Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) on Tuesday (October 22, 2024) launched a slew of new offerings and initiatives, ranging from spam blockers to automated SIM kiosks and direct-to-device services, as the State-owned firm vowed to proactively woo subscribers and claw back market share.
Sporting a brand new logo, BSNL also introduced low latency 5G connectivity for mining operations in partnership with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), leveraging Made-in-India equipment and its technological expertise.
In all, 7 new services of the telco were launched by Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
Meanwhile, sources said that the telecom corporation is shifting to a higher gear to grab market share, with a game plan that includes the commercial launch of 4G services in the coming months.
The state-owned telco is also giving shape to asset monetisation plans, with an innovative multi-pronged approach that may include identifying land for 'data warehousing' and using the last leg as a Mobile Edge Computing, sources said.
The telecom firm, which currently trails private sector counterparts in market share, will come out by next week with a 5G NAAS tender for Delhi and Mumbai.
This will enable a 5G high-speed network on a hotspot basis, and it will offer true 5G. The financing model for BSNL will be based on 'Network-as-a-service'.
