Suppliers Tejas, C-DoT claim BSNL equipment meet TRAI standards

New Delhi: Tata Group-owned Tejas Networks and state-owned C-DoT have asserted that their equipment deployed at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) meets or exceeds quality-of-service benchmarks set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).

The companies were reacting to a BSNL submission to the telecom regulator regarding proposed new quality-of-service norms. BSNL had requested a relaxation or a phased compliance timeline, citing the “asymmetric obligation of indigenous (Make in India) sourcing”, a mandate not followed by other private telecom operators.
