New Delhi [India], October 28 (ANI): Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited Chairman and Managing Director Pravin Kumar Purwar on Saturday said that BSNL will adopt 5G technologies by next year in June.
Speaking to ANI at the India Mobile Congress event in Delhi, Pravin Kumar Purwar said,” We are behind in 4G. For 5G, we are planning to adopt it in June 2024. We are not much behind, as the adoption of 5G is still at the very initial stage in the country. I think 2028-2030 will be the year when the 6G will be coming in the commercial market and BSNL will take the steps in a manner by which it should be at par with any other operator in the country.”
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the 7th edition of the India Mobile Congress 2023 at Bharat Mandapam.
Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday lauded the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, emphasising his commitment to democratising technology.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always democratized technology. He has developed technology in such a way that it reaches everyone. Today, be it Digital India, the telecom sector, the payment system, or the health system, everything has the same vision of the Prime Minister. More than 50 countries have participated in the India Mobile Congress. Today, India is among the top three 5G ecosystems in the world,” Vaishnaw said.
India Mobile Congress (IMC) is the largest telecom, media, and technology forum in Asia which is being held from October 27-29.
The theme of the event is ‘Global Digital Innovation’.
The IMC 2023 aims to strengthen India’s position as a developer, manufacturer, and exporter of key cutting-edge technologies. During the program, the Prime Minister awarded 100 ‘5G Use Case Labs’ to educational institutions across the country. (ANI)
