BSNL accelerates 4G rollout, working on 5G expansion Users can check nearby BSNL towers via government portal Delhi gets a 4G soft launch through partner network State-owned telecom operator BSNL has stepped up efforts to expand its 4G services across India, while also preparing for the launch of 5G in the near future. With rising demand for affordable plans, especially after tariff hikes by private operators, BSNL is positioning itself as a strong alternative for mobile users. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia had earlier confirmed that the government has set up a performance monitoring unit to oversee the progress of BSNL’s 4G and 5G rollout. The company has also confirmed that it is using indigenous technology to provide these services nationwide. However, before switching to a BSNL SIM, it is crucial for users to check whether their area has adequate BSNL tower coverage. Mobile phones rely on low-power radio signals that must connect to the nearest base station, or tower, to ensure stable calls and uninterrupted data services. Poor tower availability often results in weak signals and dropped calls.
