5BARz International, a technology leader in the cellular network extender industry, said its subsidiary 5BARz India has completed delivery against the first Purchase Orders from a large multinational Indian operator. Further, the planning for future orders is underway.
5BARz India has also received technical acceptance from another “Tier One” network operator which has a large Indian footprint and is also expanding into other countries. 5BARz India has commenced commercial discussions with this network operator.
With the confidence of gaining technical acceptance from two “Tier One” network operators, 5BARz India has commenced dialogues with other Indian operators and intends to introduce the 5BARz™ network extenders through three other network operators in the next two quarters.
A recently concluded market research survey, initiated by 5BARz India, has shown that 46% of mobile consumers experience cellular network performance issues. This is consistent with the Indian government directives to improve the quality of telecom services. The world’s second largest cellular market (by subscriber base) has recently seen an urgent call to action by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. Senior ministry officials have called for radical solutions to be implemented to help resolve the poor connectivity woes of Indian subscribers.
Indian telecom operators are facing significant challenges due to lack of land and infrastructure to erect new cell towers and an increased level of health activism which is leading to forced closure of existing towers in urban areas over radiation fears. Despite 70,000 towers being erected in the past year, call drops have increased two fold in 2G circles and over 65 per cent in 3G circles.
