After Delhi, Mumbai, Vodafone rolls out 4G service in Bengaluru

Bengaluru: Vodafone India Thursday launched its high-speed 4G service in select pockets of the city.

Remaining parts of the tech hub will be covered in a phased manner by March 2016, Vodafone India CEO Sunil Sood told reporters here.

The launch marks the completion of the first phase of rollout of Vodafone's 4G service in Kerala, Karnataka, Kolkata, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai, Sood said.

Built on the efficient 1800 MHz band, this state-of-the-art network would enable Vodafone 4G customers to access internet at high speeds across a range of smart devices, he said.

Leveraging its global network, Vodafone is currently the only telecom service provider to offer international roaming on 4G to its customers in India visiting UK, Germany, Romania, Spain and Netherlands, with many more countries to be added in the coming weeks, Sood said.

"Initial response from customers who have experienced our 4G services has been positive and encouraging.

"Vodafone's global expertise and experience of launching 4G across 19 countries gives us a better understanding of this technology and the needs of the 4G?customer," he said.
