Blue Cloud Softech Partners with BSNL for 5G Services in Tamil Nadu

Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited has announced its empanelment as a partner for 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) in the Tamil Nadu Circle. This partnership enables Blue Cloud to provide Internet Leased Line (ILL) services to enterprises and other entities within the region. The empanelment is valid for a period of five years, subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the Expression of Interest (EOI) for empanelment.

The financial terms of the agreement specify a revenue-sharing model between Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited and BSNL. The revenue will be shared based on business volume, with a ratio of 70:30 in favor of Blue Cloud. This arrangement is structured to incentivize both parties to maximize service delivery and customer satisfaction within the Tamil Nadu Circle.

Operationally, Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited will be responsible for the design, supply, deployment, operation, and maintenance of the required 5G Radio Access Network (RAN), Edge CORE, radio access equipment, and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The company will also handle the installation and commissioning of the equipment, as well as actively promoting 5G FWA services to enterprise customers. BSNL will provide the necessary space, power, infrastructure at its towers, backhaul IP connectivity, spectrum, and ILL bandwidth. BSNL will also manage billing and customer payments, with services marketed under the BSNL brand.

The timeline for this partnership includes a five-year agreement period, with provisions for further extension based on mutual agreement. The initial phase of the project has already commenced, with preliminary trials conducted at the BSNL Mindi Exchange in Visakhapatnam showing positive results. These trials confirmed the stability and efficiency of the 5G NSA/SA architecture deployed over the mmWave and sub-6 GHz bands. Further trials are planned to validate extended coverage, latency measurement, and load-handling capabilities before the commercial launch.

The partnership involves Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited and BSNL, with each party having distinct roles and responsibilities. Blue Cloud will focus on the technical and operational aspects of the 5G infrastructure, while BSNL will leverage its existing infrastructure and customer base to facilitate service delivery. This collaboration aims to enhance connectivity services across Tamil Nadu, providing high-speed, reliable internet access to enterprises and other entities.

The market context for this partnership is significant, as the demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity continues to grow in India. The 5G Fixed Wireless Access market is projected to experience substantial growth, driven by increasing demand across urban and rural areas. This partnership positions Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited to capitalize on this growth by expanding its service portfolio and delivering advanced connectivity solutions tailored to the needs of enterprises and government bodies.
