Precisely 3 months after its nationwide announcement and launch, BSNL is all set to commercially launch its much awaited Penta tab. This was declared at the telecom consultative committee meeting by G C Pandey, Senior General Manager, BSNL-Indore. The tab which could not reach consumers due to insufficient stock will now be launched on June 15, 2012 in Indore.

Apart from the tab BSNL is all geared up to introduce services like FTTH (Fibre to the home) and WiMax for its customers in the near future. Also 40 new towers for 2g and five for 3G would be set up as a part of developmental activities by the service provider.

Available in 3 versions the BSNL Penta is pegged to give stiff competition to Governments’ own little baby Aakash Ubislate 7.
