BSNL 5G – Now fast internet starts in every corner of India
The Government of India’s telecom company BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) is going to play a big role in the digital revolution of the country. Where private companies have already launched their 5G networks, now BSNL is also entering the field with full force. The most important thing is that BSNL’s 5G has been designed keeping in mind the common people, so that whether it is a village or a town, everyone can take advantage of high-speed internet.
Big success of 5G trial
BSNL has conducted successful 5G trials on advanced spectrum bands like 3.6 GHz and 700 MHz. This means that the company is technically ready and very soon this service will be started for the general public. This trial is a big step towards fast internet service in India and it shows that now digital facilities will reach not only metros but also small towns and villages.
Why is BSNL’s 5G needed?
In today’s time when Jio, Airtel and other private companies have made their recharge plans very expensive, BSNL’s cheap services are like a sigh of relief for the common people. While private companies focus on urban areas, BSNL’s focus is on villages, towns and those places where facilities like 4G and 5G have not reached yet.
For example, if a farmer wants to see the market prices online or a student wants to take online coaching while living in a village, then BSNL’s 5G will be able to give them the facility which was available only in big cities till date.
BSNL’s role in the country’s digital journey
BSNL’s 5G network will strengthen campaigns like “Digital India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat”. This is not just a telecom project, but it is a concrete step towards India’s technological self-reliance.
Technology made in India
BSNL has used completely indigenous technology in its 5G trials in collaboration with C-DOT (Centre for Development of Telematics) and domestic manufacturers. This means that India will no longer be dependent on foreign countries for 5G technology, and our own network is being built with the resources of our own country.
Big change for villages
BSNL’s 5G network will not only help in running the internet on mobile, but will also help in advancing many government schemes, such as:
- E-governance: People living in villages will now be able to get information about government schemes online.
- E-health: Sick people do not need to go to the city hospital, they will be able to get medical advice online.
- Online education: Students will be able to take online classes, which will bring education to the villages.
Network planning and preparation
BSNL has set a target of installing 1 lakh 4G sites by mid-2025. Many of these sites will be converted to 5G later. Currently, the company has installed about 39,000 4G towers across the country, which has created a strong base.
Standalone and non-standalone technology
BSNL’s 5G network supports both modes – standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA). The advantage of this is that it will work easily even with the old 4G technology and will be completely transformed into 5G in future.
Special 700 MHz spectrum – signal will reach far away
700 MHz is a spectrum that can easily send signals across walls and gives long distance coverage. Currently, this band was being used only by Reliance Jio because it is very expensive. But now BSNL also has this facility, due to which its network will give excellent coverage even in areas like villages, mountains and forests.
Launch date – When will BSNL’s 5G come?
According to reports, BSNL’s 5G service can be started around Makar Sankranti 2025. First of all, those areas will be selected where BSNL’s 4G service is already available. This will eliminate the need to install new towers and the company will be able to save both time and cost.
Low price, better service – BSNL’s strategy
When other companies are making recharges expensive, BSNL has said that it will not increase the price of plans right now. Consumers will get direct benefit from this and they will be attracted towards BSNL.
The effect of this strategy has also started showing. The company is getting new customers in recent months, who want to avoid expensive plans and are looking for cheaper service.
Full support from the government
Since BSNL is a government company, it has many advantages:
- Long-term planning: No immediate pressure of profit
- Financial assistance: Government helps for big projects
- Focus on villages: BSNL provides service where private companies do not see profit
Economic development and employment opportunities
BSNL’s 5G network will give a big benefit to the country’s economy:
- Employment to thousands of people: like network engineers, technicians, optical fiber workers
- Benefit to local companies: Because more and more things will be made in India itself
- Digital platform for small traders: Now you will be able to do e-commerce or digital marketing even while living in the village
What challenges can BSNL face?
Every plan comes with some challenges. For BSNL, these are:
- Brand image: People still consider BSNL as “slow” and “old”. It will be necessary to change this thinking.
- Competition from private companies: Jio and Airtel are already strong in the market.
- Supply chain and quality control: It will not be easy to provide consistent service on such a large scale.
But with government support, indigenous technology and the right strategy, BSNL can overcome all these challenges.
New Technology – Quantum 5G FWA
BSNL will launch Quantum 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) service in Hyderabad on 18 June 2025 Soft launched. This technology will provide broadband to every home in areas where laying fiber cables is difficult.
More uses of 5G
- Internet of Things (IoT): Smart home, smart meters and sensor devices
- Smart city: Traffic control, smart lights, public safety
- AI and machine learning: The network will be able to improve its performance on its own
Conclusion – BSNL will become the backbone of Digital India
BSNL’s 5G is not just a service, but it is the foundation of India’s digital future. Villages, cities, small traders, students, farmers – this network will bring something new for everyone.
If BSNL works according to its plans, it will connect even the remote areas of the country to the digital mainstream. And this will be the real Digital India – for everyone, with everyone.
