Many mobile phone users in India face connectivity issues while traveling in the underground corridors of metros in Indian cities. However, this is soon going to change, at least for mobile users travelling in the Lucknow, Kanpur, and Agra Metro. State-owned telecom operator BSNL has strengthened its network connectivity in the underground corridors of Lucknow, Kanpur, and Agra Metro. The telecom provider has partnered with ACES India to provide uninterrupted 4G mobile network coverage to travellers within the underground sections of Lucknow, Kanpur, and Agra Metro. Under a new partnership, ACES India has created and installed an in-building solution (IBS) system to improve mobile network coverage in the underground metro stations and tunnels.
Recently, the companies demonstrated the technology, successfully showing that passengers can now enjoy strong mobile signals and smooth data services while traveling underground.
The information was also shared by the Department of Telecommunications via an X post. "Today, BSNL signed an MoU with Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) to utilize UPMRC's In-Building Solution (IBS) infrastructure available at underground metro stations and along tunnel corridors in the Lucknow, Kanpur, and Agra Metro networks, as well as in all upcoming projects. This collaboration will strengthen BSNL's mobile connectivity by providing network coverage at UPMRC stations and tunnels, thereby significantly enhancing the quality of experience for BSNL customers. BSNL is the first operator to achieve this milestone.," BSNL said in its post.
Based in Telangana, ACES India is a provider of telecom and digital infrastructure solutions. The company specializes in designing, deploying, and managing connectivity systems to ensure seamless communication.
