Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will launch its 4G services in the Uttar Pradesh (UP) East circle beginning February 2024.
According to Rajesh Kumar Soni, general manager, BSNL, UP East, work to provide 4G services is in its final stages. The upgrade of existing 2G and 3G SIMs to 4G SIMs will be offered free of charge to existing customers. Additionally, BSNL is actively working to extend 4G services to villages where no telecom operator currently offers any service.
In addition, BSNL is reinforcing its services in Ayodhya. Soni added that three mobile phone towers have been installed at Maharshi Valmiki airport, near Ram temple, and Tent city. Furthermore, eight additional towers are in the process of being installed at various locations, including Ayodhya Dham railway station and Ayodhya Cantonment railway station.
He also highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen the landline network through the upgrading of optical fibre. Currently, there are approximately 46,000 operational landline connections.
