Today’s state of connectivity
With 16% of network operators in Asia Pacific anticipating private networks to generate over 20% of enterprise revenues by 2025, advanced connectivity could become the unsung hero of the region’s digital evolution, and the foundation that will propel the deployment of data- and networking-dependent technologies like edge-cloud services, Industrial IoT, and AI applications.
We are already seeing examples of such future possibilities coming to life, with Singapore recently announcing renewed commitments of more than $4 billion for its Enterprise Innovation Scheme (EIS) to boost the adoption of emerging, hyperconnected solutions such as augmented reality, virtual reality and Industry 4.0.
Such momentum for Singapore not only sets reference examples for the rest of Asia Pacific's economies, including Southeast Asia, to learn from; the expected surge in demand for the technologies will also necessitate the scaling up of current network infrastructure. Being able to deliver on the convergence of Wi-Fi and cellular networks and having the right allocation of spectrum bandwidth, could be essential to unlock the next wave of enterprise transformation.
