NEW DELHI: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) is set to introduce a 4G and 5G compatible over-the-air (OTA) and Universal SIM (USIM) platform. This platform developed in collaboration with Pyro Holdings will allow subscribers to select their mobile numbers and replace SIMs without any geographical limitations.
The state run telco said that it was launched in Chandigarh with a disaster recovery site located in Trichy.
“The new 4G and 5G compatible platform is designed to serve all BSNL customers across the country, offering unparalleled connectivity and service quality,” BSNL said on Friday.
BSNL is currently in the process of gradually deploying its 4G network throughout the nation.
“The introduction of this platform coincides with BSNL’s ongoing network upgrades to 4G and 5G, positioning the company at the forefront of telecommunications innovation. This milestone represents a significant step in BSNL’s efforts to bridge the digital divide and empower citizens in rural and remote areas, ensuring equitable access to advanced telecommunications services,” said BSNL in a statement.
The over-the-air (OTA) and Universal SIM (USIM) platform offers BSNL mobile subscribers the ability to select mobile numbers on the go and enables SIM replacement without geographical restrictions.
“This platform will be immensely useful for customers seeking SIM replacement without geographical restrictions, aiding in modification of SIM profile and remote file management on SIM cards. Moreover, it enables SIM swaps to be performed anywhere in the country,” said BSNL chairman and managing director Ravi A Robert Jerard.
Earlier this month, Union telecom minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced that BSNL plans to install 80,000 towers for 4G services by the end of October, with the remaining 21,000 to be installed by March 2025. The company has already launched 4G services in select locations, including Punjab, using indigenously developed network equipment.
