This landmark event, reported by thestatesman, underscores BSNL’s commitment to harnessing indigenous technology to deliver cutting-edge telecommunications services to the masses.
Driving Innovation with Indigenous Technology
In response to the Government of India’s directive to leverage indigenous technology for 4G/5G deployment, BSNL has embarked on a pioneering journey to revolutionize the telecom landscape in the country. At a time when no Indian company possessed proven technology or equipment for such endeavors, BSNL stepped up to the challenge, demonstrating its unwavering dedication to national self-reliance and technological advancement.

Overcoming Challenges for Progress
BSNL’s journey towards indigenous 4G deployment has not been without its share of challenges.
