BSNL EVDO started at Coimbatore.

Submitted by: Subash

I visited to one of the local exchange at Saravanampatti, Coimbatore to enquire about the EV-DO. At that time BSNL officials testing the EV-DO coverage. Actually in Coimbatore - they have installed EV-DO in 2 towers(Race course and Ganapathy). And it started function from yesterday (16-Jan-2008)

My place is near to Ganapathy (6-7 kms by road)- so they had checking the signals . In saravanmpatty they are not able to get the EV-DO signal, but they are able to receive the 144 kbps. So they plan to increase the height of the instrument at the tower.


They suggest me to wait for another week - so that they can check the signal strengths fully.


From their view- they are able to get the signal from 800-900 kbps on EV-DO on different areas within the coverage.


Also the cost for the connection is Rs 550 per month and the device rent is 200. So it comes 750 rs per month + tax.


They are treating me well :)

  11. I have purchased EV-DO, but there is no tower signal in saravanampatti where big BPO industries and great business people are there. i have laptop also, but no signal. BSNL told they are installing tower as soon as possible in saravanampatti. if they do it soon, i can start my business. else all the money i invested in evdo, and other instruments is an utter waste. so BSNL authorities kindly take action immediately for installing evdo tower in saravanampatti.

    kindly do the needful at your end.
