BSNL plans to launch 5G services in Delhi and select cities by September, following tests at new 4G sites as part of a nationwide tower deployment.
The company has activated 5G in state capitals like Jaipur, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and others, aiming for a phased 5G rollout post the operational success of the first 1 lakh towers.
BSNL aims to complete its 4G rollout by June 2025, with plans for a second phase involving another one lakh towers and upgrading to 5G capabilities.
Additionally, BSNL is testing 5G network infrastructure in key areas and deploying base transceiver stations in various cities, including a Network-as-a-Service model in Delhi.
