4G Rising, 5G Incoming: BSNL Calls on Public to Dial In a Name

In a significant leap for India’s telecom scene, BSNL is gearing up to roll out an impressive one lakh (100,000) additional 4G towers across the nation, building on the successful launch of its first batch of one lakh towers just this month. This expansion is all about bolstering BSNL’s network, especially as the company prepares to unveil its highly anticipated 5G services and take on the big players in the market.

 

Key Highlights:

 

•⁠  ⁠The Department of Telecommunications is set to seek Cabinet approval for this next phase, which will effectively double BSNL’s 4G infrastructure and pave the way for future 5G enhancements.

 

•⁠  ⁠BSNL’s 4G rollout is powered by homegrown technology, developed in collaboration with TCS, Tejas Networks, C-DOT, and ITI Ltd, marking a significant milestone for the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative.

 

•⁠  ⁠Any initial equipment hiccups have mostly been ironed out, with expectations of near-perfect performance by July-August 2025.

 

•⁠  ⁠In a refreshing twist, BSNL is inviting the public to help name its upcoming 5G service, welcoming suggestions through social media until June 13 at 5 PM.

 

Outlook:

With this bold expansion and a crowdsourced approach to branding its 5G service, BSNL is positioning itself as a modern and competitive force in India’s telecom industry. If all goes well, users can look forward to enhanced connectivity and a truly homegrown digital experience in the months ahead.
