The strategy of placing new towers in deeper and less-serviced areas remains BSNL's biggest bet in its plan to actively compete in the 4G subscriber space, they _ added.
“We have undertaken detailed studies _ of unserviced and underserviced areas nationwide. There are still large chunks of the map that are yet to get reliable 4G support. BSNL will fill those gaps,” a senior official said.
BSNL is bringing 4G services years after the three private telecom service providers Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea rolled it out.
BSNL has been instructed by the department of telecommunications(DoT) to quickly roll out 4G services nationwide and gain users. This is to shake off its image of a lagging government service, multiple officials added. Despite the ongoing 5G race, telcos continue to expand in the 4G segment. For instance, Jio has approximately 532,000 4G LTE network base stations and claims to cover more than 95 per cent of India’s population.
