As India races into a digital future, 5G will assume a critical role in not only enabling enhanced and specialized applications of increasingly modern communications technology, but also, for the first time, provide new types of socio-economic benefits in many industry verticals. Not only does the technology offer the means to connect users to a high-performance network, it also enables use cases that offer greater and unprecedented value.
While the advent of the public internet offered connected users a revolutionary way to exchange information, it was in a largely static form. It was, however, a significant departure from the technology of the day and ushered in an unimaginable era of innovation and progress across sectors and economies. With ever increasing demand and potential of video services, 5G is poised to usher in a similarly significant evolution from 4G. Its ability to carry large amounts of traffic make it an ideal vehicle for the distribution of video-based applications and services for the growing urban appetite as well as for the accelerated adoption of communications services in rural areas.
The real time features of the technology enable industrial use cases that enhance networks’ ability to address challenges faced by businesses around the world. It is perhaps for this reason that conversations about industrial 5G tend to evolve into discussions about industry 4.0.
