Samsung to replace Vi's Chinese gear with 5G equipment in priority circles Vodafone Idea's (Vi’s) latest order of network equipment from new partner Samsung will lead to 5G gear deployment in its six to seven telecom circles where the telco has existing gear installed from Chinese equipment makers Huawei and ZTE, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Jagbir Singh told Business Standard. Equipment from global vendors Nokia, and Ericsson will be used to boost the company’s 4G capabilities and raise the 4G population coverage to 90 per cent in the next 12 months from the current 77 per cent, he said in an interview. Last month, the telco inked a Rs 30,000 crore deal for the supply of network equipment from the three global vendors. It marked Vi's first-ever tie-up with Samsung. The deal is the first step towards the roll-out of the company’s three-year capex plan of about $6.6 billion or Rs 55,000 crore announced earlier. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Samsung #VI
