BSNL has officially launched its Quantum 5G (Q-5G) service in Hyderabad, stepping into the high-speed internet race against private players like Jio and Airtel.
The basic plan costs ₹999 and offers 100 Mbps speed.
The premium plan is priced at ₹1,499 with speeds of 300 Mbps.
The highlight is that no SIM card or wiring is required to use this service.
What Is BSNL Q-5G FWA?
The Quantum 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) is designed for Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where fiber internet availability is still low.
BSNL’s goal is to bring fast and reliable connectivity to homes, offices, and small businesses in such regions.
Key Features of Q-5G FWA:
Technology fully developed in India
Devices manufactured locally
Plug-and-play setup without SIM or cables
Expansion Plans: Next Cities
After Hyderabad, BSNL plans to soft-launch Q-5G in:
Bengaluru
Visakhapatnam
Pune
Chandigarh
Gwalior
These cities, especially suburban and rural areas, are expected to benefit due to BSNL’s strong last-mile reach.
How It Works Without SIM or Wiring
Q-5G uses special indoor routers that directly connect to BSNL’s 5G towers. This removes the need for:
SIM cards
Fiber cables
Technician visits or complex installation
Users simply plug in the router and start using high-speed internet within minutes.
Why Q-5G Matters
BSNL’s Q-5G has the potential to be a game-changer for India’s digital inclusion, especially in areas where fiber is not available.
It can benefit:
Remote offices and small businesses
Home users in small towns
Educational institutions
Government offices
With its affordable pricing and easy setup, Q-5G could play a big role in bridging India’s digital connectivity gap.
