New Delhi: Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Ltd. (BCSSL) (BSE: 539607), in collaboration with Orange Business Services, has announced the successful completion and formal sign-off of India’s first enterprise-grade BSNL 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Proof of Concept (POC) at the MINDI Exchange in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
This landmark deployment introduces a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG)-based subscriber management framework, moving beyond traditional GRE tunneling methods to deliver advanced scalability and reliability. The BNG-driven design enables carrier-grade subscriber authentication, dynamic IP address assignment, Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement, and seamless integration with BSNL’s billing and AAA systems, aligning the solution with large-scale ISP and enterprise broadband requirements.
Unlike GRE-based tunneling, which primarily encapsulates traffic for transport use cases, the BNG architecture provides native broadband session control and policy enforcement, ensuring operational readiness for commercial rollout.
Key Highlights
- Successful validation of 5G RAN, Core, and Integration test cases.
- Stable performance and compliant KPIs under BSNL supervision.
- Seamless interoperability between QuadGen RAN, HPE Core, BSNL transport, BNG, and AAA systems.
- Ready for commercial deployment and expansion to additional sites.
The POC validated the deployment of 5G access network, core, radio, and customer premises equipment (CPE) under real-world conditions. All planned test cases—including throughput, latency, jitter, session setup, and connection stability—were successfully executed, meeting expected KPIs.
BSNL technical teams supervised and validated the project, formally signing off on its completion. In their statement, BSNL confirmed: “All planned RAN, Core, and Integration test cases were executed successfully under the supervision of BSNL technical teams. The solution demonstrated stable performance, compliant KPIs, and successful 5G PDU session establishment with PPPoE billing workflow once the N6 interface was integrated with the BNG. As all test cases have been successfully executed and validated in the presence of BSNL, we request formal POC Sign-off and confirmation that the 5G FWA POC is completed.”
Sri Tejesh Kodali, Group Chairman of BCSSL, remarked: “Our successful partnership with BSNL and Orange Business Services marks a significant milestone in our journey to deliver next-generation connectivity solutions. The completion of this 5G FWA POC not only validates our technical capabilities but also sets the stage for commercial deployment and expansion across India. We remain committed to driving innovation and digital transformation for our customers and partners.”
With this milestone, BCSSL is now poised to move forward with commercial deployment, leveraging the learnings from the POC to deliver best-in-class 5G network experiences across India.
