Strategic Significance

This empanelment strengthens Blue Cloud’s role in India’s digital transformation, allowing it to integrate advanced 5G technologies and deliver high-speed ILL and smart connectivity solutions for enterprises, government projects, and smart cities.

The initiative also opens opportunities to expand into Edge Micro Data Centres, Air Fibre, AIoT (Industry 4.0), AI healthcare, and AI-driven analytics, creating scalable, energy-efficient, and secure connectivity platforms.

BSNL-AP has directed Blue Cloud to conduct Proof of Concept (PoC) trials at Mindi, Visakhapatnam, and Anakapalli to demonstrate its 5GFWA integration capabilities. These trials will begin in the first week of November 2025.

Market Outlook

According to reports by TRAI and Statista, India’s 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 35 per cent, with revenues expected to surpass USD 1.5 billion (Rs 12.5 billion) by 2027. The rapid adoption of 5G is being driven by industrial expansion, rural broadband, and smart city initiatives.

TRAI notes that 5GFWA can help bridge the connectivity gap in underserved regions, while Statista forecasts that over 30 million households in India will adopt 5G FWA by 2026.
