It is understood that BSNL has achieved the installation of 50000 Indigenous 4G Sites today.

GS AIGETOA congratulated CMD BSNL and management on achieving this important milestone.

WE SINCERELY HOPE THAT FULL FLEDGED ROLL OUT OF 4G/5G SERVICES OF BSNL BECOMES A REALITY SOON.

AIGETOA has consistently been highlighting the issues being faced in roll-out and Maan Network before management. Recently GS AIGETOA highlighted the major issues faced by BSNL in its 4G roll-out and the various problems associated with MAAN. As a consequence, many important instructions/strictures have been given to the vendors for corrective action.

In another major development, it is understood that the vendor of the MAAN has assured BSNL that corrective actions with respect to the issues being faced in MAAN is being taken expeditiously and it is expected that issues being faced shall be resolved in next few days. We request all the executives to keep us updated about the issues faced so that the same can be highlighted well in time before management for corrective action.

We are happy to note that management is responsive to the issues being highlighted by association and the corrective actions and necessary directions are being passed on to the concerned to resolve the issues.

We understand that with cooperation and togetherness, BSNL will achieve the target of roll-out 1 lakh 4G sites very soon.

GS BMS Shri Ravindra Himte Ji takes up the issue of empowering BSNL to launch full fledged 4G/5G not only in the interest of nation but also in the general interest of common public. BSNL has always acted as a market balancer and as a catalyst to keep the private operators in check. Launch of Cell one service made private operators to reduce tariff, when BSNL made incoming free, all operators followed, when BSNL launched all India free Roaming, private operators also had to do it.

The mobile today is not only a means of communication but also a source of livelihood for many people in the country. Hence providing affordable mobile and communication services to citizens is an obligation on the part of government. This cannot be ensured without strong presence of BSNL in 4G/5G services. Today the public is running for BSNL SIM but a lack of 4G/5G to BSNL is restraining them to do so.

Hence, GS BMS Shri Ravindra Himte Ji appeals for intervention of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji for allowing BSNL to upgrade its mobile network to the 4G/5G Technology so that BSNL can roll out full-fledged 4G services.

GS BMS also assures firm support on behalf of BMS and BSNL employees to the Homegrown 4G initiative but at the same time, maintains that now it has become mandatory that BSNL may be allowed to upgrade its network to 4G/5G, till the time development of Indigenous 4G core is completed.

BSNL 4G is live in many areas in India and the company is now offering free 4G SIM to its customers till December 31. This is India’s first indigenous 4G network, though its rollout was not smooth. Reports said Tata Consultancy Services may emerge as a partner aiding the later phases of the rollout.

BSNL has been working on the 4G network with the help of Indian technology for quite some time. In January this year, BSNL floated the Expression of Interest for proof of concept from Indian Companies interested in participating in BSNL’s upcoming 4G tender. In July, the letter of intent was issued to five eligible bidders, according to department information.
