The 4G services are finally taking roots in Indian. With Bharti Airtel taking lead in 2012 by launching 4G services in Kolkata, Bengaluru and Pune, Videocon on Monday also jumped into fray by signing an in-principle agreement with Nokia Siemens who is also the technology partner for Videocon for its 2G network to deploy 4G services in the country.

Videocon has secured spectrum in six telecom circles- Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh East and West for Rs 2,221.44 crore in auctions held in November 2012.

"We will be pleased to partner with Videocon Mobile Services to launch 4G LTE services in India in order to further drive mobile broadband usage," Nokia Siemens Networks' Head of India Region Sandeep Girotra said.

Videocon Mobile Services Director and CEO Arvind Bali said in a statement said that the company intends to engage Nokia Siemens Networks as our Technology partner for our 4G Network roll-out in the country.

“Going forward, through its 4G network the company will look to provide data service (internet) experience including Video Chat, Mobile TV, HD (high definition) TV content, digital video broadcasting etc”, he said.

Videocon will offer data service (internet) experience including Video Chat, Mobile TV, HD (high definition) TV content, digital video broadcasting etc with the 4G sercices network.

The Telecom Commission, the highest decision-making body in the communications ministry, on Monday allowed holders of so-called 4G spectrum, until now permitted to provide only high-speed Internet services on mobiles, to offer voice calls to customers by paying an additional 1,658 crore for a pan-India licence. MukeshAmbani-controlled Reliance is the only company that holds pan-India 4G permits.

Last month Bharti Airtel announced that it will soon launch voice services for its 4G, TD-LTE (time division duplex long term evolution) customers in Pune through its GSM network. Airtel has operations in 20 countries across Asia and Africa.

The operator has also selected Nokia Siemens Networks to deploy its Circuit Switched FallBack (CSFB) voice solution in the operator’s live TD-LTE network in the city. With CSFB, the network can transfer customers to GSM platform to make and receive voice calls and access voicemails while retaining the experience of ultra-fast data services on 4G smartphones.

Bharti Airtel has the advantage of pan-India GSM and 3G networks and with the deployment of cutting edge CSFB functionality, we will have the flexibility of using either or both the networks to support voice services on our TD-LTE platform..

In 2012 Bharti Airtel launched 4G services in Kolkata and Bengaluru  and rolled out postpaid 4G services in Pune.

4G is the fourth generation of mobile phone mobile communications standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D television and Cloud Computing.

Last month the Telecom Commission Monday allowed of 4G spectrum holders  until now permitted to provide only high-speed Internet services on mobiles, to offer voice calls to customers by paying an additional 1,658 crore for a pan-India licence. MukeshAmbani-controlled Reliance is the only company that holds pan-India 4G permits.
