Vodafone India has now announced the roll-out of its 4G services in Kedarnath, Uttarakhand. The 4G site has been successfully installed in the vicinity of the temple at a height of about (11,755 ft), enabling customers to experience seamless VODAFONE SuperNet 4G in and around the temple premises.
Vodafone is among the first private telecom service providers to launch 4G at Kedarnath. The launch has been timed with the annual Chardham Yatra which draws pilgrims across the country to the recently renovated shrine set in the picturesque landscape, in Rudraprayag district. Vodafone customers visiting the shrine can now share their spiritual experience live, with friends and family across India and overseas through voice and video calls, sharing photographs and videos on VODAFONE SuperNet 4G.
The launch of Vodafone SuperNet 4G in Kedarnath will also help the local authorities to supervise and manage the yatra trek route, in case of an emergency. With the fully renovated Kedarnath shrine ready to welcome pilgrim in large numbers, VODAFONE SuperNet 4G will help facilitate a worry-free journey, enhancing their spiritual experience.
Vodafone has in the past one year provided 4G data connectivity to 500+ sites in the hilly regions of Kumaon and Garhwal including Dehradun, Haridwar, Garhwal, Tehri, Nainital, Champawat, Chamoli, Udham Singh Nagar, Almora in Uttarakhand.
