Based on the latest update, BSNL(Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) plans to launch commercial 4G services by August 15.
We already know that the state-owned telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is about to launch its much-awaited 4G network. BSNL is going to launch a 4G network in the country on 15th August this year. This time, a senior official of the company said that BSNL will also launch a 5G network at the same time. Are you surprised? Thinking that companies like Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea, or Airtel have not been able to launch a 5G network in the country yet, will BSNL bring a 5G network in India before them? In fact, on 15 August, along with 4G, BSNL is going to bring a 5G (5G NSA) network of non-stand-alone mode. The Center for Development of Telematics announced this at the fifth Economic Times Congress of 2022.

Rajkumar Upadhyay, executive director and chairman of C-DOT, or the Center for the Development of Telematics, says:
âWhile we are working on our Proof of Concept or POC, we are also working on our 5G network. And we will be able to bring that 5G non-stand Alon or NSA by August, 2022. So the service can be started from that time, which is going to be 4G plus 5G. â
Mr. Upadhyay further said that 5G NSA will be ready for deployment by this yearâs Independence Day.
BSNL 4G network
A senior official of the state-run telecom company said, âThe BSNL 4G network has been successfully completedâ. Meanwhile, Upadhyay further claimed, âWe think that BSNL will launch its 4G network by consolidating all the commercial deals, which is going to happen very soon. An official directive will come and we hope to be able to launch BSNL 4G service by August this year. â Although all the private telecom companies in the country have launched 4G services, the delay in the case of BSNL is due to the financial problems of the government telco.

BSNL 5G network
According to a report, the Confederation, a Tata Consultancy Services or TCS-backed confederation, will conduct field trials in Ambala and Chandigarh, two cities in the country, to demonstrate the 5G network employed by the state-owned telecom company. Although previous consortiums led by L&T, HFCL, and Tech Mahindra were selected for field trials, the Confederation later withdrew.
According to Mr. Prince Upadhyay, âWe will launch 5G NSA by August this year and will be able to bring 5GSA next year.â
a senior C-Dot executive, we are to be releasing our NSA or 5G Next Stage Access network in August and BSNL SA in the third quarter of 2023.
Also, It should be noted that the non-stand Alon network is not for general human use, it is for trial only. People will be able to use BSNL as soon as it brings its 5G stand-alone network. In other words, the people of the country will be able to use BSNL 4G from August this year and by the end of 2023, BSNL 5G network will reach them.
The CEO of TCIL has acknowledged its association with the Department of Telecommunications (DOT) and has done a large share of the groundwork on products and tasks that belong to the Border Security Force (BSNL). In his view, thereâs always a chance to collaborate with an external entity.
