Indian telco Vodafone Idea (Vi) said on Thursday it has signed a deal with Cisco to deploy an MPLS transport solution in its 4G/5G backhaul network to improve network agility, scalability and operational efficiency.
The Indian government has reportedly expanded its ownership stake in Vodafone Idea from 22.6% to 48.99% by converting around INR369.5 billion (US$4.3 billion) of the telco’s spectrum payment dues into equity shares.
