In this exclusive interaction with Shubhendu Parth, he talks about how 5G, private networks, and cutting-edge network solutions are reshaping industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and urban infrastructure. He also highlights Verizon's strategic approach to enabling Industry 4.0 initiatives, the role of system integrators in enterprise connectivity, and the potential of IoT and edge computing in driving sustainable and scalable solutions for Indian enterprises. Excerpts: NaaS integrates diverse network infrastructures to empower businesses to scale operations efficiently and securely, making it valuable for enterprises navigating the cloud ecosystem.
How do you see 5G and private networks transforming manufacturing, logistics, and other industrial sectors in India? What role is Verizon playing in enabling this shift?
Industry 4.0 is revolutionising manufacturing, logistics, and other sectors by enabling automation, real-time data processing, and interconnected systems. Introducing 5G and private networks plays a pivotal role in this transformation. With 5G's high-speed, low-latency capabilities, businesses can achieve near-instantaneous communication between machines and systems, enhancing automation and reducing operational downtime. For sectors like manufacturing, this is particularly impactful, as it allows for predictive maintenance, faster data processing and real-time insights, better process control, and optimisation of resources. In logistics, private 5G networks help improve fleet management, supply chain tracking, and warehouse automation, ensuring efficiency and accuracy across operations.
