bsnl vowifi is going to launch soon

BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited), a state-run Indian telecom operator, has been trying to upgrade its services to match private competitors. One of the key services that the telco is yet to launch is VoWi-Fi. The VoWi-Fi actually stands for Voice Over Wi-Fi calling or simply, Wi-Fi calling. It is supported by most devices which are launching in the market today. The VoWi-Fi service allows users to get a crystal clear voice calling experience evven when they are indoors (if they are connected to a good Wi-Fi network). Many operators face the issue of providing proper indoor voice calling experience.

Make Telecom Talk My Trusted Source

However, this is what is going to change with VoWi-Fi service, for BSNL users soon. Note that the private telcos including Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi) are already offering Wi-Fi calling service to the consumers.

BSNL Chairman and Managing Director (CMD), Robert Jerard Ravi, in an interaction with ET Telecom said, “Live pilots for VoWi-Fi are ongoing in two zones, and performance has been strong in indoor and low-signal environments. Pending a final go-ahead, we’ll make the service available shortly to our customers.”
