Vi (Vodafone Idea) Upgraded 12000 3G Sites To GIGAnet 4G. Vodafone Idea said that it added around 12,000 4G FDD sites primarily through refarming of 2G/3G spectrum to expand its 4G capacity in the quarter ended December 2020.

"We continue to expand our LTE 900 presence in select locations, including through dynamic spectrum refarming, to improve customer experience," it said.

Till date, the company said that it has deployed over 61,000 TDD sites in addition to the deployment of ~12,900 Massive MIMO sites and ~11,800 small cells.

Our overall broadband site count stood at 447,936 as of Q3FY21, lower compared to 457,386 in Q2FY21, as the telco aggressively started to refarm 3G sites to 4G.

"Our 4G network covers over 1 billion Indians as of December 31, 2020 (4G coverage is the population reached/covered by Vi with its 4G network)," it said.

The telco said these network investment initiatives continue to deliver a significant capacity uplift and enable it to offer superior customer experience.

Vodafone Idea's subscriber base stands at 269.8 million in Q3FY21, a QoQ decline of 2.0 million (vs 8.1 million decline in Q2FY21).

The gross additions continued to improve and subscriber churn has reduced to 2.3% in Q3FY21 (vs 2.6% in Q2FY21), the telco said.

At the end of the quarter, the 4G subscriber base was 109.7 million as compared to 106.1 million in Q2, an increase of 3.6 million in the quarter.

The data volumes grew by 3.4% QoQ, driven by higher 4G additions. Total minutes on the network declined by 1.5% during the quarter compared to 4.0% decline in Q2FY21.
