What is BSNL’s Q-5G FWA service?
BSNL’s new Q-5G FWA service is said to offer services in tier-2 and tier-3 cities where optical fibre cables are not accessible. The network operator’s newest service is designed to deliver high-speed internet to businesses, offices and residential areas where the network is patchy or absent.
However, unlike normal 5G services offered by Airtel, Jio and Vodafone Idea, BSNL’s Q-5G FWA does not support voice calls. This means users won’t be able to make calls. It will be similar to Airtel Xstream Fiber and Jio AirFiber, which offer fast internet connectivity without SIM or wires.
Notably, BSNL will install Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) on the customer’s rooftop and deliver 5G connectivity using a router.
