BSNL rolling out 4G network
According to a recent report by Gadgets 360, Vaishnav says that the 4G-5G telecom stack has been developed in India. Stack development started with BSNL. 200 sites have been set up between Chandigarh and Dehradun and will go live in next two weeks at the most.
For your information, let us tell you that BSNL has given an advance purchase order of more than Rs 19,000 crore to Tata Consultancy Services and ITI Limited for the development of 4G network with more than 1.23 lakh sites.
200 sites will be live in a day
Vaishnav says that you will be surprised to see the speed at which BSNL will develop. After testing for three months, they will do 200 sites a day. This is the average on which they will move. BSNL’s network will initially work like 4G. Very soon around November-December it will become 5G with a very small software adjustment.
5G site went live in Chardham
Today practically one 5G site is being activated every minute. The world is shocked. Vaishnav said that it is a matter of pride for him that the 2,00,000th 5G site has been installed in Chardham.
