India is undergoing a digital revolution driven by rapidly changing business requirements and increased usage of data for decision-making. The Indian government aims to develop 100 smart cities, where the internet of things (IoT) will play a pivotal role. At the same time, the need for intelligent buildings is increasing, as more companies are working to make their campuses and facilities world-class, while saving costs and responding to the government’s smart building initiative. Due to the growing need for data transmission systems, particularly in metropolitan areas, the number of telecommunication companies have exploded in recent years. Structured cabling offers critical support for high-performance and unified communication systems; and hence rapid digitization has become a key trend in the structured cabling market for India.
President – sales & marketing Amit Mathur said “Our high-performing LAN components surpass industry parameters to meet stringent functionality requirements. We believe our Passive systems are the best option for delivering speed consistently, thus, providing stress free smart solutions for our customers.”
In India, demand for high bandwidth has risen as internet penetration has increased. Structured cabling enables high bandwidth that is necessary for commercial operations to run smoothly. This ecosystem has evolved at an exponential rate due to its increased data transfer capability, low cost, and flexibility.
