of data services, and the upgrade to EV-DO Rev. B Phase II network will allow MTS to provide an enhanced consumer experience with even higher speeds, superior indoor penetration and outdoor coverage,” said Avneesh Agrawal, president, Qualcomm India and South Asia.
CDMA EV-DO Rev.B Phase-I network is present in several countries across the world including Japan, Norway, Indonesia, Sweden, South Korea and Ukraine among others. However, MTS India is credited to be the first telecom company in the world to commercially launch the CDMA EV-DO Rev.B Phase II network.
Today is a historic day as MTS has taken the lead to bring the world’s first CDMA EV-DO Rev.B Phase II network to India. This launch is significant for both customers and telecom companies around the world. This state-of-the-art network technology presents a great opportunity for telecom operators including MTS to offer a far more evolved set of value-added services including rich media streaming experience. This has clearly set the bar higher for other telecom operators to follow suit and to revolutionize the mobile broadband experience for their customers,” said James Person, chief operating officer – CDMA Development Group (CDG).
