Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has announced the successful deployment of 10,000 4G sites across the nation as part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self Reliant India) initiative.
The telco is currently rolling out 4G and is working with Indian companies to deploy the technology. The 4G site count has increased significantly from 3,500 4G towers in April 2024 to 10,000 now. Additionally, BSNL is aiming for a pan-India commercial launch of 4G services, and the radio access network (RAN) that BSNL is deploying is upgradable to 5G.
Further, BSNL is soon set to launch its 4G network across Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, and Kodagu districts in Karnataka. In May, BSNL launched 4G in the Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh, which will be extended shortly across the state.
