Context:
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has unveiled Quantum 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in a soft launch held at its Ameerpet Exchange in Hyderabad. This milestone marks India’s first indigenous, SIM-less 5G FWA service, designed to deliver fibre-like broadband speeds over wireless 5G networks without trenching or physical fibre installation.
Key Highlights of Quantum 5G FWA
Technological Firsts
- SIM-less Authentication: Powered by BSNL’s proprietary Direct-to-Device (D2D) platform, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. Customer premises equipment (CPE) self-authenticates automatically.
- Fully Indigenous Stack: Developed entirely by Indian vendors under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative—comprising core, RAN (radio access network), and CPE.
