Government-owned telecom firm BSNL is likely to launch State-wide 4G network services in Tamil Nadu from April.
Nearly 80% of the 4G roll-out activities, including setting up of the core switch of the network at Tiruchi and physical installations have been completed as of January 12, 2024, and all of the work is expected to be finished by the end of March, said D. Thamizhmani, Chief General Manager of BSNL Tamil Nadu Circle, at a press meet held in Chennai on Friday.
In Tamil Nadu, BSNL 4G services are currently available in Tiruchi, Madurai, Salem, Coimbatore, and Nagercoil. Officials said all the 4G nodes have been designed for future upgrades to 5G, and the transition will be easier and quicker than the 3G to 4G update.
