BSNL signs deal with Nokia Siemens
Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) has signed an agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) to expand its broadband coverage to 25,000 villages.
BSNL will deploy NSN’s multi-play solutions to offer high-speed Internet, virtual private networks (VPNs) and connectivity to community service centres (CSCs).
Kuldeep Goyal, chairman and managing director, BSNL, said: “BSNL is a pioneer in providing affordable, high-quality communications services to its customers, and this mega broadband expansion initiative is another step in that direction. Partnering with NSN would give BSNL an edge over other broadband services providers as it would be the first to cover rural areas on such a wide scale.”
