UTStarcom has bagged a Rs.300 crore
broadband contract from BSNL for the latter's expansion plans involving network
enhancement to support 1.1 million subscribers.
The proposed order is an extension of
a similar project it had implemented for BSNL which involved deploying solution
for broadband network that supported 1.3 million subscribers, during the first
phase of this project.
During this second phase, UTStarcom
will deploy its solution in 962 cities throughout India to enable the addition
of 1.1 million new broadband subscriber lines. The network expansion will help
BSNL accelerate its existing broadband connections on subscriber lines by more
than 30 times the current speed.
