Loading ...Goa is set to experience the next revolution in cell phone technology in January, 2010. Soon, you will be able to transfer both voice data – a telephone call – and nonvoice data, such as downloading information, exchanging e-mails, and instant messaging all simultaneously. Not to forget video calls, where you will be able to view the person you talk to on your cell phone. BSNL has scheduled a roll-out of its 3G services in Goa within a month’s time. “Almost 80% of the equipment has arrived in Goa. The installation and testing is in progress. All the equipment is being imported from France and the USA,” says Mohan Lal, general manager, BSNL Mobile Division, Pune.
“All urban and semi-urban areas in Goa will be covered initially, new sites will be added later. Our basic survey of the state is complete and we will use the existing tower network. We’re looking at a launch in January,” Lal said. 3G is the next generation of wireless network technology that provides high speed bandwidth (high data transfer rates) to handheld devices. The high data transfer rates will allow 3G networks to offer multimedia services combining voice and data. The minimum internet speed offered through 3G will be 2 mbps, while the maximum speed will touch 14 mbps, says Hari Narayan Jangir, deputy general manager, BSNL Mobile Division, Pune.
