INTRODUCTION

The Word Cellular has been originated from the English Word

Cell.

Cellular Telephony is a network of wireless equipment, which

use radio waves .The cellular phone sends and receives radio single

to and from nearest cell site, which is connected to the mobile

Switching Center (MSC). The MSC is connected to the conventional

local phone network. The use of radio waves as the communication

line eliminates the use of wires that tie down to one point. As long as

you are in the cellular service area, whether you are moving or

stationary you remain connected at all times.

When you subscribe to cellular phone service you are provided

with a SIM Card (Subscriber Identity Module ). The SIM Card is about

the size of a regular band credit Card with a microchip, which stores
you cellular number and other subscriber information. In the field of

cellular telephone, now a day mainly four technique are used which

are G.S.M. C.D.M.A, W.L.L, M.P.S./Cellular business based on GSM

and P.D.C.S.

Technology is spread all over the world. There are about 400

GCM network on air more than 164 countries, totaling close to 473

million subscribers. Different operator allows assessing different type

network GSM networks. There are essentially three type network –

900,1800 and 1900GSM.

What is GSM?

GSM stand for Global system for mobile communication. It lays

down the common standard for mobile telephone. Which allows the

subscriber to use their handsets, in any place ,which has GSM

coverage.

GSM in the PAN European standard for digital cellular

telephone services it is worlds fastest growing mobile communication

standard. GSM was designed for European market to provide the


advantage of automatic, international roaming in multiple countries.

GSM system has already been implemented in Asia, Africa and the

Middle East

Being a digital technology GSM provide crystal clear sound,

fewer drop cells, excellent transmission quality and mobility not only

in India but even when you are traveling abroad.

The Sim card is vital component in GSM operation. The user

can store all relevant data for the phone on a removable plastic care.

The card can be plugged onto any GSM compatible phone and the

phone is instantly personalized for the user.

How the GSM Cellular phone

Works

1. The caller while stationary or while traveling want to make a

call.
2. His call is transmitted to the nearest radio base station from

where; it is transmitted through a microwave ling or through a fiber

optic cable to a mobile switch on exchange for mobile phone cells.

3. If the cell is to another mobile subscriber, the mobile switch to

another radio base station, from where it is transmitted to the

receiver’s mobile phone, directs it

4. In case the call is to subscriber on another network, fixed or

mobile. It is directed to the public network via the mobile switch and is

then carried to its destination like a normal call.

Dealer Satisfaction

Under the survey there was a question to measure the level of


satisfaction from the service providing company with the help of
parameters such as:

Airtel Escotel
 Poor  Poor
 Average  Average
 Good  Good
 Excellent  Excellent

It was observed in case of Airte, dealers were satisfied and they


ranked it as company satisfying the dealer on an average. Whereas,
Escotel was going with the updation of its Network, its customers like
busy network faced so many problems call dropping, non-connectivity
etc.
Overall it was viewed that Escotel was not doing well in serving
its dealers & customer when compared to Airtel. At that point of time
they were installing SIEMENS Switches in their Network.

Visibility

During the survey emphasis was also paid on the factor of

visibility

 GOLW SIGN
 NEWS PAPER
 RADIO
 TELEVISION
 PAPER WALLS
 HOLDING

Views

Talking about the complaints and suggestion it was found that


people ware satisfied with the performance of Airtel in Bareilly.

Reason being the have improved their network a lot.

Where as Escotel was facing some problems related to Airtel


need to improve its customer Care service as complained by the
customers of U.P. West. It is having its customer care in Delhi so it is
not easy to solve each & every query of customers so fast as it is
done in case of Escotel, it is having its customer care for U.P. West &
Uttaranchal customers in Vidya Lakshmi complex, Bareilly

CONCLUSION

During the survey it was found that 48% of the dealers were

keeping both V-tel and Magic in their other outlet.

5% were keeping. V-tel.

And 4% dealers were having Magic (prepaid)+Airtel (post paid). Out

of the above data 27% dealers’ were interested in being exclusive for

Airtel.

8% dealers do not want to be exclusive for either company.

And rest 6% dealers said that their exclusivity depends upon the

Company’s scheme.

The weekly average connection sold by dealers of Airtel ranges

between 3-5 to 6-10.

Where as on the other hand it was 0-2 to 3-5 for Escotel.


The study reveled that customers preferred more of Airtel

connection compared to V-tel. Due to the good network service

provided by Airtel.

At some point Escotel was giving strong competition to Airtel

because of its good schemes. The prepaid connection is more

popular that the post paid connections due to the limited consumption

of mobile phone in the region. 60% of the people preferred to have

the prepaid connection and only 40% of them wanted to use the post

paid connections. During the survey respondent’s support was quit

well and 45% of the people gave suggestions in order to improve the

services of Bharti Cellular Connection Lte.

Airtel should be really proud of its new 32K Sim launched which

is really attracting new customers.


Swot Analysis Strength
 Airtel was the 2nd to be launched in U.P. (W)

 Wide network of franchise and dealers with sales team.

 It has its 24 hrs customer care service in Delhi and shortly

open in Bareilly.

 Offers a number of value added service to the sustomers.

 The financial muscles of the Bharti group back Bharti.

 Airtel cellular network has been built by lucent technology

the leading telecommunication equipment provider in the

world.

 Airtel provides the widest coverage more than any other

circle service provider in the country.

 Airtel provides high-level signal transmission foe stable

and ensure network.

 Proper and regular advertisement by which customer can

easily know about various changes and new scheme.


 Having an internal communication system i.e. called

RUG.

Weakness

 Some customers are not satisfied with the services of

the company.

 Should learn to handle its potential customer by their

proper knowledge.

 There are some customers who do not pay their bills

regularly, so there must be proper arrangements o

calling bill from such customers.

 There are some customers who get connection by

depositing wrong address proof and documents so it

reduces the reliability of regular customers.

 Business of customer care dept., reduces the

satisfaction of customers.

 Airtel has weak signals in interior areas of city and

basements.
Opportunities

 There are tremendous opportunities in cellular market.

 Airtel has got license of four new circles (Punjab, U.P. (E),

Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh). So the company has lots of

opportunities in these new circles.

 Airtel has providing prepaid connections. So it creates new

opportunities for low- income groups to access.

 Airtel has providing national roaming and international roaming

facility so that high-income groups can get easy access.

 Bharti group is backed by the financial muscles of bharti group

so it has an opportunities to go in international cellular market.


Threats

 Competition with Dot phones.

 BSNL is knocking the door of cellular market with a lest cost.

 Government have issued the licenses to AIRTEL and

RELIANCE to provide its services in U.P.(W) circle.

 Airtel is going to provide its services in four new circles so it has

face cut through competition by existing companies.


Suggestions

While going through the survey, I came know what the common mass

thing about Bharti Cellular Communication Ltd.

It is doing well but needs to improve as an ongoing process. The

prospect base of the company is very high. But nothing succeeds

better then success. So, Airtel has to improvise. On certain grounds

on the basis of my survey I am giving the following suggestion.

 Dealers should be provided with the booklet of all

the facilities and services what so ever he/she will get.

 Claims should be cleared as early as possible.

 Standard and amount of visible should be improved

and increased respectively.

 New and better schemes should be launched to

maintain its position in market.


 There are a lot of single dealers of Airtel also

interested to sell connections of Escotel. So Escotel should reach

to them as soon as possible.

 Regular pamphlets should be send to the dealers to

educate them about the new changes in schemes/policy/changes

etc.

 The margin if the dealer should be increased to an

optimum level affordable by the company to motivate the dealer in

further improvement.

 There are certain points on highway where Airtel

needs to improve its signals. They should promote the sales force

to enhance the after sales services.


Limitations

Market research suffers from several limitations. A large no. of

problems caused by financial constants, insufficient, sample size,

lack of personal contact etc. during the survey following limitation was

observed.

 The sample size decided by the company was comparatively

small to know the present market scenario.

 The survey as too much of time consuming as it was person-to

person interview and a door-to-door survey.

 The dealers come times did not respond properly and asked

irrelevant questions, to the questions put to them.

 The survey was only confined in Bareilly.

 The problem arose with dealers as they provided wrong and

bias information to protect their image I front of their favoring

company.
