Coming soon: Video chats on your BSNL landline

Soon, you can do video calls, chats/conferencing on your old BSNL land phone connection, a feature which will be facilitated after C-DoT upgrades BSNL's existing telecom infrastructure to the Next Generation Network (NGN) -- a process which has started & expected to complete within a year and a half.

ET talked to AKV Sai Jayram, Group Leader, C-DoT, whose team has been working on this cutting edge technology for a couple of years.

C-DoT has also developed a broadband wireless terminal which can provide broadband speeds faster than 3G networks with very low capital and operational expenditure.
