Where did you receive information about towers?If you got them from BSNL website,you could be lucky.According to BSNL website the nearest tower from my house is in anna nagar(1.5-2km's atleast) and according to the signal spreadout graph on their website signal edges exactly upto my house ..my house is at the verge.However even beyond my house,upto 2km's i noticed evdo signals were reachable at an electronic shop(just checked once while buying an extension cable).Also at my grandparent's place which is about 600m from my house,evdo signals were oretty much existing.Yet again,in my aunt's place,in KILAUK nearest towers were shenoy nagar,anna nagar,none of which were shown on the website to have coverage nearing kilpauk garden,however i noticed full signals.I can assure BSNL website doesnt show any coverage in the areas i have specified above.So you never know,maybe bsnl website hasnt been updated with recent developments,or maybe the surrounding tower is capable of more than what bsnl has indicated under normal urban conditions.I remmber another thread in this forum,where a BSNl employe said bts towers were capable of 5km radius coverage without any obstructions in the path.However here in chennai even 1-2km is way too higher considering conjested buildings and obstacles in the path.Raveendar said:Guys,what will be the radius of tower coverage, The tower in my place (sithalapakkam, near Medavakkam Chennai) has no EVDO. The tower in Medavakkam which has EVDO is nearly 3kms aerially. I read somewhere that EVDO works better in 0-3km radius. Can someone throw light on this? I would appreciate.@jacobz6, Could you help me out here
Yup, you are correct, you will never know without testing yourself in the case of BSNL, I got all the data reg. towers from BSNL website, My house is exactly 1km - aerially - after the signal spread out graph shown in their website (those 1 km I dont have big obstructions, as there is a lake in between). The nearby tower acc. to their website is GSM/3G, which is pretty close. If I can get hold of any EVDO BSNL usb I can test it myself, have to wonder till then!!InternetAddict007 said:Where did you receive information about towers?If you got them from BSNL website,you could be lucky.
