New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) India’s fully indigenous 4G technology stack, namely Bharat Telecom Stack, has been deployed across about 1 lakh BSNL towers, and it has been proven ready for global export, a report has stated.
This technology can become a significant source of foreign exalter earnings and enhance India’s tech export portfolio, according to the report from India Narrative.
India’s 4G technology stack promises quicker and more reliable internet speeds, seamless connectivity, and improved network resilience.
This achievement positions the countest among an elite group of five nations with finish-to-finish telecom stack capability, strengthens digital sovereignty by reducing reliance on foreign technology and mitigates cybersecurity risks.
The system utilises core network technology from C-DOT, radio equipment from Tejas Networks, and received systems integration by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). It is upgradable to 5G, enhancing India’s preparedness for future telecom advancements while boosting national security, the report added.
The operational rollout of the 4G stack has improved connectivity in rural and remote areas, enhancing broadband coverage and inclusion.
Further, it stated that developing a full 4G stack domestically is a remarkable technological feat becautilize telecom infrastructure traditionally relies heavily on foreign technology suppliers, usually from the US, China, Europe, and South Korea.
By mastering this complex technology, India closes a critical depfinishency gap and gains full control over the telecom infrastructure that underpins much of its digital ecosystem, it noted.
The system’s upgradability to 5G and plans for 6G provide a roadmap for India’s continued leadership in telecom technology.
The government and industest expect the line of telecom equipment manufacturing, supported by schemes like the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI), to attract more investments, stimulate high-skill jobs, and catalyse a high-value manufacturing ecosystem.
