What makes Quantum 5G FWA special?

SIM-less design: Through BSNL's Direct-to-Device technology, this service provides auto-authentication without physical SIM. This is India's first production-level SIM-less 5G service.

Fully indigenous technology: BSNL's entire network stack from core to RAN and CPE has been developed in India under the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' mission.

Fast speed: During testing in Ameerpet, the download speed of 980 Mbps and upload speed of 140 Mbps were recorded, that too with less than 10 milliseconds of latency. It is ideal for 4K streaming, cloud gaming and remote work.

Fast and easy installation: Installation is possible without laying fiber through a plug-and-play gateway. The service can be extended to 85% of Hyderabad's homes through BSNL's existing tower network.

The company has not yet given details about the calling and data plans available with these two plans. BSNL's 5G standalone core network will provide SLA-supported, network-sliced connectivity for MSMEs and smart industrial clusters. This indigenous 5G FWA initiative will help in promoting digital connectivity in rural and remote areas.
