Cisco Expands Its Enterprise Reach in India As It Pursues Further 5G Opportunity

Cisco is the leader in networking technology globally. It has been gearing itself to capture every little piece of 5G opportunity as it sees huge throughput and ultra-low latency promised to it. It will usher transformative possibilities for enterprise applications. The focus also extends to private 5G networks, as opines Daisy Chittilapilly, President of Cisco India & SAARC. For the first time ever, all previous generations of the network supported fewer devices and had much lower reliability compared to 5G. That makes it perfect for the IoT ecosystem and drives industry-specific solutions.

Role of Private 5G in India

Private 5G or CNPN, is a private wireless network, it is supporting enterprise operations and functioning across such industries as
Manufacturing: Accelerating automation and efficiency in its operations
Transport: Enable its systems and vehicles for real-time communication
Utilities: Drive smarter resource use

Two different ways through which the deployment of private 5G network would be there in India

• Enterprises will be leasing airwaves from a telecom service provider
• Companies would receive the spectrum directly from the telecom department of the government.

Cisco's Engagement with India's 5G Journey
Although India is still in the nascent stages of private 5G adoption, Cisco has already started working with the leading telecom players such as Jio, Airtel, Vodafone Idea, and BSNL. It is involved in multiple pilot projects across critical sectors such as manufacturing, utilities, and oil and gas to help enterprises navigate their generational transitions.

According to Cisco, it may take nearly 18-24 months to be commercially rolled out in India. Many hurdles persist such as having definite business models and monetizing private 5G networks with defined strategies.

Increasing Scope by Partnerships Around the World
Geographically, Cisco is testing the new use cases for private 5G through global partnerships outside India. For example, the company has partnered with Japanese tech major NTT to introduce private 5G capabilities to sectors such as automotive, healthcare, logistics, and retail. These partnerships are essentially a testbed for developing new applications and exploring new horizons for what 5G can do.

Cisco Enterprise Product Portfolio
Cisco has developed a strong range of networking products in the arena of 5G to serve the demand of enterprises for that kind of era:

• Routers: The high-speed connectivity Cisco ISR 4000 series offered small and medium-sized enterprises, it also enhanced its security feature and application performance
• Switches: Cisco has its series of Catalyst model which has 2960X, 3650, 3850 models for scalable and secure with high-performance networks.
• Access Points: Cisco Aironet offers Cisco 1800-series access points providing strong wireless connectivity and rich security features along with latest standard 802.11ac Wave 2 support.

The solutions will allow organisations build secure, scalable network systems that support the wide scope of applications and services driving innovation in 5G.
As 5G adoption increases in India, Cisco is well placed to take the lead and influence the enterprise landscape. Private networks, global partnerships, and innovative products all reflect the company's commitment to innovation and helping businesses realize 5G's potential.
