BSNL 4G SIMs to be Avialable From ATM Like Machines, 5G Network to Launch Next Year

These vending machines will be installed at busy places like railway stations and airports. This will make it easier for BSNL to increase the number of its customers. These SIM vending machines will be especially helpful for those people who do not want to go to BSNL offices or exchanges. BSNL has also planned to stop spam calls on its mobile network. To deal with spam calls, it will use solutions related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has also started taking strict action regarding spam calls. Recently, telecom companies had disconnected more than 2.75 lakh mobile connections to curb unregistered telemarketers. Along with this, many firms were also blacklisted.

BSNL has also prepared to enter the low price mobile segment. The company has partnered with Karbonn Mobiles to introduce an exclusive SIM handset bundling offer. These handsets will compete with Jio Bharat 4G feature phones. With this, users will not need to buy expensive smartphones to use the company’s 4G services.

Along with this, BSNL has also started testing 5G network. The company aims to launch one lakh 4G sites by the end of the current financial year. 5G networks of big private telecom companies like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are present in large parts of the country. The central government plans to bring BSNL into profit soon. BSNL’s 5G network is being tested in collaboration with the Center for Development of Telecommunications (C-DoT). C-DoT itself has provided the network core for 4G. This core can also be used for 5G. However, this will require some upgrades.
