专家称2023年将是一个改变游戏规则BSNL和4 g将所需的动力。尽管有些警告说,使用没有经验的供应商为其4 g发射可能是一个问题。
第一个土著4 g网络
BSNL已经进行了概念证明(PoC) Tata-Tejas-C-DoT财团在2100 MHz频段。这将是第一个土著4 g网络。公司给了一个订单在3月6000个站点。计划给订单一个50000网站。4 g网站最初将部署在高收入潜力地区基础设施是4 g功能,其次是pan-India推广。
4 g, BSNL计划安装约1.12全国十万的塔使它成功。随着4 g, 5 g技术的发展在平行,并将在几个月内做好准备。这个计划是8月15日宣布启动。
推出4 g发射被推迟了几乎两年事业单位面临许多障碍。
BSNL一直落后于同行,因为延迟网络扩张和为生存而挣扎在一个激烈竞争的市场。国家的顶级球员依赖Jio2016年9月开始了4 g服务提供免费语音通话和廉价数据关税。自那以后,印度移动用户已经欣然接受了私人球员和4 g数据消费国家大怒。
私人电信运营商包括Jio, Bharti Airtel和沃达丰的想法已经在4 g和BSNL很难匹配强度。专家持谨慎态度。
“BSNL不会有一个明显的优势超过其竞争对手。事实上,使用没有经验的供应商可能是个问题。BSNL我看不到一个主要转变的总体市场份额,除了州,被认为是已经做好如喀拉拉邦或J&K马赫什•Uppal电信分析师说。
尽管处境艰难的事业单位有一个巨大的优势。BSNL的4 g网络将升级至第五代或5 g non-standalone (NSA)到2022年年底,和5 g独立(SA)在2023年从CDoT核心网络。

4 g - BSNL的收入来源?
专家说4 g肯定会帮助BSNL创造额外收入。
RK博、前顾问、电信部说,4 g服务将帮助BSNL提高其收入。“BSNL 4 g的市场份额应该在2023年底20%左右。财团的解决方案将进一步支持迁移到5克,甚至可能有一个25%的市场份额在5克到2024 - 25所示。他们会给竞争推动其他服务提供者。然而,服务质量和竞争力的价格将获得市场份额的关键。”
CMD, PK Purwar BSNL在最近的一次采访中说:“尽管没有4 g, BSNL持续没有失去多少收入和客户。相当数量的用户将被添加一旦我们推出4 g服务。我们预计收入将增加15 - 20%。”
BSNL预计价值40000卢比的自主开发4 g部署网站和满足此前计划货币化债务责任土地资产价值约Rs 20000卢比,然而,到目前为止还没有成为现实。
其总债务负债高达近Rs 30000卢比,和电信目前会议运营费用,因为它使息税前利润(利息、税项、折旧和摊销)2020年积极。
2019年10月,政府已经批准了一项救援计划BSNL和MTNL大约价值70000卢比,包括自愿退休计划(工具),资产货币化和第四代分配或4 g无线电波,和这两家公司之间的合并。虽然合并延迟由于经济上的原因,包括MTNL的高额债务。
Uppal还说BSNL的新的4 g数据服务可以显著提高其收入。
“会有农村和城市的4 g跨位置的网站来测试网络的鲁棒性。我们已经在实验室环境中测试,现在想要网络在生活条件,并考虑到在这种情况下。这样,我们将能够从多个用户得到反馈,Purwar说。
它将钢索BSNL一边推动印度技术符合政府的愿景Atmanirbhar巴拉特但同时承担商业风险,根据前BSNL官员。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: From a Navratna to a sick PSU, that\u2019s how state run telecom player BSNL<\/a>\u2019s financial health has deteriorated over the years. But things may look up with the launch of its much delayed 4G services.The struggling PSU has pinned its hopes on 4G launch this year to put itself back on revival path. Though, it comes at a time when private players are gearing up to launch next generation technology 5G.
Experts say 2023 will be a game changing year for BSNL and 4G will bring in much required impetus. Though some warn that using inexperienced vendors for its 4G launch could be a problem.
<\/div><\/div>BSNL's financial position has been deteriorating for a long time. It was incorporated in 2000 out of DoT and was once the second biggest mobile player, with a profit of Rs 10,000 crore around 2005 but is now reeling under losses.
First indigenous 4G network
<\/strong>
BSNL has conducted a proof of concept (PoC) with the Tata-Tejas-C-DoT consortium on 2100 MHz spectrum. This will be the first indigenous 4G network. The company has given an order of 6,000 sites in March. It plans to give an order for another 50,000 sites. 4G sites will be deployed initially at high revenue potential areas where infrastructure is 4G-ready, followed by a pan-India rollout.
For 4G, BSNL plans to install about 1.12 lakh towers across the country to make it a success. Along with 4G, the development of 5G technology is going on in parallel and will be ready in a few months. The plan is to announce the launch on August 15.
The 4G launch rollout has been delayed by almost two years as the PSU faced many hurdles.
BSNL has been lagging behind its peers because of delays in network expansion and is struggling to survive in an intense competitive market. Country\u2019s top player Reliance Jio<\/a> had first started its 4G service in September 2016 with free voice calls and dirt cheap data tariffs. Since then, Indian mobile users have lapped up 4G from private players and data consumption in the country has hit the roof.

Since then, Indian mobile users have lapped up 4G from private players and data consumption in the country has hit the roof.
<\/div><\/div>Due to non availability of 4G services, BSNL has already lost huge market share to private telecom operators over the last few years. As per the latest subscriber data by telecom regulator Trai, BSNL and MTNL held a market share of only 10.24% while private telcos held 89.76% share at the end of January 2022.
Private telecom operators including Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have already taken a lead in 4G and it would be difficult for BSNL to match the intensity. Experts are wary.
\u201cBSNL will not have an obvious advantage over its rivals. Indeed, using inexperienced vendors could be a problem. I do not see a major shift in BSNL's overall market share, except in states where it is believed to be already doing well e.g., Kerala or J&K,\u201d Mahesh Uppal, a telecom analyst, said.
Though the struggling PSU has one big advantage. BSNL's 4G network will be upgradable to fifth generation or 5G non-standalone (NSA) by end of 2022, and 5G stand alone (SA) by 2023 with core network from CDoT.

4G - a revenue generator for BSNL?
<\/strong>
Experts say 4G would definitely help BSNL in generating additional revenues.
RK Bhatnagar, former advisor, department of telecommunications said 4G services will help BSNL in improving its revenues. \u201cBSNL market share for 4G should be around 20 per cent by the end of 2023. Consortium solutions will further support migration to 5G and may even have a 25 per cent market share in 5G by 2024-25. They will give a competitive push to other service providers. However, quality of service and competitive prices will be crucial for gaining the market share.\u201d
PK Purwar, CMD, BSNL in a recent interview said \u201cDespite no 4G, BSNL has sustained without losing much revenue and customers. A significant number of subscribers will be added once we launch 4G services. We expect revenue to increase by 15-20%.\u201d
BSNL expects to Rs 40,000-crore to deploy indigenously-developed 4G sites and meet debt liability It had earlier planned to monetise land assets worth about Rs 20,000 crores which, however, has not materialised so far.
Its total debt liabilities stands at nearly Rs 30,000 crores, and the telco is currently meeting operating expenses since it has turned EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) positive in 2020.
In October 2019, the government had approved a rescue plan for BSNL and MTNL for about Rs 70,000-crore that included a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), monetisation of assets and allocation of fourth generation or 4G airwaves, and a merger between the two companies. Though the merger has been deferred due to financial reasons, including the high debt of MTNL.
Uppal also said BSNL's new 4G data services could however significantly improve its revenues going forward.
\u201cThere will be a mix of rural and urban 4G sites to test the network robustness across locations. We have already tested in a lab environment and now want the network to go in live conditions, and have given the order in that context. With this, we will be able to get feedback from multiple users, Purwar said.
It will be a tightrope for BSNL which on one side is promoting Indian technology in line with the government\u2019s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat but at the same time taking a business risk, according to a former BSNL official.

4G - a revenue generator for BSNL?
<\/strong>
Experts say 4G would definitely help BSNL in generating additional revenues.
RK Bhatnagar, former advisor, department of telecommunications said 4G services will help BSNL in improving its revenues. \u201cBSNL market share for 4G should be around 20 per cent by the end of 2023. Consortium solutions will further support migration to 5G and may even have a 25 per cent market share in 5G by 2024-25. They will give a competitive push to other service providers. However, quality of service and competitive prices will be crucial for gaining the market share.\u201d
PK Purwar, CMD, BSNL in a recent interview said \u201cDespite no 4G, BSNL has sustained without losing much revenue and customers. A significant number of subscribers will be added once we launch 4G services. We expect revenue to increase by 15-20%.\u201d
BSNL expects to Rs 40,000-crore to deploy indigenously-developed 4G sites and meet debt liability It had earlier planned to monetise land assets worth about Rs 20,000 crores which, however, has not materialised so far.
Its total debt liabilities stands at nearly Rs 30,000 crores, and the telco is currently meeting operating expenses since it has turned EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) positive in 2020.
In October 2019, the government had approved a rescue plan for BSNL and MTNL for about Rs 70,000-crore that included a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), monetisation of assets and allocation of fourth generation or 4G airwaves, and a merger between the two companies. Though the merger has been deferred due to financial reasons, including the high debt of MTNL.
Uppal also said BSNL's new 4G data services could however significantly improve its revenues going forward.
\u201cThere will be a mix of rural and urban 4G sites to test the network robustness across locations. We have already tested in a lab environment and now want the network to go in live conditions, and have given the order in that context. With this, we will be able to get feedback from multiple users, Purwar said.
It will be a tightrope for BSNL which on one side is promoting Indian technology in line with the government\u2019s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat but at the same time taking a business risk, according to a former BSNL official.

4G - a revenue generator for BSNL?
<\/strong>
Experts say 4G would definitely help BSNL in generating additional revenues.
RK Bhatnagar, former advisor, department of telecommunications said 4G services will help BSNL in improving its revenues. \u201cBSNL market share for 4G should be around 20 per cent by the end of 2023. Consortium solutions will further support migration to 5G and may even have a 25 per cent market share in 5G by 2024-25. They will give a competitive push to other service providers. However, quality of service and competitive prices will be crucial for gaining the market share.\u201d
PK Purwar, CMD, BSNL in a recent interview said \u201cDespite no 4G, BSNL has sustained without losing much revenue and customers. A significant number of subscribers will be added once we launch 4G services. We expect revenue to increase by 15-20%.\u201d
BSNL expects to Rs 40,000-crore to deploy indigenously-developed 4G sites and meet debt liability It had earlier planned to monetise land assets worth about Rs 20,000 crores which, however, has not materialised so far.
Its total debt liabilities stands at nearly Rs 30,000 crores, and the telco is currently meeting operating expenses since it has turned EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) positive in 2020.
In October 2019, the government had approved a rescue plan for BSNL and MTNL for about Rs 70,000-crore that included a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), monetisation of assets and allocation of fourth generation or 4G airwaves, and a merger between the two companies. Though the merger has been deferred due to financial reasons, including the high debt of MTNL.
Uppal also said BSNL's new 4G data services could however significantly improve its revenues going forward.
\u201cThere will be a mix of rural and urban 4G sites to test the network robustness across locations. We have already tested in a lab environment and now want the network to go in live conditions, and have given the order in that context. With this, we will be able to get feedback from multiple users, Purwar said.
It will be a tightrope for BSNL which on one side is promoting Indian technology in line with the government\u2019s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat but at the same time taking a business risk, according to a former BSNL official.

4G - a revenue generator for BSNL?
<\/strong>
Experts say 4G would definitely help BSNL in generating additional revenues.
RK Bhatnagar, former advisor, department of telecommunications said 4G services will help BSNL in improving its revenues. \u201cBSNL market share for 4G should be around 20 per cent by the end of 2023. Consortium solutions will further support migration to 5G and may even have a 25 per cent market share in 5G by 2024-25. They will give a competitive push to other service providers. However, quality of service and competitive prices will be crucial for gaining the market share.\u201d
PK Purwar, CMD, BSNL in a recent interview said \u201cDespite no 4G, BSNL has sustained without losing much revenue and customers. A significant number of subscribers will be added once we launch 4G services. We expect revenue to increase by 15-20%.\u201d
BSNL expects to Rs 40,000-crore to deploy indigenously-developed 4G sites and meet debt liability It had earlier planned to monetise land assets worth about Rs 20,000 crores which, however, has not materialised so far.
Its total debt liabilities stands at nearly Rs 30,000 crores, and the telco is currently meeting operating expenses since it has turned EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) positive in 2020.
In October 2019, the government had approved a rescue plan for BSNL and MTNL for about Rs 70,000-crore that included a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS), monetisation of assets and allocation of fourth generation or 4G airwaves, and a merger between the two companies. Though the merger has been deferred due to financial reasons, including the high debt of MTNL.
Uppal also said BSNL's new 4G data services could however significantly improve its revenues going forward.
\u201cThere will be a mix of rural and urban 4G sites to test the network robustness across locations. We have already tested in a lab environment and now want the network to go in live conditions, and have given the order in that context. With this, we will be able to get feedback from multiple users, Purwar said.
It will be a tightrope for BSNL which on one side is promoting Indian technology in line with the government\u2019s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat but at the same time taking a business risk, according to a former BSNL official.
