After that, telecom operators were asked by the government to use only devices from local companies. BSNL has already partnered with TCS, Tejas Networks, and C-DoT (Center for Development of Telematics) for Rs. 200 crore POC has worked to test indigenous 4G technology.
State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) on April 22 launched 4G services in pilot mode in parts of Punjab as part of the formal rollout of 4G services. The company has started live testing of its 4G services with 135 tower sites using an indigenous telecom stack.

TCS will be responsible for end-to-end execution of the project including installation, configuration and maintenance of network equipment and systems required for 4G network rollout.
This strategic collaboration between TCS and BSNL aims to enhance the connectivity and communication capabilities of BSNL's services across the country. The introduction of 4G technology is expected to significantly improve network speed, data transfer rate and overall user experience for BSNL customers.
