Chennai:
Now Chennaites can have the advantage of browsing at the
speed of 6.2 MBPS with the launch of Tata Docomo’s Photon Max, the latest
addition to its best-selling photon family of next generation high-speed mobile
broadband access on CDMA prepay and postpay platform in the city.
Addressing the press conference after the launch of Photon
Max in the city, Tata Docomo’s mobility business unit head, Tamil Nadu and
Kerala Rajan Gupta said that Photon Max will be availablein the city at an
introductory price of Rs 1299.
Powered by Qualcomm Gobi with dual processor technology,
Photon Max promises faster and reliable connectivity offering video speeds virtually
everywhere, he said. Photon Max also has the unique capability of sending and receiving
signals from two different carriers simultaneously which helps it deliver
superior modem speeds, he said.
He said that Photon Max has an advantage over 3G
competitors. “When 3G was launched, there was not that much spectrum. Now with the
availability of spectrum and the towers one could maintain the same speed while
browsing in house,” he said.
He said 90 CDMA towers were erected before the launch of
Photon Max. Interestingly, Tata Docomo is planning to add another 600 towers in
the state in the next three months. This wouldprovide CDMA and GSM services, he
said. Tata Docomo currently has more
than 5.5million people in the state use its Photon services.
He also announced that the city will soon get Wingle, a wi-fi
dongle that can be used by five people at a time. Although he refused to reveal
the price of Wingle, he said this would also help people whose Tab does not
have 3G connection. Wingle is likely to be launched next month.
