Vodafone Idea completes network deployment across Kolkata’s underwater metro route

07 Mar 2024 Evaluate

Vodafone Idea (Vi) has successfully completed its network deployment across the Kolkata’s entire underground East-West Metro corridor route. With this, Vi customers traveling via the underwater metro rail service will experience uninterrupted connectivity across the entire 16.6 kilometer route of the Green Line metro.

To ensure seamless network connectivity for travelers commuting from Howrah Maidan to Esplanade, Vi has deployed cutting-edge network infrastructure across all 17 stations on the Green Line route, including a 10.8 kilometer stretch consisting of 6 underground stations (Phool Bagan, Sealdah, Esplanade, Mahakaran, Howrah Station, Howrah Maidan) and 11 ground / elevated stations (Teghoria, Raghunathpur, Baguiati, Dum Dum Park, Kestopur, Salt Lake Sector V, Karunamoyee, Central Park, City Centre, Bengal Chemical, and Salt Lake Stadium). Out of these 11 elevated stations, 6 stations namely Salt Lake Sector V, Karunamoyee, Central Park, City Centre, Bengal Chemical and Salt Lake Stadium are accessible to public and other 5 stations will also be opened in due course. However, Vi has ensured complete network infrastructure deployment across all the stations.

The major factor that differentiates the East-West metro corridor is the tunnel, which is located 13 meters below the Hooghly riverbed and 33 meters below the surface level. To enable its customers to experience a superior network, Vi has deployed IBS (in-building solutions) inside the tunnel under the river as well as the underground metro tunnel.

Vodafone Idea is an Aditya Birla Group and Vodafone Group partnership. It is developing world-class infrastructure to introduce newer and smarter technologies, making both retail and enterprise customers future ready with innovative offerings conveniently accessible through an ecosystem of digital channels as well as extensive on-ground presence.
