BSNL 5G Service Launched In India And It Works Without A SIM: Know More
Last Updated:
BSNL 5G launch in India has been mooted for a long time but the operator is finally ready to service customers with the high-speed network.
BSNL 5G has launched in India thanks to the new Quantum 5G Fixed Wireless Access service network that works without a SIM or a mobile device. The operator claims the 5G FWA internet will offer a high-speed internet network without the hassle of cables and other standard equipment. BSNL 5G is only available in select circles for now, but it is good to see the company offer 5G at some level in the country.
The BSNL 5G FWA service is priced at Rs 999 per month which gives you 100 Mbps data speed. You can also consider going for the higher Rs 1,499 plan that promises data speeds up to 300 Mbps.
How BSNL Q-5G FWA Works
BSNL seems to be targeting the tier-ii and tier iii cities where the optical fibre network is limited and using the FWA 5G service allows the company to operate at a scale. The operator is relying on the Q-5G network to deliver high-speed networks to areas where the connection is unreliable, which makes businesses and homeowners struggle with high-speed internet connectivity.
So, how does the BSNL Q-5G internet service work? The operator will offer a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) on the roof of the subscribers home and make it work through a router to deliver 5G data speeds. You can get more details about the installation cost and other steps from the BSNL website.
Other than BSNL, we have Vodafone Idea (Vi) also entering the 5G arena in recent months. The operator has even launched its 5G services in the Delhi NCR region, along with Mumbai, Patna, Chandigarh and Bengaluru to name a few with more to be added in the coming months.
