Delhi to get BSNL 5G services first

BSNL aims to launch 5G services in Delhi, beginning with key areas like Minto Road, Chanakyapuri, and Connaught Place. The launch is anticipated around Makar Sankranti next year, and the company is inviting OEMs to partner in delivering high-speed 5G connectivity.

The 5G network, powered by a 3.5 GHz mid-band frequency, promises smooth, lag-free connectivity at affordable prices, making it a valuable addition for BSNL users.

Strategic partnerships to support 5G network

To expedite the deployment, BSNL has partnered with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and ITI Limited, with an investment of approximately Rs 19,000 crore.
