TCS to roll out 4G/5G networks for BSNL in next 12 - 18 months
By MYBRANDBOOK
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has started rolling out the mobile network for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and expect it to be completed in stages over the next 18 months. TCS has confirmed that it will be able to deploy 4G for BSNL in 1 lakh sites in about 12-18 months, which means that by early 2025, BSNL will have 4G in 1 lakh sites in India.
BSNL will soon start offering high-speed network services in many parts of India. Tata Consultancy Services is supplying and deploying the homegrown end-to-end telecom stack for BSNL in 1 lakh sites across the country. The state-run telecom company’s 4G networks can be upgraded to 5G in a very simple manner with a software upgrade.
BSNL has already started the rollout of 4G. But going by the words of IT and Telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the large-scale 4G rollout from BSNL will start this coming Diwali.
TCS will be supplying, planning, designing, installing and commissioning the mobile sites. Moreover, the company will also look after the maintenance and modernisation of the networks for almost a decade.
In another development, the state-run telco has become the first to deploy BTS in Siachen Glacier. The deployment was done on Oct 6, 2023. This means that soldiers in the region will be able to finally get mobile networks to communicate with their families.
