Saurabh Tewari, Director & Chief Technology Officer (Telecom) - Dell Technologies, India

“As India prepares to launch 5G, Dell Technologies has several telecom software, solutions and service offerings to help Communications Service Providers (CSPs) accelerate their open, cloud-native network deployments and create new revenue opportunities at the edge. Dell Technologies provides the expertise and telecom solutions and services for CSPs to transform and modernize their operations and networks. Our global leadership in IT infrastructure, flexible consumption models and a secure global supply chain allows CSPs to scale efficiently and cost effectively.

Our Bare Metal Orchestration software offers customers the breadth and scale to automate deployment and management of large volumes of infrastructure across geographic locations to support ORAN and 5G deployments.

With the arrival of 5G technology, businesses across India will experience higher speeds and improved efficiency. If the organization has a digital-first approach, many of the manual tasks will transform into digital processes organically. The improved speed and lower latency would also enable more expansive AI, IoT, and edge computing technologies in organizations and accelerate their adoption in sectors like manufacturing, consumer electronics, transportation etc.

For India’s farming and food production community, precision agriculture can help create efficiencies like never before, through providing real-time, high-speed communications among sensors and devices, enhancing business and consumer experience and choice. We will be making headways in healthcare where IoT and AI will be leveraged to provide better services. 

However, these developments will create an environment where data needs to be stored, secured, and analysed in a protected space. Better data protection solutions cloud and data storage infrastructure will be an imperative need. Organizations will also be adopting As-a-Service models, and the technology companies should prepare to offer flexible, cost-effective solutions to the businesses.

No doubt, once implemented, 5G will become a turning point for businesses, providing the latency and speed to deliver previously impossible services and products. This will enable large-scale innovation that will transform society.”
