Deadlock in BSNL’s 4G launching – BSNLEU writes to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Minister of Communications..

BSNLEU has written a letter to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon’ble Minister of Communications, regarding the deadlock that has arisen in BSNL’s 4G launching. In the letter written yesterday, BSNLEU has pointed out that TCS has still not completed the Proof of Concept (PoC). It means, TCS has not proved that it is having the requisite technology for supplying 4G equipments to BSNL. Further, the purchase order placed by BSNL on 31st March, 2022, for purchasing 6,000 BTSs has not also been approved by TCS. BSNLEU has also pointed out that BSNL can launch it’s 4G service expeditiously in the South and West Zones, by way of upgradation of the BTSs, which can be done by Nokia.
