Ride the 5G Wave, The Next-Gen Wireless Tech

Establishing prevalent communication among people and devices

Considering the new generation of mobile connectivity, the fifth generation of wireless cellular connection, better known as 5G, is a compendium of technologies that will offer fast speed, reduced latency, and reliable connections on smartphones and other mobile devices.

5G is the fifth generation of cellular network wireless technology, which together with other network innovations will give us much faster and more stable wireless networking, as well as the ability to connect more and more devices and enabling varied streams of data. Networking technology is the main pillar of our smarter and connected world. Increased coverage and bandwidth make way for more possibilities from email to web browsing, location-enabled services and real-time video streaming.

5G will empower not just greater speeds but will also be able to connect far more devices within a geographical area.

It is anticipated that by 2025, 1.5 billion users will adapt to 5G network.

The market opportunity here is immense and we are at the forefront. We are focusing on ensuring that the current applications of today are future-ready once the necessary infrastructure is in place.

What We Do

The Current Scenario

Businesses across the world still face challenges like the spectrum needs to be opened up for different countries. For now, only large players like Ericsson, Nokia, NTT and operators like Verizon, AT&T, etc. have implemented this technology. South Korea is the first country in the world to have adapted 5G network to its full potential. The cost of upgrade is still very high for telecom operators.

Our Approach

We create business models and value proposition models to help our customers decide the viability of 5G adaption and provide services for architectural and platform innovation that needs to be done to allow full utilisation of the 5G network. We focus highly on the operational complexities that need to be worked out.

Futuristic Initiatives

Moving into the future, the network deployment parameters and training the technical teams on the 5G network will become key for us as network layout design, software architecture design and customer experience will almost need to merge and provide a stronger combined and effective offering.

Industry Use Cases

Automotive

We have enabled collection of huge amounts of data in terabytes from different parts of the moving car, making the car a communication device using 5G. Our Mixed Reality solution that makes use of Google Lens has been successful in creating blow-ups of a vehicle.

We have done a POC wherein car mechanics can use Google Glass to look at the vehicle and focus on a specific area of the vehicle to instantly transmit the details of the parts and figure out ways to fix or replace the problem. This was possible because our architecture supported 5G and led to real-time response with less latency. Close co-operations are being worked out in Europe with large and small OEMs to see the adaptability of the 5G network.

Healthcare

5G will connect care providers and patients better than ever. With the help of wearable devices, doctors and healthcare providers will be alerted when a patient is in need of support or experiencing symptoms.

With 5G, we have seamlessly connected hospital beds and diagnostic instruments with IoT devices to transmit patient and their health parameters in real-time across the cloud.

The 5G technology simplifies the implementation of hi-speed, high-resolution video conferencing facility, that will allow even remote surgeries, and medical transcription using Google Glass, remotely in the future.

Home Automation

Our solutions have helped in building smart homes by coordinating between different technologies including 5G, cloud, security, AI, edge computing, and eSIM for connecting devices. 5G enables automation of the entire homes in a city so that there is a common data availability, control, and surveillance system, which allows a fluid and omnichannel experience in today’s hyper-connected world.

The several benefits of our 5G solutions are more energy-efficient and secure homes, which will drive a self-sustaining living experience as per the current pandemic situation. The home automation market is expected to be approximately around 40 billion USD in the next 3 years.

Entertainment

With our 5G solutions, we have achieved video streaming at high speeds- almost 20-100x higher speed than 4G, which enables downloading of movies in seconds. Set top boxes and the current mode of entertainment will be a thing of the past and personalised hi-definition video quality will allow an almost immersive experience. We have been working with devices like Microsoft Holo lens to work on mixed reality experiences.

Retail

5G for retail will be highly focussed on customer experiences. The retail stores of tomorrow will let customers add items to a virtual cart rather than shopping with a physical one. There will be cashierless stores that will track what the customers put in their cart, replacing the traditional checkout lines. 5G will also enable managing stocking and inventory in real-time.

Manufacturing

Technologies like 5G, AI and IoT will totally transform factory floors. Manufacturers can apply sensor technology and AI with the connectivity boost of 5G to streamline and transform traditional processes. Connected manufacturing will go beyond predictive maintenance to help minimize downtime and control costs, while significantly improving the precision of industrial processes.

5G in 2020 & Beyond– What Should we Expect?

The dawn of 5G networks is not far away. The most recent estimates point to 2020 as the year that fully standardized 5G networks will start to hit the market and deliver unprecedented levels of connectivity, but we should start to see their usage from 2018 at events such as the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. It’s an exciting prospect for a variety of reasons. 5G will follow a ‘network-of-networks’ approach, enabling the convergence of fixed and wireless networks to bring together an evolution of mobile broadband services, ultra-reliable critical communications services and the fruition of large scale IoT projects.

Industry Digitization will be Top Opportunity for 5G

Industry digitization will generate an estimated $700 billion market opportunity for service providers by 2030, equivalent to approximately 35 percent of current industry revenue, says Ericsson President and CEO, Borje Ekholm. Moreover, Ericsson found that 70 percent of enterprises are seeking to engage with a non-telecom service provider, while a third already consider communications service providers as an important partner in their digitization efforts.

Everything You Need to Know About 5G

5G was first brought to my attention through conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who stated on a podcast with Joe Rogan that “5G causes massive mutation and cancer” and with that 5G quickly became the internet’s new favourite conspiracy—but what exactly is 5G and who exactly is saying it could harm us? With 5G, we will be stepping fully into a new area of real-time response time online. We are moments away from being able to download HD movies in seconds, real-time communication in other languages and seamless lag-free gaming, but the benefits of 5G don’t stop there.
