Idea Cellular is working on the launch of 4G service in the country and as and when the ecosystem develops, it will be rolled out, a top official today said.
The operator had registered an over Rs 1,000 crore mobile data revenue during the second quarter of the fiscal. "We are working on launching the 4G service in the country and as and when the eco system develops, we will roll out 4G," Idea Cellular Ltd Deputy Managing Director Ambrish Jain told reporters here.
Idea would be one of the early launchers of 4G in India, he said.
In Kerala, the operator had acquired 10 mhz of contiguous 1800 spectrum to ensure the best 4G experience, he said adding this will help in unparallelled speed and downloads.
The operator was committed to offer next generation mobile technologies in India. "We have acquired large quantum of spectrum in 900, 1800 and 2100 MHz bands through auction in the last few years to enable our over 143 million subscribers to access mobile Internet services on their devices," he said.
