The Next Wave of Network Innovation
As new and emerging technologies proliferate the industry, they must be supported by transformative network technologies that are resilient and provide a flexible foundation for innovations. 5G and Edge led network innovations are poised to cater to these evolving requirements. 5G will empower enterprises to create new experiences and services besides improving operational efficiency across organizations. This wireless technology will transform network capabilities, bringing in significant opportunities for network virtualization, AI and automation while considerably lowering associated costs and enhancing the delivery of network-based services, IT systems and applications. The telecom industry is driving digitalization and growth of various sectors creating new opportunities to build and extend their revenue streams.
System Integrators play a vital role in building and deploying this network ecosystem. Infosys, as an SI partner, has helped Telco’s and Enterprises to navigate this journey with cost-effective solutions powered by automation and supported with use cases. This webinar will be an excellent opportunity for you to hear from your peers and domain experts driving technology initiatives within their organizations.
