BSNL group seeks Centre’s approval for upgrading 3G sites to 4G

NEW DELHI: The All Unions and Association of BSNL (AUAB) has sought the Centre’s intervention for directing the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to approve the state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)’s proposal for upgrading 3G sites to 4G sites for launching 4G services and stressed that this is the only decision that can revive the telco.

To recall, the Management Committee of BSNL Board had approved the management’s proposal on July 1, 2021, to upgrade the existing equipment or about 18,500 BTSs supplied by Finnish telecom gear maker Nokia at a cost of Rs 550 crores.
