Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will launch another 1 lakh 4G towers in India, which will further improve its network coverage across rural and urban areas. This comes after the successful induction of 1 lakh towers last month, which is one of the significant milestones in BSNL's telecom infrastructure expansion.
Key Highlights
4G Expansion: BSNL will introduce 1 lakh new 4G towers in the second phase.
Government Support: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will go to the Cabinet for further growth.
Public Engagement: BSNL has launched a crowdsourced initiative to name its upcoming 5G service, requesting suggestions from people through social media.
Future Plans: The firm plans to enhance cash flow, introduce more 5G equipment, and sell property to compete with private telecom companies.
Industry Influence & Future Prospects
BSNL's approach to expansion is to spur connectivity, particularly in less-connected regions. Identifying its 5G service by name publicly addresses a customer-centric ethos, getting users involved prior to its 5G release.
