Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited’s (BSNL) trial run for 4G is set to begin in four cities in Kerala by August, ahead of the State-wide launch in December.
The much-delayed 4G launch of the public sector telecom major is now being done in collaboration with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), after an earlier tender was scrapped following the Union government’s objections to the involvement of Chinese suppliers.
C.V. Vinod, Chief General Manager, BSNL, Kerala Circle, told The Hindu that the TCS will begin its trial run at Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Kozhikode and Kannur.
