Tata Teleservices to launch wireless broadband in Guj

After BSNL announced its new offering of high speed WiMAX broadband services in Gujarat, now Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) is set to follow suit. The telecom operator plans to launch high speed wireless broadband services in Ahmedabad by next month.

Refusing to divulge further details about the offering, Naveen Bhasin, chief operating officer (Gujarat circle) of TTSL said, "We would be launching a wireless broadband service by June in Ahmedabad. The product, Photon Plus, is part of our Photon family, a new set of services that will offer wireline, wireless and wireless broadband services."

While the company has already introduced a wireless internet product, Photon USB Modem in the market, it is now strengthening its presence in internet segment.

The telecom operator launched 'Photon Pro', a high speed wireline broadband service, in Ahmedabad that will cater to both individual and enterprise clients of TTSL.

The service, which is being launched in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Bangalore initially, is said to offer the highest speed of 18 mbps for the first time in the country. "For economies of scale, today most companies are switching to unified communication services and require VoIP and other communication systems for which one needs uninterrupted high speed internet data and voice services. Photon Pro will deliver such a speed on wireline network," said Bhasin.

TTSL will be offering two separate tariff plans for individuals and enterprises. The tariff plans range from Rs 450 per month to Rs 9,000 per month.
