BSNL is all set to bring 4G services by March this year and plans to follow that up by bringing 5G in 2024.
The state-run telecom operator BSNL is likely to launch 5G services by 2024. Besides, the telecom operator has shortlisted TCS and C-DOT to roll out 4G services to the country. Notably, the company will upgrade 4G network to offer 5G by 2024 under the same contract. This means the company will bring 4G services in 2023 and a 5G network by March or April 2024 according to reports by PTI. Earlier, the Department of Telecommunication wanted BSNL to start 5G services by August this year.
The telecom operator has also approved the Skipper project to supply 4G towers in Rajashtan and Odisha. This means Skipper will help the telecom operator to set up a 4G network or services in two circles, which means the former will help the telecom operator in rolling out 4G networks.
These towers are for setting up 4G services under the 4G saturation projects and all areas which are not covered yet or dependent on 2G or 3G networks will get mobile communication.
