6. DRAWBACK OF EXISTING
SYSTEM.
• Deployment of 4G network in India is certainly not going to be easy as the telecom
operators face the challenge to launch a new network along with improving the
existing 2G and 3G networks in the country.
• Since Airtel will be the first to launch 4G services in India whereas reliance jio
plans to enter the market after a month,Airtel will already acquire a good customer
base.
• *since Reliance Jio is in a pre-launch phase it is very early to specify the
drawbacks.*

7. • Struggled to deliver quality.
• Airtel 4g is the only is the only major competition that Reliance Jio faces.
• 4G adoption is likely to get another boost from the low-cost/budget smartphones
supporting the network .
• Operators need to brace up to deliver hassle-free services to customers.
• Being the second largest mobile market in the world , Reliance Jio needs to
keep this in mind that they need to cater to a mass audience not only with a
good network but also LTE enabled handset options and various apps.
• Reliance Jio can likely have a triple approach of Voice(calls), TV and Boadband
Data focusing on full wallet share of subscribers.

21. LIMITATIONS
1) Tower identification :
• Difficult to contact the concerned person of the society
(chairman/secretary).
• Time constraint.
• Identity proof required (people had trust issues).
• Due to various news the customer were under a perception that a
tower emits harmful radiations that causes health issues.so the
customer was already in a negative mind-set

22. 2) Small cell concept :
• Time constraint with relation to setting up a meeting with the owner of
the concerned place.
• Important to approach the owner with the technician to gain more
brightness of how profitable setting up the small cell will be to him.
3) Retailers:
• Very crucial to make the retailer feel that he is important ,so constant
communication should be done on daily basis with the help of the
distributor.

23. RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Tower identification:
• Before approaching the society members while convincing them it would be
recommended to explain the members or the head of the society with interactive
techniques like videos and facts stating that the current towers do not emit harmful
radiations which is monitored by TRAI.
2) Small cell concept:
• Explain in detail about how profitable installing a small cell in their vicinity will be

24. 3) Retailers:
• Have a good relationship with the distributors.
• Increase their profit margin by a bit.

25. FINDINGS
• One of the major reason quite a lot retailers do not sell reliance services its because
they get less margin when compares to other network providers.
• Reliance needs to put a lot of effort into improving the connectivity issue that most
of the customers face.

26. CONCLUSION
Customers do not prefer reliance network therefore it will be a hard task to get a good
customer base for the 4G network , so it is very crucial to improve the image of the 2g
and 3g services available.
