PM Modi’s big gift from Odisha, BSNL 4G launched, will it be able to compete with Jio-Aartel 5G?:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Today is going to be a historic day for Odisha! Prime Minister Narendra Modi will start 4G services of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) from Odisha today. This is a big step, especially for those rural and remote areas, where the reach of fast internet was limited till now. However, with this launch, the question also arises as to how this 4G service of BSNL will stand in front of Jio and Airtel’s rapidly growing 5G network, and will it be able to play its role in the growing steps towards 6G of India? Let’s take a look at these questions.

BSNL 4G starts: New chapter of connectivity

The launch of BSNL’s 4G services is a major achievement as it is based on indigenous technology. This means that India has developed its own 4G technology, which is a big milestone in the direction of ‘self -sufficient India’. Initially, after launch in Odisha, it will be slowly started in other parts of the country, which will provide better and cheap internet service to crores of people.

How will BSNL 4G challenge 5G?

While on the one hand, Jio and Airtel are expanding 5G services in big cities of the country, BSNL is currently coming to 4G. In such a situation, the question is that it will be able to survive in the competition?

1. Focus on rural access: The main strength of BSNL has always been reaching its rural and semi-urban areas. There are still many areas where the network of private telecom operators has not been fully developed. BSNL will target these areas through its 4G services, where there is a huge demand for fast internet.
2. Cost -Effective Options: BSNL usually has its plans economical. By providing services at competitive prices with good speed of 4G, it can pull a large customer class towards itself.
3. Government support: Being a government undertaking, BSNL will get necessary support from the government, which will help it to strengthen its infrastructure.

India is moving from 5G to 6G, so what is the work of 4G?

India is rapidly rolling out 5G and discussions on 6G technology have also started. In such a situation, what is the future of 4G services?

• Foundational Roll: Even though 5G is coming, but 4G is still the mainstay of internet connectivity for most Indian users. It will take time to reach 5G to every corner in a huge country. Till then 4G will serve as a strong and reliable network.
• Technology upgrade: The 4G technology of BSNL can be gradually upgraded to 5G. This will provide a solid foundation for 5G rollouts, especially in areas where it will take more time and cost to erect 5G infrastructure.
• Connectivity for everyone: The dream of ‘Digital India’ will not be fulfilled until every citizen of the country gets internet facility. The 4G service of BSNL will play an important role in achieving this target, so that no one will leave behind before reaching 6G.

This step of Prime Minister Modi will not only promote digital connectivity, but it will also highlight India’s indigenous technical capabilities. It will be interesting to see what changes Indian telecom markets bring in the coming times.
