BSNL is too Late to Launch 4G, Will it Affect 5G Launch as Well

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is too late to launch 4G networks in India. All the private telcos have already done that.

BSNL 4G Launch Needs to Happen Soon, Why Govt is Pushing for It

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is soon "expected" to launch 4G networks across India using homegrown technology. There are many who wonder why BSNL is not launching 5G straightaway and why the telco is going for 4G first when others are shifting to 5G. Well, if BSNL wants to go for 5G first, it would need to deploy 5G SA (Standalone), which would be way more costly and won't benefit... Read More
