Samsung to back all India-specific 5G use cases

NEW DELHI: Korean telecom gear maker Samsung said India will come up with its own 5G specific use cases that could be applicable to other markets and that the company will ensure it has the technology to use in all those situations.

“Government, as part of the 5G forum, included many partners who are focusing on identifying specific use case,” Srini Sundararajan, Samsung India senior vice president and head (network business), told ETin a recent interaction. “We just want to make sure the technology is available to support any of these uses cases.”

India is looking to develop fifth-generation mobile internet system use cases based on its specific needs — farming, education, next-generation manufacturing or surveillance, Sundararajan said. “Education is something we are working with Japan that will be very useful for India,” he said.
