Telecom Sector Modalities

With virtual communication largely replacing in-person exchanges due to increasing work-from-home option, telecom firms have stepped in to fill the void and aided countless people with large-scale 5G deployments to stay digitally connected.

These include connected cars, augmented reality, virtual reality platforms, smart cities and connected devices that are likely to revolutionize key industry verticals.
