Blue Cloud Softech Solutions announced the successful completion and formal sign-off of the 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Proof of Concept (POC) project with Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) at the MINDI Exchange in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
In collaboration with Orange Business Services, BCSSL has pioneered an enterprise-grade deployment of BSNL's 5G FWA by implementing a first-of-its kind Broadband Network Gateway (BNG)-based subscriber management framework, moving beyond traditional tunnel-centric approaches such as GRE, to deliver an advanced and scalable solution at designated test locations.
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, making the solution fully aligned 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 scalability, reliability, and operational readiness for commercial rollout.
This innovative deployment positions BCSSL and Orange at the forefront of enterprise 5G FWA innovation in India, establishing a robust, standards compliant foundation for BSNL's next generation broadband services and setting a benchmark for future nationwide deployments.
The POC, executed in collaboration with BSNL, validated the deployment of 5G access network, core, radio, and customer premises equipment (CPE) under real-world field conditions. All planned test cases including throughput, latency, jitter, session setup, and connection stability were successfully executed and met the expected key performance indicators (KPIs).
The solution demonstrated seamless interoperability between QuadGen RAN, HPE Core, and BSNL's transport, BNG, and AAA systems, confirming readiness for scalable 5G FWA deployment. The project was supervised and validated by BSNL technical teams, who have formally signed off on the completion of the POC.
