Nokia and state-run
telco Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will team up to accelerate the
development of a 5G ecosystem in India. With this partnership, Nokia will
help the transaction of BSNL through its 5G end-to-end solution, including
its AirScale radio access portfolio and AirFrame data centre platform for
extreme broadband and ultra-reliability and low-latency communication.
“This
joint initiative will go a long way to help us meet the future data demands in
a most cost-effective way,” said Anupam Shrivastava, CMD of BSNL.
BSNL
will leverage Nokia’s 5G-ready product portfolio and expertise to develop use
cases for both enterprise and retail customers. Nokia will further help BSNL in
spectrum assessment and in optimization of the same to deliver on the promise
of 5G.
The
combination of high speed and low latency in 5G raises a host of possibilities,
such as remote healthcare, virtual reality, augmented reality, connected cars,
and full automation of homes and businesses, among others.
“We
will leverage our global experience in 5G-related industry projects and
collaborations to enable BSNL to evolve their networks for the programmable
world,” Sanjay Malik, head of India Market, Nokia, said in a statement.
The
development comes after Samsung partnered
with Reliance Jio to bring 5G connectivity in India. Earlier this week, Bharti
Airtel and Nokia announced a strategic roadmap for rolling out 5G services in
the country.
