BHARTI AIRTEL LAUNCHED INDIA'S FIRST 4G/LTE SERVICE!!

'What Kolkata does today,India does tomorrow'.2G was first launched in India at Kolkata by Bharti Airtel,Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu did the first call to central communications minister Mr. Sukh Ram.And where 4G was first started in India?Yeah!You are right!In KOLKATA,and by whom?BHARTI AIRTEL! As per their claim,Bharti Airtel,India's largest mobile telephony successfully launched 4G/LTE service in Kolkata on 10th Apr,2012 through a deal with ZTE.Mr. Kapil Sibbal,India's telecom minister and Union Telecom inaugerated the service officially.They are promising to bring 4G in Bangalore,Pandicherry&Pune shortly.Specially in Bangalore within 1 month.Last year,in the 4G spectrum license auction,Airtel won license in 4 circles,while Reliance Infotel along with Qualcomm,won license in all the 22 circles.As per Sanjay Kapoor(Airtel's CEO in South Asia and India),till 2016,6% of the total Indian internet users will use 4G and it will consume 36% of the total data usage.Reliance is expected to launch 4G till 2012's end when all the others are expected to launch 4G till the next 2 years according to our analysis. Let's know what's 4G/LTE/TDE.There are two types of data service which supply greater speeds than 3G-WiMAX & LTE/TDE(Long Term Evolution).BSNL has launched WiMAX long ago.Then why we are saying Airtel to launched 4G first?We can call both LTE/WiMAX- 4G.But STOP!Their are lots of diffrences also.WiMAX gives speeds upto 40 Mbps while LTE gives upto 100 Mbps!WiMAX's indoor coverage is very weak if compared to LTE's.LTE gives wide coverage but WiMAX gives small coverage.WiMAX uses microwaves but LTE uses BTS s(Base Tranciever Station) deployed in cell towers.WiMAX is not is used in mobiles but LTE is widely used(i.e. HTC VELOCITY) and portable also.So why,it will be better if we say call it 'High speed broadband' rather than '4G'. At a conclusion,numerous salutes and regards to Bharti Airtel for making India one of those countries who first launched 4G in the world. COME ON AIRTEL 4G,WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!
