1、We all know that the year 2021 will be the year of LTE in India . Apart from Airtel, who started 4G services back in 2021, we will see several players to jumping onto the 4G services ban dwag on in In dia this year. Idea and Vodafo ne have already laun ched their 4G services in selected markets. Jio

2、, the telecom arm of Relia nee In dustries, will la unch its commercial service any time soon.Idea Cellular:Let' start with Idea Cellular by discussing its 3G as well as 4G spectrum. Idea won 2.1GHz spectrum in 11 circles in 2021, and those airwaves were used for 3G services. In 2021 auct ion, I

3、dea grabbed a chu nk of 5MHz spectrum on 2.1GHz band in Kolkata and 900MHz spectrum in Delhi.In Delhi, Idea lau nched UMTS900 i.e. 3G services over 900MHz band (similar to Airtel ' s Plati num 3G) should be no ted that Idea Cellular has almost pan-I ndia 3G presenee via ICRA route through Airtel

5、entry into 4G turf, Idea started rolling out 4G services in selected circles using ittech no logy-n eutral 1.8GHz band.In November 2021, Idea acquired spectrum in two more circles (Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh-West) from Videoc on. Right no w, Idea is capable of rolli ng out LTE-FDD on 1800MHz ba nd in

9、in 2021. However, thereis lackof tran spare ncy if this spectrum is tech-neutral or not. So, Idea has stayed away from rolli ng out 4G in these circles (Kolkata, West Ben gal, Jammu & Kashmir,and Assam). Otherwise, Idea can serve 16 circles with LTE-FDD.World wide narrow-band LTEis getting impor

13、will be engaged into the war against Relianee Jio .Vodafo ne seems to be see ing 4G as a bus in ess case in In dia, and hence they are in talks with Tikona to buy the latter '0MHz of spectrum in 5 circles over the 2.3GHz band.Vodafo ne In dia Liberalised spectrum detailsLiberalized Spectrum2O1O
