New Delhi: Sistema Shyam Teleservices, a joint venture between Russia's Sistema and India's Shyam group, has entered into a 10-year deal with BSNL to share its telecom towers, executives in the company aware of the development said.
According to Economic Times, Sistema Shyam has also inked a deal with BSNL to share its bandwidth across all 22 circles in the country for five years. This is the fourth such deal for BSNL in the past three months - recently, the PSU had entered into similar contracts with Datacom, Aircel and Tata Teleservices.
Sistema Shyam, which is currently operating through 8,000 base stations, will now have access to around 45,000 BSNL towers across all its circles. The teleco has already signed similar tower-sharing deals with Tata-Quippo, Reliance Infratel (the tower arm of Reliance Communications) and Indus Towers.
