5G teleommunications technology is a game-changer for manufacturers

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) the world over are seeing a sharp decline in connectivity-based voice, data, and messaging service revenues.

We examine how COVID-19 impacts the 5G rollout and service offerings of Communications Service Providers, and the adoption of 5G across industry verticals.

The telecom industry is abuzz with talk of the much-anticipated revolution – 5G. The “5G is here” shout-out at the Mobile World Congress, 2019 has been very enthusiastic.

Until a few years ago, mobile networks traffic had a predictable demand pattern. Hence, planned node placements or capacity assignments with network processing software capabilities tied to the particular physical node worked reasonably well.

The long awaited factory of the future is here. Enabled by 5G that is providing stimulus to the Industry 4.0 agenda, these connected factories are smarter and more efficient than ever before.

5G is enabling the user-centric network with the concept of network slicing and composable networking. This has resulted in transition from “network aware application design” to “application-centric network provisioning”. But what needs to be ascertained how a network will compose and organize itself to deliver on the requirements which may contend for the same network resources with conflicting attributes.

Mobile communication providers are facing increasing competition from OTT players while simultaneously battling diminishing ARPU (average revenue per user).

The world is on edge and awaiting the rollout of 5G.

The telecommunications industry has constantly been disrupted by the introduction of new technologies. Communications Service Providers (CSP) have to continuously adapt to changes demanded by the introduction of newer technologies.

The 5G era: Age of boundless connectivity and intelligent automation

One of the most popular buzzwords right now in the technology space is 5G. Technology companies around the world have been making rapid strides in 5G mobile technology, promising it to be the next big revolution.

he excitement around 5G is palpable. As of May 2019, 20 mobile carriers had rolled out 5G networks across 294 global locations¹.

Warehouse operators can make the right connectivity choice between Wi-Fi 6 and 5G based on size, scale and availability

Milan Rao and KR Sanjiv share their takeaways from their interaction with customers and the ecosystem at #MWC19.

KR Sanjiv, Anita Ganti and Subhas Mondal discuss their experience at the Mobile World Congress 2019 on various use cases showcased at the event, how the entire ecosystem is coming together and innovating with 5G

Wipro's Communications and 5G leaders Vishwanathan Ramaswamy, Badrinath Kodandaram and Subhas Mondal presented various thought leadership sessions at MWC 2019. The key topics were "Run up to 5G", "Wipro HOLMES for Digital Networks", "OSS of the Future" and "5G enabling IoT". We captured a snapshot of these conversations along with the key highlights of the demo solutions at our booth.

At Digital Transformation World in Nice this May, we hear from Vinay Devadatta, Practice Head – Innovation & Industry Relations, Wipro, about the many facets of 5G challenges and solutions. Read some of his insights below before the big event.

Interview with Milan Rao, President – Marketing, Innovation & Technology and Global Head – Communications & Manufacturing Business Units at Wipro Limited

As 5G networks find their way into real deployments, there are number of opportunities in the industries to leverage the 5G capabilities. The software-based architecture (SBA), edge computing capabilities and network programmability will enable innovation in products & services and provide opportunities to reimagine experiences which 5G-enabled applications will offer. In this webinar, Subhas and Ganesh discussed how 5G architecture with edge computing will enable real-time processing of information to enable context-based hyper-personalization and thus transforming the industry applications.

Subhas Mondal, DMTS Distinguished Member and Chief Architect – 5G, Wipro Limited*, describes creating differentiated 5G experiences for their customers live from MWC 2019.

The need for service level agreements and consistent network performance on nextgeneration 5G services will make user experience analytics critical. Wipro leverages artificial intelligence and analytics deployed in a multi-access edge compute (MEC) cloud to interpret and react to changes in network conditions

Subhas Mondal, Chief Architect-5G at Wipro Limited, joins Intel® Chip Chat Network Insights to discuss reasons for their focus on the connection of 5G with Edge architecture.

5G is the fifth-generation of cellular technology that is generating new innovations to transform wireless communications.

5G brings the possibility to take these simple but important calls to a different plane all together with Virtual Reality (VR) capability through its unprecedented low latency and high bandwidth capabilities.
