Nokia and state-led telco Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Friday partnered to accelerate the development of a 5G ecosystem in India.
With this partnership, Nokia will help the transition of BSNL through Nokia's 5G FIRST end-to-end 5G solution, including its AirScale radio access portfolio and AirFrame datacenter platform to demonstrate 5G capabilities.
"This joint initiative will go a long way to help us meet the future data demands in a most cost-effective way," Anupam Shrivastava, CMD of BSNL, said.
BSNL will leverage Nokia’s 5G-ready product portfolio to develop use for both enterprise and retail customers while Nokia will help BSNL in spectrum assessment and in optimisation of the same to deliver 5G.
The companies will also utilise technologies such as SDN (software defined networking), Multi-access Edge Computing and cloud to help BSNL evolve and leverage the opportunities of the programmable world, an official statement said.
"We will leverage our global experience in 5G-related industry projects and collaborations to enable BSNL to evolve their networks for the programmable world," Sanjay Malik, head of India Market, Nokia, said.
The move comes after Samsung partnered with Reliance Jio this week to bring 5G connectivity in India. On Thursday, Bharti Airtel and Nokia announced plans to reach the network evolution to 5G services.
