Vishant Vora, CTO, Vodafone Idea Ltd. says, “Vodafone Idea is undertaking the world's biggest telecom network integration in India and creating India’s most advanced, secure and cost-efficient network. Extensive use of UBRs, DSRs, m-MIMOs and HetNets are key to our plan in this integration exercise, and we are very happy to partner with Nokia to deploy these futuristic, next generation technologies to prepare a future-proof network for the digital era.”
