It will co-market the product along with telecom service provider state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL).

BSNL partnered Soma to deploy WiMAX service in the three lucrative circles of Gujarat, Maharashtra (including Goa) and Andhra Pradesh. However, the company has been mired in controversy ever since this exclusive contract with BSNL since the deal was done without floating expressions of interest (EOIs).

In February this year, Soma and BSNL had launched their WiMAX services in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and has acquired around 1,000 customers in the enterprise segment.
