Vishant Vora, CTO of Vodafone Idea, said that the company is currently in the process of setting up a very large-scale MIMO, or Multiple-Input Multiple-Output deployment, across the country to improve its 4G services and to prepare its networks for 5G technology. “It is a great opportunity for us to put in future-proof technologies,” he noted.
MIMO is an efficient transmission technology used in modern wireless communication which uses multiple antennas for transmission and reception. Combining multiple transmission sources enhances higher data rate and system efficiency. Smart devices with wireless standard 802.11n support this technology.
Vora added that the company was cloudifying its entire core network, “which is now very much similar to a 5G core network and gives Vodafone Idea the flexibility to offer new services and build additional capabilities through the integration of network and IT.”
