New Delhi, October 3 (Udaipur Kiran News): Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), the state-run telecom operator, has soft launched its VoWi-Fi (Voice over Wi-Fi) services for customers in the west and south zone circles, marking another significant step in its network modernization efforts.
VoWi-Fi enables users to make voice calls using Wi-Fi networks, offering improved call quality and connectivity, especially in low network coverage areas. With this rollout, BSNL joins private telecom operators who have been offering Wi-Fi calling services for several years.
The announcement was made by A Robert J Ravi, Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of BSNL, during the Silver Jubilee celebrations, marking 25 years since the company’s incorporation. Alongside VoWi-Fi, BSNL also launched 4G as a service in Mumbai and nationwide eSIM support in partnership with Tata Communications.
To avail of BSNL’s eSIM, customers can contact customer care or visit the nearest BSNL branch.
Recently, BSNL has accelerated its service expansion, including:
Launch of 5G Standalone (SA) services at a mine in Kerala
Launch of Quantum 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in Hyderabad
Official PAN-India 4G rollout inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, covering over 98,000 sites
The company also plans to launch 5G in New Delhi and Mumbai by the end of 2025, as part of its strategy to compete with private telcos in mobile, 5G, and satellite communication (satcom) segments.
With these developments, BSNL is steadily transforming its service portfolio, focusing on digital innovation, customer convenience, and network modernization to re-establish its position in the competitive telecom sector.
