A technical committee set up by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has advised Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) to use an Indian-made 4G core (nerve centre of a telecom network), rejecting the concerns raised over the same by the state-owned operator. The move is expected to give a huge boost to domestic telecom gear makers, such as Tejas Network, Tech Mahindra, C-Dot, VNL, and HFCL, among others.
At the same time, it could adversely impact global players like Ericsson, Nokia, ZTE, and others that have earlier supplied telecom gear to BSNL.
