kesav 127 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Just look at this link. I feel its EvDO by looking at the promised speed of 2.4 Mbps. http://www.tataindicom.com/HSIA-service.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rbpyogesh 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 That is for buissness users What about Personal users They seem to be neglected Hope the price is around Rs500 but by the looks of things They have priced at 7000 so i guess they may charge upto Rs 1000 which is very high compared to BSNL's EVDO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commonman 228 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 looks more like a WiFi type system limited to the business establishment premises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 looks more like a WiFi type system limited to the business establishment premises. This in deed is a Wi-Fi according to Tata's website. However, its tariff is quite high and for multi-user location only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank GOD 3G EVDO is available from BSNL and Now from TATA in Selected Circle in Next 3 Months Max we could get from Reliance for All India Level Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Yes, it is EVDO. Now CDMA operators are falling to line. Till now they wanted spectrum. Means 3G is now on horizon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HetalDP 947 Report post Posted July 26, 2008 BSNL have Blocked SMS in there Card means still they cant sell Mobile Like Service in EVDO Specturm they are trying now. They must have to shell out Hefty price to use EVDO in Different Band for Mobile Service Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted July 27, 2008 Tata is offering both SMS and Voice on their HSIA devices but at very high tariffs. For more info click on the link provided by bala yogesh above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rbpyogesh 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 It is understandable from BSNL's point of view I guess they r offering EVDO from their new CDMA services So they do not like to offer SMS and VOICE calls because they fear that they would new Extra spectrum On the other hand TATA is offering VOICE and SMS on EVDO at a high price Common Voice / SMS tariffs for all three above plans: Voice: Local (any network): Rs. 1.25/min Inter circle (any network): Rs.2.65/min ILD (any country): Rs.12/min SMS: Local (any network): Re. 1/message Inter circle (any network): Rs.2/message ILD (any country): Rs.5/message Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rEdshiFt 1 Report post Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Hi... its been a while since i've been here, good to see you all again I've been using this Photon HSIA service for about a month now and its been pretty decent so far I took the unlimited plan for Rs 1500 pm and it's been some heavy-duty downloading Only surprise is that although the speeds sound like 3G / EVDO, neither Tata Indicom nor the equipment manufacturer - ZTE (China) claim that it's 3G .... so im still not sure if its really 3G / EVDO. Whatever the system, its been satisfying. Edited September 8, 2008 by rEdshiFt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
srk006 21 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 hey redshift, What was the initial charges for taking this connection. It seems unbelievable 230KB/s - Do you get it constantly? It seems to be EVDO else how to justify such speeds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rEdshiFt 1 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 The initial downpayment was 3500... The speeds are not this high *constantly* - it was one of the better times when i took the screenshot. But roughly we can d/l 3+ GB per day. minimum. Btw, Looks like Tata doesn't yet have permission to run this HSIA service in the metros, only in the suburbs apparently.
