Now in its second phase of launch, Vodafone SuperNetTM 4G services will soon also be available in West Bengal and in 1,000 towns across the country by end of the year, the company added.
The launch in Gujarat follows the introduction of similar services in Kerala, Karnataka, Kolkata, Delhi & NCR, Mumbai, Haryana & UP East.
“Built on the efficient 1800 MHz band, this state-of-the-art network will enable Vodafone SuperNetTM 4G customers to access internet via mobile with speeds across a range of smart devices including Mi-Fi & dongles. Vodafone 4G services can be readily accessed from 4G enabled handsets offered by leading smartphone manufacturers and available across the country,” it said.
With this launch, Vodafone will have 2G, 3G and 4G services on its own state of the art, convergent radio technology.
