Vodafone will increase the intensity of its 4G rollout to cover important metros – Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru by March 2016.
Vodafone India has announced the roll out of its 4G network in prominent business and residential corridors of Kolkata including BBD Baug, Park Street, Alipore, Bally gunge, Salt Lake Sector 5, Airport and EM bypass.

Vodafone 4G services can be readily accessed from 4G enabled handsets offered by leading smartphone manufacturers (iPhone, Samsung, Micromax, Microsoft, Lava and Xolo) available across the country.
Vodafone’s 4G service in Kolkata is built on a fibre backhaul, and is supported by its 3G services on a new and modern network. With this launch, Vodafone is now uniquely positioned to offer in Kolkata, 2G/3G/4G services on its own state of the art, convergent radio technology.
“Initial response from customers who have experienced our 4G services in Kerala and Karnataka has been positive and encouraging. As a steadfast partner of Digital India, we remain focused on deploying multiple technologies –be it 2G, 3G and now 4G-for optimum use as each technology has its own vital role to play in servicing the myriad connectivity needs of consumers across the country,” said Naveen Chopra, Chief Operating Officer, Vodafone India.
Vodafone will increase the intensity of its 4G rollout to cover important metros – Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru by March 2016. Testing of 4G services in these locations has already commenced and Vodafone India has partnered with technology service providers for the network roll-out. Vodafone has already started the roll-out of 4G-Ready SIMs in these markets inviting customers for a free upgrade before the commercial launch.
