With a projected 350 BTS, the government-run telecom operator will provide 4G in Jamshedpur. BSNL has reportedly successfully finished the construction of the 4G tower at "Jhanti Jarna," which was inaugurated by Bidyut Baran Mahato, member of parliament to the 16th Lok Sabha from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. . With the casting of tower foundations, the enterprise is advancing quickly; 70 foundations have already been built, as per reports.

BSNL in Jamshedpur intends to replace the existing 241 sites with the new 4G stations. 34 new 4G sites will be incorporated into the network in the future. With these 4G sites, BSNL will offer users domestic 4G. In both new and old locations, BSNL will bring out 4G. The business has already begun laying the optical fibre for the new sites. The government is using BSNL to supply connectivity services for the 4G saturation project, which is still under construction.

Last week, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) became the first telecom provider to set up a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in Ladakh’s Siachen Glacier. Ashwini Vaishnaw, India's government telecom minister, has previously declared that BSNL will begin mass-deploying 4G beginning around the forthcoming Diwali festival. By the beginning of 2025, BSNL should offer 4G throughout the entire nation.

Due to the low rate of return, private telcos are unable to invest in all rural areas. However, BSNL has already stated that it will provide 4G in rural and village areas of the nation without high-speed broadband connection.

BSNL is in charge of ensuring connectivity in every remote location as part of the government’s 4G saturation plan. The Union Cabinet approved a project in 2022 to provide 4G mobile connections to all of the country’s disconnected villages.
