BSNL unveils 'Quantum 5G FWA' in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, June 18 (UNI) Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) today announced the soft launch of BSNL Quantum 5G FWA, an indigenous, SIM-less fixed-wireless-access solution that delivers fibre-like speeds over 5G radio.
Addressing after inaugurating the service at BSNL’s Ameerpet Exchange here, A Robert J. Ravi, Chairman & Managing Director, BSNL/MTNL, said “:Quantum 5G FWA demonstrates how Indian engineers can create world-class connectivity. It is the first SIM-less, 100% home grown customised 5G FWA for BSNL.”
He said. “Hyderabad’s tech-savvy ecosystem makes it the perfect launch-pad for our next-generation access portfolio. Today is only a soft launch—many more cities and feature upgrades will follow.”
On the road-map after the soft launch, he said a pilot expansion will be in Bengaluru, Pondicherry, Visakhapatnam, Pune, Chandigarh and Gwalior, where it will go live by September 2025.
While referring to Tariff, he said the introductory plans 999 & 1499 per month with 100Mbps and 300Mbps speeds respectively.
The same 5G SA core will support network-sliced, SLA- backed links for MSMEs and smart-manufacturing clusters. This is a controlled (“soft”) launch intended for customer experience fine-tuning; nationwide commercial roll-out will follow after field feedback, he informed..
Parallelly, the BSNL also commissioned its first ‘Micro Data Centre’ on the Hyderabad campus—an edge facility that houses compute, storage and security in a single rack, the telecom said in a release here.
Leveraging BSNL’s vast fibre backbone, tower real estate and power-backed exchanges, each MDC offers secure compute, storage and networking at the edge, eliminating latency while keeping data local.
Whether a firm needs a single-rack edge pod in a remote plant or a city-scale hub inside a BSNL exchange, the network’s pan-India infrastructure makes true distributed cloud a reality.
D.M Ezhil Buddhan, Chief General Manager Broadband Networks and Ratna Kumar Chief General Manager ,Telangana Circle were also present on the occasion.
