In a bid to cut costs and boost network coverage, dual-technology operators Reliance Communications (RCom) and Tata Teleservices have joined hands under a 2G intra-circle roaming arrangement. Under the agreement, RCom will use 5,000 towers of TTSL across 14 GSM circles while the latter will gain access to an equal number of towers in RCom's CDMA network to improve its reach.
The term dual-technology refers to operators offering services using both GSM technology, which is the dominant standard, as well as CDMA, a rival technology.
With this agreement, the third for RCom, the company now has access to networks of Aircel, Loop and TTSL across the country, increasing its network coverage by an additional 10,000 towers. Reliance Communications currently has over 45,000 towers of its own.
