According to Dr Rishi Bhatnagar, president, Aeris Communications, “For the first time, the government of India has allowed setting up a private network with 5G connectivity and this will enable enterprises to independently establish their own networks for machine-to-machine communication within a factory environment.”
“Within the factory, companies can create their own 5G networks and this will give a strong push to digital factories or future factories,” he said.
Dr Bhatnagar, who heads the Indian arm of the US-based IoT connectivity solutions company, further explained that more than humans, 5G is going to be relevant for machines, as it offers more accuracy, reliability as well as higher speeds to enable machines stationed in critical operations in manufacturing and healthcare industries to offer high-quality output.
“5G will be required when you have remote operations and the accuracy of connectivity is a must. So far, there have been various high-on-robotics automotive plants in India but they are more of a showcase,” he mentioned.
“With 5G and the ready availability of this connectivity technology, OEMs will now be able to create a private 5G network within their complex, utilise the low-latency machine communication technology and ensure quality standards that meet the norms of global markets,” Dr Bhatnagar said.
