The Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) said on Wednesday that it has taken a host of measures to overcome the problems of call drops in Delhi.
It has added Base Transceiver Station (BTS), augmented capacity of existing BTSs, optimised various cell level parameters and optimised Radio-Frequency (RF) network through extensive RF drives. “MTNL conducted a RF drive test in Lutyens’ Bungalow Zone area on a road stretch of around 65 km,” said an MTNL spokesperson.
The area covered in the drive were Ashoka Road, India Gate, Rajpath, North Block, South Block, Parliament complex periphery, North Avenue, South Avenue, Raisina Road, Janpath, Sansad Marg, Shanti Path (diplomatic area), Jorbagh, Khan Market, Kaka Nagar, Bapa Nagar, Lodi Estate, Race Course Road and Akbar Road.
“A minimal incident of call drop occurred at eight locations namely Raisina Road, Mother Teresa Crescent, Sansad Marg, Dalhousie road roundabout, Akbar Road, Shanti Path near rail museum, B.K. Dutt colony and Pandara Park,” he said.
“These areas are deficient in RF coverage and necessary action is planned in near future to improve the coverage,” he said.
