Company Brief

Mumbai, March 18, 2010

Reliance Communications, India's first and only operator to offer nationwide CDMA and GSM services, submitted its application for the forthcoming 3G Spectrum auction today.

Reliance Communications offers next-generation mobility services on both CDMA and GSM technology platforms. The pan-India 3G ready GSM network, primarily in 1800 MHz spectrum band, was rolled out in January 2009 across 24,000 towns and 6 lakh Indian villages. The wireless network of Reliance Communications covers over One Billion Indians.

Earlier this week, Reliance Communications achieved the unique landmark of serving 100 Mn wireless customers in a single country, becoming the 4th operator in the world to achieve this milestone. The landmark achievement has been attained within seven years of Reliance Communications first launching its pan-India mobile services in 2003. Incidentally, it is also the fastest ramp up of mobile subscribers in the country from 10 million in mid-2005 to 100 million in just three and half years.
