BSNL has been continuously working on new technology, and recently, it has partnered with Viasat. The company has also given the green light to D2D (Device-to-Device) technology, which allows users to make audio and video calls without the need for a SIM card or traditional network. This new technology can be used on both Android and iOS smartphones, as well as smart devices and smartwatches.
It offers connectivity even in remote areas, and notably, users won’t have to deal with network outages. Viasat claims that D2D is a revolutionary technology because it allows direct connectivity between mobile phones, smartwatches, and cars with satellite networks. With this technology, both personal devices and gadgets can be easily connected, regardless of location. The coverage is impressive, and communication quality is enhanced.
Satellite networks have been a hot topic of discussion for some time, with companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX working rapidly in this space. Musk has his sights set on the Indian market, but BSNL is already preparing its own network, which will function similarly to satellite networks. The testing phase for this has been completed, and it has now received the go-ahead. Various companies are heavily focused on this technology, and Elon Musk’s entry into the Indian market could happen soon.
