Rcom gets loan from chinese bank

Rcom has recieved a $750 million loan from china development bank that would be invested in building a nation wide GSM footprint for the telephony major.The Anil Ambani group company has received the loan for a ten-year period and at a rate of Libor (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 80 basis points. RCom had received the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) approvals for the loan, sources close to the development said. The loan gives significant advantage to the company's GSM foray as it carries a tenure 3 to 4 years longer and around 50 basis points lower than any other options, they said. When contacted, an RCom spokesperson confirmed the development. The company will use a large part of the loan to purchase GSM electronic equipment from Taiwanese electronic major Huawei. RCom plans to launch nationwide GSM services by the end of this financial year and has announced a capital expenditure of $1 billion for active GSM infrastructure. RCom will lease passive infrastructure from Reliance Infratel, a company in which it holds 95 per cent equity. The company has begun discussions with leading equipment manufacturers such as Huawei, Alcatel Lucent, ZTE, Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia, among others.

EVDO Connection Problems Troubleshooting

If your are having problems connecting to EVDO network or accesing internet, try the steps given below:
1. Double check user id and password entered.
2. Check that you do have EVDO or CDMA coverage at the area.
3. Disable all other network connections in your windows system.
4. Check that no proxy is configured in the browser.

Technical details of BSNL EVDO service

In BSNL EVDO service you don't get a public IP. You will get a static shared IP.
Typically there is no problem with this but it will create problems except in cases
where public IP is important.
For eg: Rapidshare has a download limit per IP. Since you are sharing same IP
with a lot of other EVDO users, you may not be able to download from Rapidshare.
Currently there are limited EVDO connections but if the EDVO connections are
increased BSNL will allow public IP.

Tips for speeding up your EVDO connection

Sometimes the EVDO connection speed will be slow.This may happen for different reasons.
First: There could be weak signal in your area
Second: There maynot be EVDO coverage in your BSNL network antenna.
Third: Also if there are too many customers connecting to a specific BSNL network antenna.

TO overcome this,experiment positioning the card at different places.
Also turn the antenna and see whether signal strength improves.
