BSNL Names Its 5G Service as Q-5G, Launches Quantum 5G FWA in Select Circles
BSNL Introduces Q-5G: India’s New Homegrown 5G Network
In a strategic move toward digital empowerment and self-reliance, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has officially named its 5G service as Q-5G, with the 'Q' standing for Quantum. Accompanying this announcement is the launch of Quantum 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), aimed initially at enterprise users and gradually expanding to home consumers.
This rollout marks BSNL’s re-entry into the forefront of India's telecommunications landscape, challenging private sector giants like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel.
What is Q-5G and Why Does It Matter?
The naming of BSNL’s 5G as Q-5G came through a crowd-sourcing initiative launched by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT)...
“You named it. We made it happen. Introducing THE BSNL Q‑5G – Quantum 5G.”
