New Delhi, March 27 (IANS) Reliance Communications, part of the Anil Ambani-led group, has acquired new and top-up 800/850 MHz spectrum in 11 circles.
The acquisition of the new spectrum intends to achieve a contiguous five MHz spectrum holding nationwide in the recently concluded telecom airwaves auction, a company statement said here on Friday.
The company stated that with this acquisition, it has become India's first and only operator with nationwide footprint of contiguous 800/850 MHz spectrum.
"RCom operations now future-proofed across all Circles for most advanced LTE (long term evolution) technology at most optimal cost," it said.
"RCom invests nearly 50 percent of its total outlay on 800/850 MHz band," the company said.
