BSNL indigenous 5G rollout and network expansion

Overview

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is preparing to roll out indigenous 5G services in India following the expansion of its 4G network. To support this transition, the company is implementing several technological and infrastructure upgrades.

Key initiatives include the enhancement of ‘Vani’, an automated interface that allows subscribers to resolve connectivity issues using voice conversations in regional languages. BSNL also plans to launch the ‘Bharat Sandesh’ platform to facilitate communication between citizens and government departments.

On the technical side, BSNL has partnered with Saptang Labs to utilize AI and machine learning for network security and intends to collaborate with Fujitsu Japan to develop an All-Photonics Network using existing dark fibre infrastructure. These developments occur amid projections that Indian mobile network traffic will grow at an annual rate of approximately 17 percent between 2025 and 2030.
