Supporting Smart factory Solutions, 5G connectivity in the manufacturing sector has great potential
- Sudhir Kunder, Country Director, DE-CIX India
5G is a cutting-edge technology that aspires to transform connectivity as we know it, creating better, more secure, and more personalized experiences for everyone. The telecom industry has a long history of transformation, and it is now entering an “Exciting Era of Innovation”, Telcos are currently focused on the rollout of 5G technology across India.
5G allows for lower latency and higher transmission speeds. It is a game-changer in terms of the amount of data that can be transmitted over a mobile network, as well as the number of devices that can be connected. 5G can enable peak data rates of up to 20 GBit/s, with up to 1 million devices connected per km2, and data transmission is highly reliable, with a latency as low as one millisecond.
Let’s analyze how 5G technology supports Smart Factory Solutions.
Why is 5G exciting for the manufacturing sector? In a campus setting, wireless connectivity is ideal because of the need for low latency and high bandwidth to meet the specific needs of today’s smart factory solutions. Communication between hundreds or thousands of sensors, machines, AI capabilities, and multiple external networks must be instantaneous, fault-free, high-bandwidth, and low-latency in order for the smart factory of the future to function, even on a single campus.
DE-CIX India The Largest operator of Carrier and Data Center Neutral Interconnection Platforms in the India, has put together five trends in the manufacturing sector that demonstrate the potential of 5G Connectivity.
- Remote maintenance – Safety First, Even from afar
- Intelligent and Autonomous Logistics
- Robotics as a Service (RaaS) to reduce (up-front) investments
- Digital Twins for simulation, designing and testing
- Virtual and augmented reality
Similarly, we have multiple Enterprises, SMEs, SMBs that have already started discussions for compatible solutions with 5G Technology, indicating that 5G is the future of the telecom industry. However, most of these use cases would not function without the assistance of Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/ VR), and Extended Reality (XR)
Multiple Technologies, Multiple Solution Providers, Multiple Ambiguity, and Multiple Conversations to achieve High-Performance, Low-Latency, and Highly Robust Connectivity, Cloud Services Partner, all of which can be easily managed through Secure and Resilient Interconnection Platforms like DE-CIX India while Saving time and Money.
The most Reliable, Secure, and Low-Latency Option for companies is to “peer” – that is, Interconnect directly with specific networks on an Interconnection Platform – with ISPs, CDNs, OTTs Players and Telcos that serve end users in the various markets where the manufacturer operates.

With all the benefits that a state-of-the-art 5G-enabled smart factory brings with it, the connection of this network to the outside world must be just as smart: ensuring Low-latency, High Bandwidth, Highly Resilient, and Secure Connectivity to External Networks. DE-CIX’s Interconnection Platforms offer, for this external connectivity, performance that parallels 5G connectivity for the internal network.
DE-CIX is built for the future “DE-CIX is and will remain the conduit bringing Digital Everywhere, for Everything and Everyone in our daily lives.”
