BSNL carries out massive upgrades of Lakshadweep Satellite Bandwidth

Thiruvananthapuram: State-owned telecom firm BSNL today launched high capacity satellite-based connectivity for Lakshadweep for providing broadband services under a Universal Service Obligation (USO) project funded by the Department of Telecommunications. Minister of State for Communication, Devusinh Chauhan, dedicated the project to the nation. On this occasion, he appreciated BSNL’s effort to complete this project of national importance despite Covid restrictions in the island, an official statement said here.

Lauding the Lakshadweep administration for extending all logistical support to BSNL proactively, Chauhan said without their active support, this project would not have been feasible to execute in such a short period. He further said this is only the beginning of a new era in the archipelago.
