Loop Mobile has earmarked Rs 200 crore to undertake Phase I of a major
network upgradation in Mumbai.
As a part of the expansion, the company plans to add 1,200 new cell sites in
Mumbai. Also, special emphasis is likely to be laid on enhancing network
strength at subscriber pain-points, including in-buildings, basements and
flyovers.
The company is in the process of installing next generation Software Define
Radio (SDR) multi-mode solution in Mumbai and the process is expected to be
completed by June 2010. The SDR-based next-generation IP (NGIP) network upgrade
is expected to reduce carbon foothold.
