CommScope, an American network infrastructure provider, has played a significant role in India’s technological landscape. With India projected to have around 900 million internet users by 2025 and the upcoming rollout of 5G, there is anticipated significant growth in data consumption. CommScope, which established its presence in India 24 years ago, employs over 6,000 individuals across eight cities in the country.

In line with India’s digital transformation and “Made in India” initiative, CommScope has opened an R&D facility in Chennai. Through collaboration with IIT Madras, the center focuses on driving wireless technology innovation and fostering advanced wireless and networking technologies with young engineering talents.

The telecom sector in Asia plays a crucial role in shaping the next generation of communication technology and building future broadband networks. The post-pandemic economic recovery heavily relies on digitalization for long-term growth. To achieve this, the sector must focus on enhancing current network capabilities, driving innovation, and bridging the digital divide. Collaboration between network providers and government agencies is vital for achieving universal broadband access and digital inclusion.

While advancements in 5G capabilities continue and preparations for 6G are underway, sustainability and creating a greener future are also focal points. Telcos are working towards developing efficient, energy-saving infrastructure to support the broader economy’s shift towards net zero emissions.

Regarding the ROI for 5G networks, the implementation of 5G standalone (SA) capabilities is essential to fully unlock the advantages of 5G technology. While NSA 5G allows for the addition of a 5G network on existing 4G infrastructure, SA 5G offers more capabilities, including support for latency-sensitive and highly reliable IoT services. The aim is to maximize current infrastructure usage while minimizing power consumption.

In terms of challenges and opportunities, emerging technologies like AI, cloud services, IoT, and edge computing are driving the demand for better access to latency-sensitive data. AI-enabled network automation is crucial for network optimization and management in the increasingly complex networks driven by 5G standards. Industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics can benefit from AI applications in terms of efficiency, reliability, scalability, and agility.
