Is India 5G ready? Your views.
The telecommunication industry has been taking quantum leaps in the past few years with new development and now it is taking us closer to make 5G technology a reality. India has unquestionably picked up the pace in developing the underlying infrastructure for 5G with Government support, however, I believe currently it is at an emerging stage but it will soon make inroads into our daily lives.
What are your opinion about Data Protection Bill?
Today, data is the most critical asset that’s playing a key role in the advancement of our economy. I believe that the Data Protection Bill captures all major concerns and discussions around data privacy, however, two key things- ‘individual’s right to privacy’ and ‘the ease of doing businesses’ should be given more attention in order to maintain balance in the economy.
What future ready solutions is DIGISOL planning to roll out for Smart City in India?
We believe that Fiber is the Future, as it has become an integral part of the smart city infrastructure. If you look at the functioning of Smart Cities, then you will observe that it works on interconnected technologies that can communicate, transfer and analyze data. That’s the reason the High Speed Fiber is at heart of the smart city as it transfers the tremendous volumes of data to cloud-based systems and will turn numbers into actions. Understanding the demand of the Smart cities, DIGISOL will introduce products under structured cabling and Fiber Optics that will further transform traditional cities to smart cities.
What challenges have you faced while operating in the country? How did you mitigate them?
To be honest, we haven’t been facing any major challenges while operating in the country, rather we have unlocked many opportunities with government’s support. Introduction of initiatives like ‘Digital India’, ‘Make in India’, ‘Smart Cities project’ etc. have opened doors to many exciting projects for DIGISOL.
How do you gauge the Digital India initiative by the Government of India? Your role onto it.
The Digital India initiative by the government aspires to transform India into a digitally empowered country. The core strength of DIGISOL is ‘networking’ which is an integral part of making digitally connected India a reality. At DIGISOL, our objective has been to develop solutions that would address the evolving needs of Digital India.
