Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a new logo that, according to the telco, embodies trust, strength, and its extensive reach across India. This new identity expected to give a push for the telecom operator as it prepares for the nationwide rollout of its 4G services, paving the way for its ambitious 5G vision.
According to an official statement, BSNL aims to complete its 4G rollout by 2025, after which it plans to launch its 5G network within six to eight months. With competitors like Airtel, Jio, and Vi recently raising their prices, BSNL has seen a surge in subscribers drawn to its competitive, budget-friendly plans. The company expects introduction of 5G will further enhance connectivity options across the nation, particularly in underserved areas.
What are the new offerings?
In conjunction with its logo launch and vision for 5G, BSNL has introduced seven new initiatives aimed at improving connectivity and enhancing customer experience. The Spam-Blocking Solution is designed to eliminate unwanted spam and scam communications in real-time, providing users with a more secure communication environment. Wi-Fi Roaming enables BSNL customers to connect to any BSNL Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) Wi-Fi network while traveling, facilitating easier internet access.
Intranet TV allows FTTH users to access over 500 premium TV channels through BSNL’s fibre-based live TV service. To simplify obtaining new SIM cards, BSNL has launched Any Time SIM (ATS) kiosks that automatically dispense SIM cards, complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, and activate the cards.
The company also introduced Satellite-to-Device Connectivity, which allows users to send SMS messages from any location—land, air, or sea—using satellite technology. The Disaster Management Network Service is designed to improve communication during emergencies, ensuring that essential services remain operational.
Lastly, BSNL plans to implement a Secure 5G Network for Mining, tailored specifically for the mining sector to enhance communication in this critical industry
