Summary:
Dismissing rumours about the state-owned operator's closure, heads of both Calcutta Telephones that looks after the Kolkata circle and the West Bengal telecom circle said deployment of 4G equipment is progressing at a rapid pace. "We have started deploying 4G equipment actively. "We have launched 4G in Sikkim and will be able to roll out the same across West Bengal in the next two months after the allocation of 4G spectrum by the government," BSNL West Bengal circle CGM Ramakant Sharma said. Paul maintained that the testing had been carried out outside the city and the installation of 4G equipment would be "laid aggressively after the allotment of the spectrum". BSNL's Bengal circle will be covered by 2,000 BTS under 4G, of which 1,200 BTS is ready, Sharma said, adding that work was under way to erect the remaining stations..
