Vodafone Idea CTO says faced network integration challenges; ensuring quality service

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI:Vodafone Idea (VIL) has faced challenges in its network integration process, including logistical and on removal of duplicate sites, but said it is on track to meet its network integration target of June 2020, with 14 circles already done.

“This is one area where people don’t realise that you can plan a lot of technology things but there are logistical aspects when you encounter all of the issues that you face in India—road, regulations, managing subcontractors—so this has been one of the biggest challenges we have had,” VIL’s chief technology officer Vishant Vora told ET.

“Getting this logistics programme to run from end to end is really a mammoth challenge,” he said.
