NEW DELHI: Tata Teleservices continues to have the least congested cellular network among all pan- India telecom operators, according to the latest congestion report by telecom regulator Trai. The regulator, after evaluating the network congestion for the period of April to June 2008, has said Tata Teleservices��� network has recorded congestion in only five points of interconnect (PoI) compared to 56 PoIs for Bharti Airtel, 22 for Reliance Communications and 19 for Vodafone Essar.
According to Trai, congestion at points of interconnection (PoI) should be less than 0.5%. This implies that out of 200 calls between two operators only one call should face congestion problem. Network congestion is the primary factor that results in call drops, poor reception and voice quality. Earlier, the Trai report on congestion for January - March 2008 also ranked the Tatas first and said the telco had only 10 congested PoIs compared to 83 PoIs of Airtel, 41 for Reliance and 43 for Vodafone.
Commenting on the landmark achievement, A G Rao, Chief Technology Officer, Tata Teleservices, said, ���Today mobile customers are very discerning and they look for quality of service rather than just cost advantage. From crystal clear voice quality and minimal call drops our customers experience the advantages of being on Tata Indicom���s network. This report has further reiterated superiority of our network once again. This acknowledgment further reassures our customers and endorsers that we provide nothing except the best. It is a proud achievement of the extraordinary standards that we have set for our network. ���
India is the world���s fastest growing mobile market and adds over 9 million new customers every month. In order to ensure seamless interconnection, Trai has been monitoring the level of congestion at the PoI level between various service providers on a monthly basis. This parameter signifies the ease with which a customer of one network is able to communicate with a customer of another network. Trai���s PoI congestion report analysis for the month of April 2008 to June 2008 shows that the performance of telcos with regard to congestion has improved when compared to their figures for the March, 2008 period.
