TCS is all set to supply 4G equipments to BSNL – Management informs the AUAB.

The AUAB has been continuously fighting to ensure the 4G launching of BSNL. Government prohibited BSNL from procuring equipments from foreign vendors. Government also did not allow BSNL to upgrade it’s BTSs for providing 4G service. Now, the Management has informed that, TCS (Tata Consultancy Service) is all set to supply 4G equipments to BSNL. TCS has made tie-up with the C-DOT for the core equipment (switching equipment). TCS has also taken over a company called Tejas, which will manufacture the equipments. Management also informed that, equipments have been installed at Chandigarh and Ambala and continuous testings are going on. Further, we are informed that, the Hon’ble Minister of Communications is taking efforts for BSNL to get funds from the USO Fund, for rolling out the 4G service. It is needless to state that, the unity of the unions and associations under the banner of the AUAB and the continuous struggles of the employees of BSNL have paved way for all these developments. However, the AUAB will continue to monitor the situation. It will also make necessary interventions so as to ensure the early launching of BSNL’s 4G service.
