Hire Telecommunication Software Developers in Basingstoke. 

It’s been almost 18 months since we experienced the first massive event to go 5G: Superbowl LIV. 5G stands for 5th generation and is the latest, but certainly not the last, industry trend set to be deployed worldwide after leaders in telecom have already released their demos and tests. 5G takes seamlessness to a whole other level.

In times when demand for high-speed connectivity is greater than ever, 5G is poised to meet these sky-high expectations. Connectivity cost goes down, ultrafast speed and the much-anticipated lower latency are among its numerous benefits for the network, not to mention how better and faster connectivity could improve mobility, farming, healthcare and retail or the somewhere-around-the-trillion bump in global GDP. As companies start to gradually roll out 5G capable devices and infrastructures, it’s fair to assume that connectivity is taking a huge stride towards the future (McKinsey & Company, 2020).

We’ve discussed how telcos are using AI and ML to drive automation for their infrastructure operations, and 2021 will be a great year in this regard.

Closely connected to 5G network deployment, which is acting as a catalyst for AI and ML integration, the new era of artificial intelligence uses tons of data to predict peak traffic, provide better end-to-end service and enhance connectivity. Opportunities are there for telcos to leverage these technologies for network capabilities improvements, a seamless customer experience and, of course, infrastructure automation.

The telecommunications industry is the largest in absolute size within the IT sector, but has generated only 14 percent of the IT growth as a whole (Brookings, 2019). On the contrary, data processing, internet publishing, and other information services are the fastest-growing segments of services-producing industries.

XaaS is leading IT expenditure in 2021 and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. As investment in legacy technologies (hardware, software, services and telecom) will stabilise, investment in blockchain and other disruptive technologies will increase above average, as spending is diverted towards cloud, mobile, social and big data analytics.

The demand for home and industrial IoT devices and applications will continue to exponentially increase in the post-pandemic world.

As of 2020, the world has now seen the installation of 20 billion active IoT devices (Statista, 2020), and 127 IoT devices connect every second. Simply astounding. The number is expected to grow to 75 billion connected devices by 2025, just 47 months away.
