Indicating that 5G will bring a huge number of advantages, Dr. Rishi Bhatnagar, President, Aeris Communication, said that the company is waiting for India to launch its 5G so that it can create synergies with industry players and the government to develop more use cases centered around the internet of things (IoT). He also talked about the company’s IoT journey and how 5G will complement the IoT ecosystem.

Dr. Bhatnagar talked about multiple 5G use cases which were not yet possible. He listed some examples such as autonomous cars. While autonomous cars are some way off, he said, the autonomous tractors for agritech applications can be a reality soon. He also mentioned remote surgery as another example of a use case with high demands from the network.

Talking about the impact on the industry and specifically on Aeris, he said, “For us, it becomes more and more important to come out with new solutions. 5G will allow the company to get into a variety of market sectors.”

He added that 5G-based IoT use cases will definitely improve the overall customer experience. “The high capacity and low latency will make a lot of new use cases possible.” Dr. Rishi also said that Aeris was working with various testing facilities and institutes in India to test the new products and solutions that it will develop. He said that Aeris is already working in the same vein in the US, and will continue the same in India.

Touching upon the market and trends Dr. Bhatnagar said that Aeris saw India as a great opportunity, and the government policy favors the companies to develop 5G-fueled digitization. He also announced the company’s new product, Claerity AI, an artificial intelligence- (AI) based solution. The product was later launched at the Voice&Data 5G Conference.
