“The rapidly changing dynamics of the Indian telecom industry are an open invitation for global giants looking for an untapped market with huge potential. NCR T&T’s key business expertise lies in deploying, maintaining and managing large telecom infrastructures. They have the capacity to manage and support complex networks across a variety of industries including retail, financial, hospitability, traditional office environments, manufacturing facilities, public sector and oil and gas,” said Sophia Williams, Vice President & General Manager, NCR Telecom and Technology (T&T).

“The ever changing technology landscape – including key IOT, Cloud, Big Data and Mobile Device trends – combined with globalization have created a critical requirement for access to information and communications across today’s enterprise environments,” she said.

“This has increased the need among Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Technology OEMs to ensure comprehensive, globally consistent technology services in order to support their enterprise customers.

“NCR is closely working with its customers who are at the forefront of fulfilling the Government’s ambitious goal of connecting Gram Panchayats with fiber as part of the Prime Minister’s 'Digital India' initiative. It includes Wi-Fi networks for Colleges and Universities in the State Government’s 'connected campus' initiative, multiple Wi-Fi networks across the country, in addition to maintaining 'Smart City' networks for India's premier tourist cities,” according to her.

“Mobile and internet usage are not limited to the city; brands are aggressively looking at rural India to drive sales. Penetration of smartphones and easy access to the internet have opened a huge untapped market. Mobile banking transactions are on the rise due to increased smartphone adoption. In addition, the digital payments ecosystem is growing by leaps and bounds in India. This is largely possible as India is transitioning to a digital economy,” she added.
