Building the 5G Ecosystem Worldwide

Sukanta Dey, Strategic Advisor and Group COO, Informo Global and former Emerging Business President, Tata Teleservices, del ivered the introductory keynote titled Building the 5G ecosystem worldwide. He said that the number of mobile users and their demand for data is rising exponentially. Hence, 5G is the answer, as it must handle far more traffic at much higher speeds than the base stations that make up today’s cellular networks. With 5G, users should be able to download a HD film in under a second (a task that could take 10 minutes on 4G LTE).

5G networks will drive the development of new technologies in the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0, such as autonomous vehicles, virtual reality and IoT, robotics, etc.
