Launches BSNL 4G network to link remote areas
IN A MAJOR boost to telecommunication infrastructure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated BSNL's 'Swadeshi' 4G stack, marking India's entry into a coveted league of nations that manufacture telecom equipment.
Modi, who launched the facility on the occasion of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited’s silver jubilee, also commissioned over 97,500 mobile 4G towers, including 92,600 4G technology sites of BSNL. These towers have been built at a cost of around ₹37,000 crore with ‘swadeshi’ (indigenous) technology, he said. Modi added the launch of the ‘Swadeshi’ 4G stack marked India’s entry into a league of nations including Denmark, Sweden, South Korea, and China, which manufacture homegrown telecom equipment.
