China will help BSNL get back! Why is the government company asking for Dragon’s help?
According to ET’s report, BSNL has sought help from Nokia and China’s ZTE. Both these companies are seeking help from BSNL in 2G and 3G network rollout. BSNL wants to take this partnership forward. BSNL is rolling out its 2G and 3G networks locally and is seeking partnership in 4G network rollout.
5G rollout
If we talk about 5G network rollout, then indigenous technology and hardware has been used in it. Along with this, there is also information about taking technical help from some American and British companies. However, China has been kept away from this.
Indigenous trial was successful
Let us tell you that the central brain of BSNL 4G network is indigenous, which has been developed by the Center for Development of Telematics i.e. C-DoT. The radio equipment has been supplied by Tata Group company Tejas, while the system integration is being done by Tata Consultancy Services i.e. TCS. The indigenous 4G core has already been successfully trialed by C-DoT. It has been tested on BSNL’s commercial network at Chandigarh and Ambala. Its regular core network can be ready by May and June 2024.
