5G begins at home for Indian IT; Firms eye test beds in campuses

India’s IT firms are drawing up plans to use their campuses spread across the country to create private 5G test beds and build solutions that can be implemented with their clients globally, industry executives said.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the country’s largest IT services firm, will build private 5G networks in its campuses over the next six months, while engineering services provider L&T Technology Services (LTTS) has already established a 5G lab in Bengaluru and is preparing to launch another lab in Mysuru for use cases in medical equipment and manufacturing solutions.
