RCOM expands 3G footprint to 18 circles
New Delhi/Kolkata, June 11 (IBNS): Telecommunications Service Provider Reliance Communications on Wednesday announced the launch of its Next-Gen 3G services in 5 more telecom circles-Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and UP-East, thereby expanding its 3G footprint to 18 circles across the country.
With this move, RCOM will now offer best-in-class, high-speed 3G services in the entire southern part of the country and UP-East as well.
Customers will be able to enjoy RCOM’s 3G services in the 5 new Circles from 20 June 2014.
RCOM currently has the largest 3G footprint in the country with a presence in 13 Circles—Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, North East, Jammu & Kashmir.
With its extended presence in 18 Circles—covering 80 percent of the country’s 3G data revenue market and incremental Smartphone sales—RCOM is well-positioned to target a disproportionate share of the Corporate, SME and high-value customer market, the company said in a statement.
This expansion will help Reliance Communications further consolidate its data leadership position in the Indian market.
“We are delighted to expand our 3G footprint to 18 Circles across India, which makes our service available in all metros and major metros in the country, enabling us to target the fast-growing data market in these Circles. Together, these Circles account for 80% of incremental Smartphone sales in the country,” Gurdeep Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Consumer Business, Reliance Communications Limited, said.
“As India’s youngest pan-India GSM operator, we are committed to improving the quality of our customer mix, and our extended 3G presence will help us attract a disproportionate share of customers in the high-value Corporate and SME segments. This will also help us further consolidate RCOM’s position as the leading Indian data operator,” he added.
