Spectrum allocation is the key | Pradeep Bhardwarj |Syniverse

First thing I would say is to plan it properly and plan long term.Spectrum allocation is very key. I think it’s important to identify the spectrum allocation very early in the cycle and then plan for the long term. So, I think India has a lot to gain from the target architecture. The standalone 5G architecture. So, whilst India may choose to deploy with the non-stand alone but it should to plan ahead for the target architecture of standalone, that is where the real benefits for India would come from. I think I was talking about it only on 5G is the first technology generation that goes beyond the communications and mobile industry. It actually enables a lot of these different market verticals, be automotive companies, be it the healthcare sector, be industry 4.0 and so on. So so 5G will become actually the glue, gel for all these different enterprise sectors by enabling them to do a lot more, by enabling them to do all these things much more efficiently, by increasing the size and the capacity and the throughput and whatnot. But the most important thing for many of these sectors is is the latency, low latency, and very high bandwidth. And 5G can deliver all all of that at a very, very big scale. And when you’re are talking about billions and billions of Iot devices around the world. And obviously in a country huge country like India, channel partnership strategy becomes very, very important because there is no way any of these players can reach out on their own to meet the needs of all these different devices and sensors and whatnot in different market sectors. So, it’s important to have channel partners and that can deliver you to the outreach that delivers you with the right kind of connectivity that different players would bring. System integrators would play a huge role because if you see the different kind of challenges that 5G presents in terms of the technology complexity, securities is another space. Connectivity is eminent domain billing and charging for all these different solutions. That is another area that has been I think system integrators can deliver a lot of value in meeting the specific needs of far different breed of devices, different breed of services and applications in the 5G context. If you see our automotive sector, for example, their needs could be dramatically different from the needs of our manufacturing industry 4.0 or smart factories of the future. So ours, so from people like mobile operators will be very difficult to meet these specific needs and that is where our system integrators can come in and deliver the games.
