Author(s): Dr. Mohr Imtiyaj

Abstract:

In order to resuscitate BSNL, one of the Government of India's Telecom PSUs in India, the Government of India devised and implemented revival strategies for 2022 and 2019 that are detailed in this paper. Due to the current state of BSNL, wired services are provided through Telecom Infra Providers (TIP) on a location-based revenue-sharing basis, 4G mobile services are not being introduced, the core network is not being upgraded, maintenance of the outdated underground copper cable network is being outsourced, etc. The intense competition that currently exists in the Indian telecom mobile business makes it difficult for mobile operators to upgrade technologies and reach the last mile. Private mobile telecommunications are in the last stages of introducing 5G mobile service in India. This service will offer high-speed internet up to 100 Mpbs, which will be used for a variety of commercial, industrial, and research applications. Currently, the majority of applications only relied on wired connection, but with high-speed data access provisioning, implementation, and integration of new technologies like M2M communication, IoT, AI, and Black chain technology, Cloud Computing application projects may be implemented entirely. Power sector operation and using smart metering applications for HT & LT services, monitoring of power distribution system through SCADA projects, water distribution system SCADA project, and smart city application in which monitoring from the centralised DASH board of all the smart poles, smart signalling, smart bus stations, and the terminals, using SONAR, RADAD, GPS applications in the monitoring of fishing activities, and smart agriculture using DASH are some of the projects.
