India to get 3G soon: Bharti Airtel

Telecom major Bharti Airtel said it has given contracts to Ericsson India, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) and Huawei Technologies to set up infrastructure for providing 3G services in the country.

These vendors will plan, design, deploy and maintain 3G-HSPA (third generation, high speed packet access) networks in 13 telecom circles where the company has won 3G licences, Bharti Airtel said in a statement.

Now this is some news. 😀

    Good to know 3G has come to India! But, with LTE just around the corner, will this deployment be a bit late? The service providers should probably allocate their investments in 3G infrastructure wisely.

    LTE is around the corner, may be in the west.. Definitely not in India. It'll take another couple of years just to stabilize 3G in India!!

    That said, I think some service provider has already deployed LTE in the USA. I'm not sure which one it is.. Most probably Verizon..
