Sunil Mittal-driven Bharti Airtel<\/a> is delivering high-speed in-home broadband services through V-Fiber<\/a>, while Jio has launched pilot services in three large cities – Mumbai<\/a>, Pune<\/a> and Chennai<\/a>.
\n
Based on European standard Vectorization technology, Airtel’s V-Fiber transforms the in-home broadband experience and has a potential to deliver speeds of up to 100 Mbps in a multi-device or Wi-Fi<\/a> environment, an Airtel spokesperson told ET.
\n
\nThe market leader is extending its fixed-line broadband presence in tier-1 cities, ahead of Jio’s roll out, with an unlimited three-month free trial offer to new customers.
\n
\nJio, owned by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has also started to make inroads with fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network dubbed as GigaFiber broadband and is offering services free till March 31, with a 100 Mbps data speed in select residential areas of Chennai, Pune and Mumbai regions.
\n
\nDeployed by Chinese gear maker Huawei, Airtel has already commercially launched V-Fiber-based broadband services in eight cities that include Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Indore and Bhopal. It has plans to launch it in Delhi-NCR soon.
\n
\nRohan Dhamija, head for India and South Asia at Analysys Mason, said home broadband makes sense for service operators only in high average revenue per user (ARPU) clusters in large cities.
\n
\n“FTTH makes a business case for high ARPU geographical clusters such as high-rise residential buildings, while in India, overhead cabling is also done to address the existing right-of-way (RoW) challenges to accelerate such deployments,” he said.
\n
\nDhamija said speed of up to 100 Mbps is a key differentiator and telcos should take account of it while making the capital expenditure.
\n
\n“Airtel and Jio will get further enhancement if they look at offering bundled fixed-line and mobile services in order to make it quadruple play,” Dhamija added.
\n
India’s home broadband penetration is significantly low with only about 18 million connections and both the top telcos, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, have stiff competition with local rivals such as Hathway<\/a>, Spectranet<\/a>, Tikona<\/a> and Nextra Teleservices.<\/a>
\n
\n“It is not surprising that ambitious telecom players like Airtel and Jio recognize the importance of fibre for future competitiveness and are investing substantial resources for it,” ComFirst director Mahesh Uppal said.
\n
\nUppal said fibre is critical to meet the growing demand for Internet-based services, especially entertainment.
\n
\n“Existing Airtel broadband customers can upgrade to V-Fiber with superfast data speeds at no extra monthly cost. If they are not happy with the service within one month, Airtel will refund the modem charges,” the Airtel spokesperson said.
\n
\nIn 2012, India’s top carrier started FTTH service, which is now available in more than 90 cities with a total customer base of nearly two million. Jio has plans to progressively extend FTTH network to 100 cities in India.
\n
\nQueries to Jio did not elicit any response.
\n
\nMeanwhile, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is also instrumental in leveraging cable television infrastructure for broadband utility, already deployed by telcos’ smaller rivals in 100 million homes.
\n
\n“If 100 million cable TV homes carry 10 Mbps or more bandwidth, then we can have a reliable broadband infrastructure,” Trai chairman RS Sharma had said earlier.
\n
\nIndia is trailing behind nations such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore in fixed-line broadband connections.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":56603208,"title":"Airtel refutes allegation of non-cooperation, asks Jio to improve its act","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/airtel-refutes-allegation-of-non-cooperation-asks-jio-to-improve-its-act\/56603208","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"seoschemas":false,"msid":56600323,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Home broadband: A new battleground between rivals Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio","synopsis":"Sunil Mittal-driven Bharti Airtel is delivering high-speed in-home broadband services through V-Fiber, while Jio has launched pilot services in three large cities \u2013 Mumbai, Pune and Chennai.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/home-broadband-a-new-battleground-between-rivals-bharti-airtel-and-reliance-jio","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Muntazir Abbas","author_link":"\/author\/479234376\/muntazir-abbas","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479234376.cms?width=250&height=250&imgsize=6902","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":479234376,"author_name":"Muntazir Abbas","author_seo_name":"muntazir-abbas","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ETTelecom","artdate":"2017-01-16 23:03:23","lastupd":"2017-01-17 09:24:35","breadcrumbTags":["Mumbai","Pune","Chennai","Airtel","industry","Bharti Airtel","Wi-Fi","Hathway","Tikona","Spectranet","FTTH","Reliance Jio","home broadband","V-Fiber","Nextra Teleservices."],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/home-broadband-a-new-battleground-between-rivals-bharti-airtel-and-reliance-jio"}}" data-authors="[" muntazir abbas"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2017-01-16" data-index="article_1">
家庭宽带:一个新的战场Jio竞争对手Bharti Airtel和依赖
苏尼尔Mittal-driven Bharti Airtel是提供高速家庭宽带服务通过心室颤动,而Jio启动了试点服务三大城市孟买,浦那和钦奈。
新德里:激烈的竞争对手Bharti Airtel和依赖JioInfocomm银行在家庭宽带或光纤到家庭(FTTH)网络,挖掘新的商机,积极推出服务,只有加强两者之间的竞争。
苏尼尔Mittal-driven Bharti附近的旅馆是提供高速家庭宽带服务心室颤动,而Jio在三个大城市——启动了试点服务孟买,浦那和钦奈。
基于欧洲标准向量化技术,Airtel的心室颤动转换家庭宽带的经验和有潜力提供100 Mbps的速度在无需多设备或无线网络Airtel发言人告诉等环境。
市场领导者将其固网宽带业务在一级城市,Jio推出之前,无限的免费试用三个月提供给新客户。
Jio,由亿万富翁穆凯什•安巴尼也开始进军光纤到家(FTTH)网络称为GigaFiber宽带和提供服务是免费的,直到3月31日与100 Mbps的数据速度选择居民区的钦奈,浦那和孟买地区。
中国设备制造商华为部署Airtel已经商业化在8个城市推出V-Fiber-based宽带服务,包括钦奈,孟买,浦那(班加罗尔,海德拉巴,艾哈迈达巴德、印多尔和博帕尔。它计划在德里首都区。
对印度和南亚主管Rohan Dhamija Analysys Mason,说家庭宽带服务运营商的意义只有在高每用户平均收入(ARPU)集群在大城市。
“FTTH技术使业务案例等高ARPU地理集群高层住宅建筑,而在印度,架空电缆也做来解决现有的通行权(行)等挑战,加快部署,”他说。
Dhamija说100 Mbps的速度是一个关键的区别和电信公司应该考虑它而使资本支出。
“Airtel和Jio将得到进一步增强,如果他们看提供捆绑固定电话和移动服务为了让它四重奏”,“Dhamija补充道。
印度内政宽带普及率明显低,只有约1800万连接和顶级电信运营商,Bharti Airtel和信实Jio与当地等竞争对手的激烈竞争Hathway,Spectranet,Tikona和Nextra电信业务。
”也就不足为奇了雄心勃勃的电信玩家Airtel和Jio认识到纤维未来竞争力的重要性,并投入大量资源,“ComFirst Mahesh Uppal主任说。
Uppal表示纤维是至关重要的网络服务来满足日益增长的需求,特别是娱乐。
“现有Airtel宽带用户可以升级到心室颤动和超高速数据传输速度在没有额外的每月费用。如果他们不满意服务,一个月内Airtel将退还现代指控,”Airtel发言人表示。
2012年,印度最大的运营商开始FTTH技术服务,目前在90多个城市总客户近二百万人。Jio计划逐步FTTH网络扩展到100个城市在印度。
查询Jio没有引起任何反应。
与此同时,印度电信管理局(火车)也有助于利用有线电视宽带基础设施效用,由电信公司已经部署在1亿个家庭的规模较小的竞争对手。
“如果1亿有线电视家庭携带10 Mbps或更多的带宽,然后我们可以有一个可靠的宽带基础设施,“火车主席RS Sharma说。
