Uninor is a mobile telephony and network operator in India.[1] The company holds a pan-India UAS licence[2] to offer telecommunications services in each of India’s 22 circles. It has also received spectrum to roll out these services in 21 of the 22 telecom circles. Uninor is subsidiary of Norwegian telecom giant Telenor Group (67.25%) and Unitech Group (32.75%). Uninor has started mobile services in India at the end of 2009, focusing on the GSM technology. As of now(2010-11)the company is mired in the multi-billion SPECTRUMGATE scandal perpetrated with the connivance of the erstwhile telecommunication minister A.Raja.

History

The company Unitech Wireless was until 2009 a subsidiary of Unitech Group, holding a wireless services licence for all 22 Indian telecom circles since 2008. In early 2009, Unitech Group and Telenor agreed on a majority take-over by Telenor of Unitech's wireless business, including Unitech Wireless' national-wide mobile licence. By March, May and November, Telenor acquired a 33%, 49% and 60% stake in Unitech Wireless, respectively. In September, the mobile operation changed its name to Uninor. On October 19 the Indian Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) announced that it has approved Telenor's acquisition of up to 74% in Unitech Wireless, and the shareholder's agreement sets a 67.25% Telenor ownership in Uninor.[3]

Uninor's strategy

Uninor is India's eighth nation-wide mobile operator, in a competitive landscape of 13 nation-wide or regional mobile operators. The company is targeting an 8 % pan-Indian market share, and the opening of one million retail points and breaking even on EBITDA within three years.[4] It will provide mobile communication and Value Added Servic.

In order to reduce time-to-market, Uninor will outsource infrastructure and back-end services to partner organizations with established core competencies.[5] The operational model is low-cost with a gradual network-build up, infrastructure sharing, GSM equipment at competitive cost, full-scale IT-outsourcing and a long term cost and capex efficiency.

Uninor will organise with headquarters just outside Delhi (Gurgaon), and 11 regional hubs covering one or more of the total of 22 telecom circles. Hub head offices are located in the following cities:

To quickly launch mobile services only nine months after the foundation of the new company, Uninor has entered into network and base station service agreements with partners. Tower sharing agreements are concluded with Wireless-TT Info Service Limited and Quippo Telecom Infrastructure Limited. Telecommunications, network and radio equipment is to be supplied by Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei Technologies India, Nokia Siemens Networks and Ericsson. The company's IT services and infrastructure is to be shared with Wipro Technologies. uninor has best in class Network using AMR technology. Uninor has the best in class Call Center Technology and almost the biggest setup of Call Center Technology based on Avaya with number of adjucts involving close integration of IVR's, MPLS backbone and SIP.

Uninor Dynamic Pricing

The operator comes with a new plan called Dynamic Pricing aka Badalta Plan. This was the first time in India to launch this type of offer and became a competitor for existing operators. As the name it self reflects, its pricing on LOCAL & STD calls changes time to time.

Initially the customer is in a basic plan of 50p/min. Then, as per the Dynamic Pricing (DP) plan, you will get a Discount on the calls in different areas of the same city. i.e; If your city have 10 Uninor Towers, If you are covered in 1st Tower, you will get one discount plan, the person in the 2nd tower will get a different discount plan like this all towers.

The discount ranges from 5% to 60% on the call charges. The Discount value varies Time to Time based on network traffic.

These Discount info are displayed on your Mobile Screen. Where you actually get tower location info, Cell Info.So you have to ON your Cell Info in your mobile settings.

So, when you get a "60% OFF on DP" on your screen it means:

You will be charged 60% less of 50p i.e; 20p/min (60% * 0.50=0.30 => 0.50-0.30=0.20) at that time.

This company also implemented Dynamic Pricing on Seconds pulse too.
