Vi today announced that it has deployed additional 1800MHz spectrum band on all the 11000 sites in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana (AP&T). This comes after the company started L1800 deployment in October.
Vi said that in the last one year it has added over 660 new sites to the existing 6201 sites and augmented spectrum in all, 11000 sites in AP&T.
The company has rolled out a creative campaign to communicate the benefits of the stronger Vi GIGAnet to customers in AP&T. The campaign invites customers in the two states to experience 2x faster speeds on Vi GIGAnet.
Deployment of additional 1800 MHz on all 11,000 sites and additional 2500 MHz on over 3000 sites promises enhanced speeds for Vi customers in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana.
Third party network audit certification and customer experience measurement validator ValuConnex has certified that Vi GIGAnet delivered 2x faster speeds post the deployment of additional spectrum across 1800 MHz, 2100 Mhz and 2500 MHz bands. The audit was carried out to test speeds in September 2022 as against October 2021, said the company.
