BSNL has introduced an unprecedented advancement in the Indian telecom industry with its new D2D (Direct-to-Device) service. The service allows users to make calls without the need for a SIM card or mobile network, connecting devices directly via satellite. With this, BSNL is ready to pose a big challenge to industry giants like Mukesh Ambani's Jio and Sunil Mittal's Airtel. Take a deeper look at this revolutionary service:

Why is D2D technology special?

D2D service can be invaluable during natural disasters or emergencies when traditional networks fail, as it helps people stay connected even when regular networks are unavailable. This initiative of BSNL is an important step in advancing India's capabilities in satellite technology.

How does D2D service work?

BSNL has partnered with Viasat for this service. With a basic Android smartphone, users can call others up to 36,000 kilometers away via satellite technology, providing an alternative method of connectivity beyond traditional mobile networks.

Future of satellite connectivity in India
Apart from BSNL, other telecom companies like Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea are also working on satellite connectivity services. Global companies like Elon Musk's Starlink and Amazon are also exploring the possibility of entering the Indian market. Additionally, the government is in the process of allocating the required spectrum for satellite connectivity, which will allow these companies to officially launch their services once the allocation is complete.

A game-changer for the telecom industry
D2D service could revolutionize the Indian telecom sector by providing more reliable connectivity to users and potentially establish India as a global leader in satellite technology.
