What’s amazing about the telecom sector? It is a data top-spot or a sector in a diverse market? No, it is its ability to be a catalyst for every other sector. That matters a lot; especially during, and after, a pandemic year.
“The current telecom landscape shows India as the biggest data consumption region in the world. That is remarkable given the spectrum constraints, some stress tests, demand-bandwidth flux during the pandemic and other challenges,” Vikram Tiwathia, Deputy Director General, COAI said. The resilience of this sector has helped the country substantially, he underlined.
Speaking at the technology session on 5G Enterprise: The next frontier for Business at the 20th edition of Telecom Leadership Forum organized by Voice&Data, Tiwathia set the tone of the discussion with these thoughts before moving on to the spotlight on 5G. He urged the panel to mull over some hot questions about 5G. Will it cut costs down? Will it facilitate enterprises towards their goals?
The panel at this topic’s discussion fleshed these questions out well. Rohit Kaw, Director – Systems Engineering, Global Service Provider, Cisco Systems dissected the role of the telcos. “During the last year everyone understood the importance of seamless connectivity and ‘physical to digital’ shifts. With some use-cases around automation and Edge, the future is exciting. India’s new leap of business growth and global competitiveness is only possible by leveraging 5G with use-cases that can unlock the fourth industrial revolution in India.”
